The Lemp Mansion

Over fall break I went to St. Louis to this really old historical mansion called the Lemp Mansion. It has a very haunting history. William Lemp was the man of the house who owned a Brewery way before Anheuser Busch. He had everything in the world, but one day depression hit him for some odd reason so he committed suicide. Long story short everyone in the family became depressed and everyone killed themselves. The Lemp Mansion still stands to this day and is preserved and well kept. You can eat there and even do a bed and breakfast. Never would I ever do a bed and breakfast there. Could you imagine? I have seen too many movies. Well, we had a nice lunch there, and usually because of the bed and breakfast you are not allowed to go upstairs. Apparently the people that were currently staying up there were away so it was open for people to roam around.  We were too excited:D A little nervous though... We would be entering the exact rooms where these people had committed suicide and still haunt the mansion to this day. The mansion was absolutely beautiful. All the rooms were so extravagant. These people had the best of the best. Encounters? YES... I have never believed in spooky, demon, ghoul kind of things. But I definitely believe in angels/spirits. When I was in the lavender room there were no vents, the windows were shut, and it was really warm and cozy. Whenever I walked passed her bed a very cold breeze nudged passed me. I tried to think logically thinking it might just be a draft in an old house, a fan somewhere or something. Nothing was there. I was kind of shook up afterwards. My little sister Madelyn was in a bathroom and I literally saw her go back like something had pushed her. Indeed it had. This was no kind of show or prank she was teasing me with. Dad had to carry her the rest of the way. You can definitely feel some kind of energy in that house. You have to be there to experience it. Workers there experience these kind of encounters all the time. They are used to it. I can't imagine. Here is a link to the website. You can read more about the history. http://www.lempmansion.com/
