Peabody-Whitehead Mansion, Ep. 499

Posted on August 10, 2023 by History Goes Bump Posted in Haunted Location .

Denver was considered the Queen City of the Plains during the Victorian era and by 1867, it was designated the territorial capital. Colorado would gain statehood in 1876 and a capitol would be built on Capitol Hill starting in 1886. Capitol Hill would become a thriving neighborhood, particularly for the wealthy, and it would be here that Denver’s Millionaire’s Row would be established. The Peabody-Whitehead Mansion is one of the homes that has survived from that opulent era. There are many ghost stories that have been told about this property through the years. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the Peabody-Whitehead Mansion! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Chelsea Flowers and features Oscar the Cat and This Month in History features the Discovery of Penicillin.

    Dennis Galligher was a Colorado politician- state senator for years, author of the infamous Gallagher Amendment trying to reform property taxes in Colorado. He served as Denver City/County auditor. He was also an instructor at Regis University while my son was there – 2000-2005 and was one of Rich’s favorite teachers. Yes, he was a great storyteller! He came to Rich’s graduation party where he and a visiting Jesuit from Dublin kept us all laughing with their stories! Tragically, Dennis’s daughter, who was a friend of our son, died in her sleep over Christmas break of their freshman year from an undiagnosed seizure disorder.

    I haven’t been to the Peabody-Whitehead house – it’s on the list. Peabody was not a good person, and for his role in the miners’ strike alone, he should be condemned,

    So, I had missed this episode, I’m glad I ran across it today!

      Thanks for sharing Shelley! I had not heard that about his daughter. Very sad.
