I love this neighborhood! The houses at 20, 32, and 2:40 are the best. They all look like they've been in horror movies. The spiked wrought iron fences and gates are perfect. I would so want to live in one of those houses.
I don't believe in ghosts, but clearly this neighborhood looks creepy. The architecture is certainly magnificent from the viewpoint of someone who was present in the 1800s and it is quite remarkable to us today. The Lemp Mansion welcomes visitors who stay there hoping to experience ghostly visitations but of course I am skeptical of what they are actually seeing.
That's right. the City of St. Louis lost two-thirds of its population after World War II when many of the old factories became obsolete and there was massive movement to the suburbs. In general people didn't want to live in the hundred year old houses that had deteriorated---but some were willing to fix them up to their original condition.
The Soulard area, where the Lemp Mansion is located, has many beautiful homes of French architecture. I'm curious where House #2, the one that resembles the Addams Family home, is located...

@@garryferrington811 No, it really happened. There were events in St Louis that inspired the Exorcist book and film. Look it up. Whether or not the kid was really possessed by a demon is up for debate.

Spooky 👻 I like it. It reminds me ot that 1970's Halloween Movie.
Sure it’s creepy in some places.😮
Some really nice buildings, but sadly I would not walk those streets, especially at night because of crime not paranormal activity.

I love the the architecture of bygone periods. The craftsmanship alone is spectacular when you consider the tools they had available to use.
@@trishc135 Bricklayers in St. Louis were sought after in other cities, due to their skill.
What an amazing place! How did any of this survive urban renewal?

That’s not soulard.. it’s Benton park
Go the hospital where the exorcist happened 😮
They tore that hospital down I believe it was called Alexian Brothers
There's reality, then there's fiction. Batman isn't real...sorry to bust your bubble, but someone has to do it.
