Location: Lemp Mansion; St. Loius, MO
Dates: June 18-19, 2008
Along with the Gateway Arch and the Budweiser beer factory, St. Louis houses many other unique sites. One of these is the historic (and of course, haunted) Lemp Mansion. It was built by a family of beer barons and has a horrible past including numerous deaths. Now it is home to a fancy restaurant and many rooms where guests are often visited by the spirits of the original family and their slaves.
We were told about the Lemp Mansion while visiting the Myrtles Plantation down in Louisiana a couple of summers ago. So when we finally made time to stay in St. Louis, we decided to check it out. Sadly, we didn’t find any evidence of the paranormal ourselves. There was a rather loud party going on in the downstairs restaurant that night, and many other guests staying upstairs with us. In my opinion, the creepiest part of the entire stay was the bathroom down the hall that we had to share with three other women. Other than that, it was an uneventful night. The building was beautiful, the complimentary wine was nice, and the owner was a nice lady, but the abundance of noisy guests that night kept the ghosts at bay I believe.
