THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Molly Brown House Museum is associated with reports of paranormal activity linked to its famous former owner. Visitors and staff have described apparitions, phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, and objects moving without explanation inside the Victorian home. The museum remains one of Denver's best-known haunted historic houses.
This 1889 stately home was built for Molly Brown and her husband, who survived the sinking of the R.M.S Titanic. Her ghost has been seen wandering around the house, and her presence is usually accompanied by cold spots. Pipe and cigar smoke is smelt in some rooms of the house, attributed to her husband’s presence. The apparition of a lady in Victorian attire moves around the furniture around the dining room and has been seen often by visitors. A ghost known as ‘Johanna’ has been seen in an upstairs bedroom, and the ghost of a mad butler has been seen standing behind people when they go to look in a mirror on the first floor.
