Has anyone actually stayed overnight at the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis?

Never been myself but the Lemp Mansion has been on my radar for years. The history there is pretty grim isn't it - multiple suicides in the same family, that kind of generational tragedy seems to leave a real mark on a place. I do wonder whether the activity people report there leans more poltergeist in nature or just the classic residual stuff, footsteps and cold spots and whatever.

Has anyone actually done the overnight experience they offer? I'm curious whether it felt genuinely active or more like a tourist thing where you're half convincing yourself. Living near Stonehenge I get plenty of "atmospheric" locations that don't necessarily deliver anything concrete, so I'm a bit cautious about travelling that far without knowing what to expect from people who've actually been there.

What did you pick up if you went? Any equipment readings worth noting?

@BrandonThomas the Lemp family history is genuinely one of the darkest in American haunting lore. Four suicides across two generations in the same building, that's not something you see often and you can feel it documented in the accounts people bring back from overnight stays there.

From what I've read and heard from people in research circles, the basement and the attic room are consistently the most active spots. The William Lemp Jr. bedroom reportedly produces some fairly compelling EVP results. One researcher I know picked up what sounded like a child crying down in teh lower levels, which ties into the documented history of a child who died there.

The tragedy layered on tragedy aspect is exactly what creates these kinds of persistent hauntings in my view. Unresolved grief doesn't just evaporate. It soaks into the walls of a place like that.
