Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

The Brown Mansion

Pittsfield, Illinois

After exposing himself to children and having sex with animals, Tim Brown was given the choice of joining the army or serving seven years in prison. Rather than being punished, Brown used a copperhead snake to kill himself in one of the mansion’s upstairs rooms. Brown’s nude silhouette can sometimes be seen in the upper left window. Furniture is often reported to be heard during the night, and sobbing is often reported on Saturdays–the day of his death.

I’m from Pittsfield, and I am almost 100% certain that there is no home in Pittsfield known as the Brown Mansion. My town is small (pop. 4300), and any home that would be called a mansion, built at a time when military service was an alternative to prison, would be found in my neighborhood. I’m very familiar with the history of Pittsfield and of Pike County, IL, and I never once read or heard about some guy committing suicide that way for that particular crime. If the author of this site could provide some particular information, such as the time Jim Brown lived in the home or the address of the home, it would be very helpful. Also, a friend of mine from Pittsfield is a paranormal enthusiast who really knows his material and does his homework. If this haunting exists, he would know about it. He doesn’t know about it. With that said, until the author of this site can present me with a physical address or a picture of the home in Pittsfield, I can’t believe it.

I live in Pittsfield, Il as well and I haven’t heard of “Brown Mansion” either. I do investigate ghosts and hauntings. Im sure I would have come across this case if it were true. If it is true, them maybe you know someone who can call me and help validate his/her claims. But I really don’t want to come across his naked @$$.

I to also live near Pittsfield, and have my entire life and have never heard of this so called mansion. There are families in the area with the last name of Brown, but the Browns that I know have never heard of this home or this man. This story is a fictious lie. Period.

The house they are talking about is the two story apartment house at 111 E. Fayette and the reason I know this is because there was another story on the internet about it and it gave the address now one of my dads friends lived there about 10 or so years ago and never said he seen or heard anything and he lived in one of the upstairs apartments. I have no clue if this story has any truth to it or not but I thought I would clear up where it is located.

This is just sad. How can you live with yourself posting information that isn’t true? You offer no address, no picture, and a name that isn’t in court records (yes, it is that easy to run a name through the court system and pull this case up; it doesn’t exist.). Someone has spun a tale that is interesting to some, but is a total lie. This should be removed from your site, unless of course, you’re willing to provide some evidence. Which you won’t be able to do because it’s all a lie. If you’re wanting a “classy” site, then you should remove the lies.
