Come on our chilling ghost tour presented by US Ghost Adventures! Are you ready to take a trip through downtown St. Louis’s most haunted hotspots? Take a terrifying tour through some of St. Louis' most tumultuous histories. Many people consider this unpretentious midwestern city to be their hometown. Indeed, it is so cherished that locals prefer to forget about St. Louis' dark past. The town was originally dubbed "Mound City," and is now cheerfully known as "The Gateway to the Midwest." Conical clay monuments, mainly used as burial grounds, were once common among the region's indigenous people. The majority of the mounds were destroyed when the settlers arrived. St. Louis as we know it today grew on that stolen burial ground. On our St. Louis Ghost Tour, enter the eerie and confront the buried horrors.

After the collapse of the Lemp Brewing Empire, the Lemp Brewery lived on and became the largest shoe manufacturing plant in the world. Sold at auction to the International Shoe Company for 1/20th its value, the brewery remained a major industrial complex until it was forced to shut down due to the construction of Interstate 55. For the next 30 years, the brewery and its dark recesses sat quietly and were nearly forgotten until it was sold again in 1993. Even today, some underground tunnels and basements are still waiting to be rediscovered. During this tour, you will learn of the horrific events that occurred in the Lemp Brewery Bottle Works during these 30 years of silence. Explore the very areas and follow in the footsteps of the victims of these horrors who unfortunately met their fates in the Haunted Lemp Brewery Bottle Works.
