Ep 2: The Lemp Family Tragedy
Does it get any better than a haunted house? But what exactly makes it haunted? Is it ghosts or generational trauma? This week, Halee takes us through the tragic tale of the Lemp Family, one that symbolized wealth and prosperity in early America, all while harboring dark secrets of mental illness. We'll travel back in time to St. Louis, MO and explore caves hidden beneath the city's largest brewery, as we unpack multiple suicides, secret children and insane fortunes that only the 1% can understand. Today, the Lemp mansion is a Bed and Breakfast touting things that go bump in the night. We'll let you decide whether it's a ghost or tragedy still lingering from so many years ago. Happy Haunting!
