Haunted Lemp Mansion St Louis Missouri



We're going to talk about one of the most notorious haunted places in St Louis Missouri. St Louis Missouri is known for it's many breweries Budweiser being one of them. The Lemp mansion that we're going to be talking about today in our writings was one of those famous breweries that sat on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River.

The Lemp Mansion was built in the late 1860s. Several people have died in the mansion some by natural causes some by suicide. Some of the experiences people have and I would be one of them. One evening we were visiting the left Mansion for dinner and, for a ghost tour.

After dinner we began our tour by having one of the curators of the building give us a few appointments and history of the mansion itself. And as we moved along, we were in one room where supposedly one of the sons had passed away. And while we were there the piano sounded, just sounded, and I was splashed with water. We had no idea where this water came from and we had no of the possibility of someone playing the piano took place because there was nobody near the piano.

We were upstairs on the third floor and all of a sudden we saw what looked like an animal crawling past us and we all became quite frightened because we couldn't figure out what this animal was. It was short had black fur and it's snarled a little bit and then it disappeared.

So I would suggest to all of you if you're ever in St Louis stop by the lymph mansion and experience it. Life magazine once called it one of the 10 most haunted places in America and again the lymph families history is quite chilling and especially on the third floor area.

Benedictine University Might Be Haunted?   October 16, 2019   Dielle Ochotorena Perspectives Editor Benedictine Hall circa 1901. Photo Credit: Benedictine University Archives We definitely have a lot of school ‘spirit’ here at Benedictine University. So much so we’re considered  one of the most haunted universities  in the United States. We have plenty of ghosts and no darling, I’m not talking about ghosting people. I mean real actual ghosts, spirits, apparitions, shadows, demons, Casper; whatever you want to call them; they’re all over campus, and who knows, they might be in your dorm room right now, or chilling next to you as you read this article. All the ghost stories come from the 130-year-old history of Benedictine University and its neighbors Benet Academy and St. Procopius Abbey across the street. So, let me give you some backstory. History matters and this is how these stories come about. In 1887, St. Procopius College was founded by Benedictine monks from the St. Procopius Pa

Spring Valley House–Sulfur Springs Hotel

The  Spring Valley House–Sulfur Springs Hotel  is a historic former hotel located along Dee Bennett Road in rural  Utica Township ,  LaSalle County ,  Illinois . Built circa 1849, the hotel is unusually large for a rural hotel in the area. The brick and limestone building, which features  Greek Revival  elements and vernacular stonework, is four stories tall and 63 by 42 feet (19 by 13 m) in area. Its size is likely a result of it serving two different audiences; due to its proximity to the  Illinois River  and a major stagecoach line, it hosted travelers passing through the area, but it also functioned as a resort destination due to the area's  hot springs . Three such springs are located on the site of the hotel, one of which has a  spring house  built over it. The story goes, that a young man was working the farm and fell into the well and drown. His spirit moves about the area and the Hotel's third floor as well.  The opening of the  Chicago and Rock Island Railroad  

Haunted Benet Academy Lisle Illinois

BENET ACADEMY St. Procopius Abbey Cemetery There is a Catholic High School in Lisle Illinois, by the name of Benet Academy. In its early years, it was Saint Procopius Academy and in its much earlier years, it was called St. Joseph Bohemian orphanage, conducted by the Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart and the monks of Saint Procopius Abbey. I will try to give you more of a history of the orphanage later on but I would like to talk a little bit about my experiences when I was stationed at the Academy for 20 years. It was the late summer of 1973, I (Brother Ed, OSB) was assigned to Benet Academy to be the high school stationery, which meant I was going to be in charge with another monk by the name of Brother Columban, OSB who was the treasurer and the head stationer for the Academy. The main job of the stationer was to order all the school books and supplies for the students as well as the faculty and administration. It was also the job of the stationer to set up the school
