Haunted Missouri
Said to be one of the ten most haunted places in America, the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri, continues to play host to the tragic Lemp family. Over the years, the mansion was transformed from the stately home of millionaires, to office space, decaying into a run-down boarding house, and finally restored to its current state as a fine dinner theatre, restaurant and bed and breakfast.
The Lemp family made their fortune by brewing beer. Unfortunately, prohibition came along and eventually destroyed the brewery and the family. Four of the Lemps committed suicide during the rise and fall of the brewery - three of them doing it inside the house. William, the patriarch of the family shot himself in the present-day restaurant front dining room. One of the Lemps killed his dog when he suicided, and the disembodied sounds of a dog barking are frequent, as are reports of the piano playing by itself and of glasses at the bar levitating. In the basement, a secret door was found, which leads to one of the many caves on the Mississippi River. These caves were used to smuggle slaves, and during Prohibition, alcohol.
