Today on The Grave Talks, the Haunted Lemp Mansion. What started out as a luxurious mansion for some of the most wealthy, affluent of the time, eventually fell into a world of disrepair as a boarding house for undesirable and questionable characters.

The story of the haunted Lent Mansion runs deep, suicide, murder, crimes, many other

deep emotional traumas were all felt within the walls of this historic home.

The haunted let mansion was witness to the celebrated and emerging brewing industry in America.

It also stood as home to heartache, failure, and death.

This is the chilling story of one of America's most haunted locations.

The Lent Mansion.

Betsy Belanger shares her accounts of the undead with us today on the Gravet Talks.

If we go back, that's 1868, but if we go back even a little bit further, we go with the patriarch of the family, which is a man by the name of Johann Adam Lemp.

Now, he's the one who started the whole Lemp saga in the United States.

He came from Germany.

He was a very wealthy man.

He had lots of skills, and he wanted to put his mark on wherever he landed.

So he went via New York, Wisconsin, finally ended up in St. Louis, and settled there.

He first opened up this grocery

business, not like a little grocery store, but a business. And it was down on our riverfront area,

which now is called La Cleeds Landing after one of our founding fathers. So he did very well.

He manufactured a lot of his own things. He got his name out there,

and people liked him. But what he really wanted to do was brew beer, because that's what he had done

in Germany. So that's how the Lemp Brewery starts, because he first opened up a room onto his

business and invited people. And he served them something that St. Louis wasn't used to, and it's called German Lager Beer.

And everybody's heard of that if they've watched a commercial for beer, because that's what Budweiser or Coors or Papps or any of those beers, that's what they are.
