The Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri, is the site of multiple suicides by Lemp family members. After the death of the son Frederick Lemp, whose William J. Lemp Brewing Co. dominated the St. Louis beer market before Prohibition, the legacy of the haunting began. The mansion is said to be haunted by several members of the family and continues to play host to the tragic family, a dynasty of rich beer brewers.
Four members committed suicide, after the death of the son Frederick. One of the ghosts seen is “the monkey faced boy,” who is believed to be William Lemp’s illegitimate son, who had Down Syndrome and kept in the attic.
Over the years, the house 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 dinner theatre, restaurant and bed and breakfast.
