Reports of hauntings at the Hiwan Homestead Museum in Evergreen, Colorado, include accounts of disembodied voices, music, and physical taps from unseen entities. Some believe the paranormal activity is connected to the property's history and its past occupants. Visitors and staff have heard disembodied whispers and footsteps, as well as the faint, mysterious sound of symphony music. The scent of cigar smoke has been detected in areas where there is no apparent source. Some have described feeling a cold presence, like an unseen hand touching their face. People have also reported being tapped on the shoulder by an unseen force. Books have been reported to fall from shelves on their own. Paranormal investigators have recorded unusual spikes in electromagnetic fields, suggesting a presence in certain areas, such as near the old school desk on the main floor. It is theorized that the museum's history and the strong personalities associated with the house have left a lingering, residual energy.
