I came across this article from KMOV.com in St. Louis, Missouri: “Ready to explore the Lemp Mansion without leaving your home? Check out this 3D tour.”
It will not only make this week’s Haunted Headlines post, but was so intriguing I had to write about it.
Terrified to explore the Lemp Mansion in person? The Lemp Mansion website is now offering a virtual 3D tour that you can watch from the comfort of your home.
It seems like when I first started Haunt Jaunts back in 2009, the Lemp Mansion and its alleged hauntings used to crop up all the time. In fact, it was in the news and on social media so much, it was high on my list of haunted places to jaunt to.
In 2010, my husband and I spent a 4th of July weekend with some friends who had moved to a suburb of St. Louis. We made a detour on the way home to check out the Lemp Mansion. But all I was able to see was the outside, because it was closed for a private party.
But now thanks to their 3D tour videos, I can virtually explore to my heart’s content! And so can you.
Lemp Mansion 3D Tours
Here’s the four 3D spaces you can check out:
- The Mansion
- Lemp Mansion Patio, Gazebo & Coach Haus
- Lemp’s Loft
- Lemp Grand Hall
All you have to do is click their Video Gallery tab and choose your destination.
That’s right. No charge or anything.
So if the cost to get there or to book a room was prohibitive, but you’ve always been curious about exploring inside, they’ve made it possible to still enjoy it! Thanks, Lemp Mansion!
Lemp Mansion Ghost Tours
I was also happy to see they’re still doing ghost tours.
They happen most Monday nights. Tickets are $25. Reservations are required.
To learn more, see the Ghost Tours section on their site.
Paranormal Investigation at the Lemp Mansion
Something else you’ll find under the Ghost Tour section of their site is something called “The Lemp Mansion Experience: The Hunt for Paranormal Activity. The New Generation of Ghost Hunting.”
There’s a “Get Details” link that takes you to the Lemp Experience page, which gives you more details.
But in a nutshell, you get to use an infrared camera to “record your journey through three floors of the darkened Lemp Mansion.”
Tickets are $35 and include a soft drink or cocktail and light appetizers.
Lemp Experiences only happen on select dates only. The remaining dates for 2018 are:
July 26
August 9, 23
September 6, 13, 20, 27
October 4, 11, 18, 25
November 1, 8, 15, 29
December 13, 27
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
