This Is Missouri's Spookiest Haunted House: Daily Meal

ST. LOUIS, MO — If you’re in for a real scare and not just an attraction, a list from The Daily Meal has the best haunted house to visit in Missouri. Luckily, it's right here in St. Louis.

“Current or former homes with a ghostly presence take on an especially eerie vibe, given they often come with tragic and personal tales of suicide, murder, or heartbreak,” The Daily Meal writes. “So we sought out real houses that are actually haunted* for the ultimate scare.”

The Daily Meal consulted its past coverage and looked up reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor to come up with its list.

In Missouri, The Daily Meal deemed Lemp Mansion one of the spookiest places in the state. Here's what they said:

...The many tragedies of this house began in 1901 when Frederick Lemp, the son of William J. Lemp, died of heart failure in 1901. After William’s best friend Frederick Pabst (of Pabst Brewing Company fame) also passed away in 1904, he shot himself that same year. More tragedies occurred in the house, with three other Lemp children killing themselves in the home over the next 45 years. Today owned by another family, the mansion is now an inn and restaurant with historic and haunted tours, as well as Halloween parties and murder mystery dinners.
