119. MYSTERY: Was the Lemp Family Cursed?

Today, the Lemp Mansion Restaurant & Bar in St. Louis is known for it’s paranormal activity, murder mystery dinner theater, and halloween parties. But in the early to mid-1900s, it was home to the Lemp family, one of St. Louis’s wealthiest families. While the family made great contributions to the beer brewing industry in the United States, it seems these days they’re mostly remembered for the tragic ways they died.
