My mom was born in 1921 and grew up near the Lemp, in Soulard. She swam in that underground pool as a small child. She said they would let the neighborhood kids in. There is also a story told by the mansion next door to the Lemp mansion, the Chatillon DeMenil, that they took a geologist down in the caves to see a rock formation. He stopped at a certain spot and would not go further. He said that there was something down there, and turned around and went back. I belonged to a paranormal group and got a great EVP at the Lemp. We also got an EVP in the DeMenil, as we looked at the bricked up tunnels in the cellar. One of our guys said, "I would love to go in those tunnels." The EVP said, "They're blocked, go back." I have never gone down in the caves, except for the spook house. Fascinating video!
This is awesome! My brother in law had his wedding reception in an area by the Lemp (I don't know if it was actually in the Lemp that was a long time ago lol) and it was super cool. But staying the night there... no thank you.
I think Ghost Adventures tried to get to those caves years and years ago but they told them they could not find the keys to the door, real cool you guys could get in there. Very interesting as always.
This is one of the best videos of the Lemp Caves I've seen, from entrance through the pools to the stage to part of the Cherokee Caves. All shot well in HD so the details are crisp. Also awesome seeing high up in the silo. I can't help but feel a bit jealous, but I'm glad and thankful you two were able to film it and film it well. Keep up the good work!
That really is a beautiful building and thank goodness no one has knocked it down for “progress”. Can you imagine how it was built, brick by brick back then, and the people that worked there when it was active 😮 Amazing footage and I hope more individuals give you access to document history 🙌🏻
Another instance of Michael & Jessica going above (below in this case) and beyond to bring us the Grimmest of adventures. As always, thanks for dragging us along and Grimm for Life! 👻
I live in St.Louis & am a huge fan of the lemp brewery history & the family. (4 members committed suicide due to mental illness, business failures, madness etc) Thank you for going to the top of the tower where the grain silos are. I've always wondered what's in there. This episode is very well done.I Enjoy your channel. Loved the grain grinders.
Thats my old neighborhood. I grew up three blocks from Lemp Mansion. My dad used to play and run around in the caves in the 50s and 60s. He also worked across the street at Cherokee candy company. Thanks for going down there. I have always wanted to go down there. I looked at the Lemp brewery every day i went school across the street. So awesome to see it. ❤🙏
I don't know. I wasn't born until 67. Most of my family grew up in that neighborhood and is still there. My dad has passed so I only can tell what he told us growing up. But there a few books on the Cherokee and Lemp caves. I few articles on lines also. Facebook has St. Louis profiles and they have some pictures. ❤️🙏
I must say, it does look a bit imposing. Kinda gives me the feeling that I got when I seen the House from the newer House On Haunted Hill films. Oddly off-putting for sure.
I’ve lived approximately 45 minutes from Saint Louis my whole life (51 years) and i have yet to visit the Lemp Brewery! Thank you so very much for this phenomenal video! I love watching you two, and I was so excited, and surprised, that you were in Saint Louis, I hope you enjoyed yourselves and got to meet some great people and see some fun places while visiting 😊 Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
Yours is one of a few channels that I go full screen on to watch and rightfully so. The lucky individuals that watch and appreciate the sometimes rarely seen beauty of behind closed doors and walls that you obtained through the camera lens for us. We appreciate you! The knee knocking or weak in the knees sensation is difficult to explain or reproduce but it is exhilarating! I would have loved to have been where you were on top of the silos! I do envy your position!
@@1028dianemarie unfortunately I do not watch it on tv. I don’t have one. I’m on a fixed income and utilize a tablet I received over a year ago as a gift.
Been down there several times. Rappelled down the chute at the 17 min mark the first time. Then found access through another building. Gave many tours to locals. Wish I could go back. Even just the basements of the compound are amazing. Like out of a horror movie just like they say. Glad someone legit finally gets to document this awesome piece of St Louis history.
This was fantastic. I’m not from ST. Louis so never have heard of the Lemp brewery. This is so amazing! You guys are so lucky to have gone here! Thank you for the wonderful tour
I had to go read the history of these caves. Very interesting. At one time they excavated the clay in the caverns and found 3,000 fossils for the natural history museum. Other facts I found. The pool was heated. The trench in the floor was there to drain excess water from the caves. Those tall shafts you looked up were ice shafts. They would dump large quantities of ice into the caverns to bring the temp down for the brewing process. Cool video. I always enjoy learning obscure history.
All I can say is WOW, thank you Michael and Jessica for the privilege of seeing the caves! I've been fascinated with the Lemp story since MTV's show Fear where they featured the brewery under another name. You guys are the BEST! ❤
I didn’t realize that show featured the Lemps. I actually really liked that show back then, but I was also a lot younger. Need to see if I can find old episodes. Michael and Jessica’s video is hands down, the best. So thorough, great footage. Much appreciated.
I loved it. what I like at most in this channel is that you guys don't make any sensacionalism, you just show us the raw and true thing, and this is really something. 😊😊
Great video.Never knew there was a stage or swimming pool down there.Had heard of the mansion and the Cherokee Cave .Never got to St.Louis.Would have been cool to see the mansion.My dad would never do a ghost hunt, but it would be cool to go to one there,and maybe have him ask some questions in German since that,s what the Lemp family was.
This is so awesome! This is the neighborhood I grew up in and it's neat to see something I always heard about. It's so cool that you got to tour these caves!
Great video! There are caves all over St. Louis. Anheuser Busch the other big brewery in St. Louis had a huge cave system they used also with some interesting features. Keep up the great work.
Sure - of course you got access. I think you guys could get access to Area 51 if you asked. You guys are amazing and this was an amazing and really interesting tour. Thank you for making this happen!
Being able to see a place that hour after hour is in pitch black for so many years other than the rare occasion someone is down there with light just fascinated me! But to think those little shrimp and frogs have managed to find a way to live in that environment in total darkness and find a way to repopulate just blows my mind. Thank yall so much for this amazing video!
Great video!!! I moved to the St. Louis area in January of 2000 and have driven by Lemp I don't know how many times! Thank you so much for doing this! I've heard the stories and am thrilled to have gone on this journey with you! Very grateful! ❤
I so much love Dracula movies 🎥 and Castlevania video games 🎮 this video gave me so many imaginations. It is amazing in there! Thank you so much for the walkthrough 👍 hello from Beverly Hills California
I had never even heard of this place, so very cool. As a truck driver, I drive through St. Louis every day going back and forth between KC and Columbus, Ohio. The caves were spooky as hell. They really put a lot of work into that place. You guys really scored a great video on this one. Nice! 👍
I love how you guys go above, and in this case below, and beyond to take us on these adventures. I had heard about the caves in passing but I had no idea there was a pool and theatre room! That's completely insane, and honestly giving Paris catacombs vibes like when people found a whole movie theatre that was dismantled the next day (or within a few days I forget). I also had the thought of it's like the batcave if Thomas and Martha survived lol.
Michael my wife and I watch your channel all the time, and we love when you go to real Haunted House's. Loved your tour of the UK, and everywhere you and Jessica go. We would really like to see you come to Canada, and tour our Province's like Ontario where we live. We have some great Hauntings in Niagara Falls, and Niagara On The Lake, and Toronto, and many more, but all of our Province's from the East Coast to the West Coast, and every Province in between, have some very good stories that you could do on uour channel. Hope to see you up here one day soon, and keep up the great content, and the good work you do!
I’d imagine with all the rumors, family death and pressures from prohibition that they wanted to stay away from the public as much as possible. I’d probably stay recluse as well.
A big thank you goes to the property owners for allowing filming. When I saw that small cement steps in the underground area I wondered who could have been the last person to have used those. It appears like the owners are working on renovating the property. If so, they have their work cut out for them. I'm going to share this vid with a Facebook friend who is a brewmaster in Canada.
I'm so glad you GriMMs made it out of there, seeing as how you had time to edit it this episode---- love your Moxy... I'm very claustrophobic, so I would NEVER try doing this expedition, so LOVE your guts to pull it off. Currentl, I'm busy, but I will venture to view this one in it's entirity. .... Be safe werever your adventures take you, and thanks, again for another fine episode..... :^)""""""""
You two are amazing ! I love the adventures you guys go on . I live north of KC and I have heard about the Lemp underground and seeing it blows my mind! Thank you both for such an amazing journey . Love ya both !
That brewery is an architectural marvel . To be still standing after 150 years . Especially all of those bricks . Over time , the mortar in between the bricks starts to disintergrate. Usually around the 100 or so year mark . Does St.Lois have a consistent climate ? No major freeze and thaw cycles ? And below the buildings , the Lemp and Cherokee caves are strange indeed . Why were they built ? Imagine back then how hard construction methods were . What does the future hold for this property ? Is there going to be funding to bring them back? I hope so, it would be a shame to let them go . Thank you for taking us along on this journey back in time . Happy, Happy Halloween! 🎃
@@gc4644 True. But I was thinking about the extensive work that has been done on them. Especially the theater stage and swimming pool. The many 'secret' access points. Guess business was low at the brewery at the time.
Billy Lemp JR was the 'wild child' he had already blown the Lemp money years before that, building the theater and pool and having the first electric in St. Louis City. He had lavish parties and his own hooker on the side from what I could find in the history. Sounds just like Billy Busch years later, Whom Ive met,...go figure. @@iRelevant.47.system.boycott
This was so cool!! I wonder if there were ever any pictures taken down in the caves when they were hosting parties or whatever was going on down there. It would be really cool to see what the swimming pool and the stage looked like back then. I love "before & after" type pictures. The lights flickering at 33:00 was totally creepy but somehow very fitting, and OMG what was up with all the flickering lights??
That was awesome guys if those caves could talk. Seeing that old machinery that was cool. I bet it was cold down there. I could not have climbed up that high I am afraid of heights for sure and I am claustrophobic. Great video guys loved it.
So HAPPY to have come across these two. Their adventures and lessons are amazing and come with the best delivery possible. Listening is fun.. but when you get to actually see.. man. Love your work Michael and Jessica. Thank you!
Probably one of the most amazing and coolest videos yet. I've been watching you guys for years, and this one takes the cake. Amazing job guys, and please keep'em coming.
Absolutely awesome. Really loved this video. Like you said, it would be interesting to see old photos and read up on the history of that brewery. Thank you for showing g.
Ive been to the Lemp mansion, the Lemp brewery, the Lemp ghost hunter tour, and its haunted house attraction. Ive always wanted to see the caves & caverns, this is awesome!! Thanks so much for all the efforts!!
This video is VERY VERY well done!! I have been in the basement, the bank vault, and several other buildings on the property. THANK YOU for the EXCELLENT footage!
Great video! St. Louis is an incredible city with such a rich history. I can't imagine all the people it took to build the Lemp brewery. There's so many levels of interesting things to discover and discuss there. The blueprints to that place must be somewhere in the city archives. The tour guide seems like a really cool dude too.
I've done so much reading of the Lemp stories yrs ago.. said he also had a bowling alley down there and him n his friends had parties with prostitutes and one became pregnant for him but was born with down sdyrome and was kept in the attic of the mansion. He divorced his wife in 1909.. and 1915 remarried but ended up depression and killed himself. His brother Charles moved in the mansion with two severants and the his brother child in the attic, which he died at age of 30 , sadly was buried at the lemp cemetery with only single marker saying Lemp. And Charles ended up killing himself from certain mental issues with his dog..sad, lonely story of a family with wealth but no happiness really..thank u and Jessica for sharing this underground..it was spooky, and yet lot history..
That was mind blowing!! It gave me chills. The best ever!! My sister Rebecca Pittman wrote the book “ The History and Haunting Of Lemp Mansion “ I was fortunate enough to sleep in one of the rooms while she was doing research for it, and the chandelier kept flickering on and off when she asked were any spirits around!!! I slept with one eye open after that! Thank you for this. You two are awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
This was an awesome video Grimm Life Collective. It was amazing to see the inside of that old building and what was inside. The staircase was very cool but WOW I bet that you were wore out, I know that I would have been 😂! Been watching you for awhile and you have made some very well made videos and I have my favorites but this one is Awesome! Nicely done!
I have to say this video was incredibly cool. I've heard of the lemp Mansion but I never knew about the tunnels. Watching you walk through there and showing us everything was absolutely amazing. Everything just took my breath away
Im just binge watching your channel. I cant get enough. Thanks for your hard work and dedication ❤ you two are just the best. I feel like connecting with people like you(even just through a screen) it raises my vibrations. Thanks for that❤
I’ve been hooked on watching abandon places for several years. I live in Kansas City and have visiting St. Lewis on my bucket list. Nothing will ever be able to compare to this explore. This is the first time tuning into your channel and you just won yourselves a subscriber. A big shout out to the owners for their willingness and kindness to let us experience a big part of history in St. Lewis. “Walking out History “. I love it! ❤
My favorite vids have been The Goonies and the Lost Boys episodes. That being said I think this video trumps them both for me. Thank you so much for visiting this magical place! One thing to make note of. This is in St. Louis! I would never have expected something like this to be there. If I watched the vid not knowing where they are I would have guessed it to be another country. Just amazing! Thanks again!

What a cool place to have a wedding reception!
This video puts into perspective of how much uncharted territory there is underneath the surface of it all. Amazing video!!

An zak was scared shi**less 😂😂😂
I live in St.Louis, this is the BEST video and tour of the Lemp cave to date. Thanks guys
I kinda wanna go check them out now. Howdy from LOTO.

I can’t imagine what it took to build that complex in the 1800’s. Crazy. Great vid.
Hundreds of donkeys lmao
It was already there before Lemp and AB-those caves have been used for centuries, one of reason St Louis was settled
@@markmcarthy596 centuries? Could only be 2 at the most!

This was wild. Really appreciate the quality of your photography Michael.
I had to go read the history of these caves. Very interesting. At one time they excavated the clay in the caverns and found 3,000 fossils for the natural history museum.
Other facts I found. The pool was heated. The trench in the floor was there to drain excess water from the caves. Those tall shafts you looked up were ice shafts. They would dump large quantities of ice into the caverns to bring the temp down for the brewing process.
Cool video. I always enjoy learning obscure history.
I was also noted that rumors of an entrance from the mansion are not true but rather the entrance was from another building on the property.
Yes! It absolutely provokes a good historical intrigue!
Wonderful!

Fellow St. Louisan here. Thanks for the tour, very interesting!!
I remember as a teen in St. Louis that Lemp would take the cave to and from work without ever going outside.
Why?
Because he could. !!
It was warm in the winter and dry, kept them out of the weather.
I’d imagine with all the rumors, family death and pressures from prohibition that they wanted to stay away from the public as much as possible. I’d probably stay recluse as well.
How old are you?
So glad you made reference to it because this looks exactly like "As Above, So Below".

That brewery is an architectural marvel . To be still standing after 150 years . Especially all of those bricks . Over time , the mortar in between the bricks starts to disintergrate. Usually around the 100 or so year mark . Does St.Lois have a consistent climate ? No major freeze and thaw cycles ?
And below the buildings , the Lemp and Cherokee caves are strange indeed . Why were they built ? Imagine back then how hard construction methods were .
What does the future hold for this property ? Is there going to be funding to bring them back? I hope so, it would be a shame to let them go .
Thank you for taking us along on this journey back in time . Happy, Happy Halloween! 🎃

So HAPPY to have come across these two. Their adventures and lessons are amazing and come with the best delivery possible. Listening is fun.. but when you get to actually see.. man. Love your work Michael and Jessica. Thank you!
Probably one of the most amazing and coolest videos yet. I've been watching you guys for years, and this one takes the cake. Amazing job guys, and please keep'em coming.
Born and raised In stl love seeing and hearing about the old downtown history its the best!
That was awesome you guys. History oh my heaven's nothing like going through that underbelly of the Lemp building! So glad you got permission! ❤❤
Absolutely awesome. Really loved this video. Like you said, it would be interesting to see old photos and read up on the history of that brewery. Thank you for showing g.
Ive been to the Lemp mansion, the Lemp brewery, the Lemp ghost hunter tour, and its haunted house attraction. Ive always wanted to see the caves & caverns, this is awesome!! Thanks so much for all the efforts!!
Too cool. Very jealous. I have seen most of the lemp complex and mansion. Love the history. Nice job. STL is so lucky to have it. 🐟💜
Awesome and informative video. Glad I have "arrived" back from the afterlife to see another video again. Happy Halloween 🎃
Even those who have passed on get some benefits I guess lol. Thank you for watching another adventure
This video is VERY VERY well done!! I have been in the basement, the bank vault, and several other buildings on the property. THANK YOU for the EXCELLENT footage!
"If for some reason all of our lights fail, there's no getting out." Yikes!
Thanks for the tour, and Happy Halloween.
Great video! St. Louis is an incredible city with such a rich history. I can't imagine all the people it took to build the Lemp brewery. There's so many levels of interesting things to discover and discuss there. The blueprints to that place must be somewhere in the city archives. The tour guide seems like a really cool dude too.
I've done so much reading of the Lemp stories yrs ago.. said he also had a bowling alley down there and him n his friends had parties with prostitutes and one became pregnant for him but was born with down sdyrome and was kept in the attic of the mansion. He divorced his wife in 1909.. and 1915 remarried but ended up depression and killed himself. His brother Charles moved in the mansion with two severants and the his brother child in the attic, which he died at age of 30 , sadly was buried at the lemp cemetery with only single marker saying Lemp. And Charles ended up killing himself from certain mental issues with his dog..sad, lonely story of a family with wealth but no happiness really..thank u and Jessica for sharing this underground..it was spooky, and yet lot history..
I had heard of the Lemp Mansion because I'm really in to ghost stuff but I never heard of the caves. Awesome video. ❤😊
This place is beautiful and it seems like a real adventure. Thx for showing
Is there any place like this over in your neck of the woods? Would be so so cool to explore !
That was mind blowing!! It gave me chills. The best ever!! My sister Rebecca Pittman wrote the book “ The History and Haunting Of Lemp Mansion “ I was fortunate enough to sleep in one of the rooms while she was doing research for it, and the chandelier kept flickering on and off when she asked were any spirits around!!! I slept with one eye open after that! Thank you for this. You two are awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
My favourite TH-cam channel. You two are amazing and love every video
Drive by the mansion everyday, really cool to see this view of it. Thanks!
This is the best! Thanks for bringing us along❤❤❤
Wow!! Another awesome video! Thank you Michael and Jessica for all you do. ❤
So good to see you guys again loved the video and this one! That place gave me the creaps!
Wow to Grimm Life...happy explorations and love from Michigan!
This is awesome!!! The legends are true! The caves would be so amazing to see in person!
Thank you again for a very informative tour with your extra twist to the narration 🤗
Wow, this is one of your best episodes, to my mind! Those tunnels and caves are just awesome!
This was an awesome video Grimm Life Collective. It was amazing to see the inside of that old building and what was inside. The staircase was very cool but WOW I bet that you were wore out, I know that I would have been 😂! Been watching you for awhile and you have made some very well made videos and I have my favorites but this one is Awesome! Nicely done!
I have to say this video was incredibly cool. I've heard of the lemp Mansion but I never knew about the tunnels. Watching you walk through there and showing us everything was absolutely amazing. Everything just took my breath away
Definitely one of my favorite videos by far! That's the kind of place that scares me.
What an Amazing place ! So freaking creepy and cool, thank you so much GLC. ❤️🇨🇦
I was hoping for the actual mansion included ite video as well. But still a super awesome video :) thanks Michael & Jessica!
8:52 note the blueish tint to the ceiling? The Lemp family painted the sky on it for the theater and swimming room.
That looks insane but awesome
Man i'm jealous iv'e explored numerous abandoned places here in England but none that massive !! Larry and the other guy were super cool to do that to
Thank you for the under ground look into the abyss
Secrets secrets…we spill secrets. Thank you for watching.
Thanks
You guys are the best. We see things that very few see! Thank You!
Im just binge watching your channel. I cant get enough. Thanks for your hard work and dedication ❤ you two are just the best. I feel like connecting with people like you(even just through a screen) it raises my vibrations. Thanks for that❤
One of your best adventures yet guys!
One of your coolest videos yet! Thanks for taking us along!
Good morning Michael and Jessica hope you are doing great Happy Sunday
the tour guide is so passionate and full of joy!
Another absolutely astonishing video. Just thrilling!
My stomach totally sank when you hit the heights, though.
I’ve been hooked on watching abandon places for several years. I live in Kansas City and have visiting St. Lewis on my bucket list.
Nothing will ever be able to compare to this explore.
This is the first time tuning into your channel and you just won yourselves a subscriber.
A big shout out to the owners for their willingness and kindness to let us experience a big part of history in St. Lewis.
“Walking out History “. I love it! ❤
It's St Louis😊
Always a good day when y'all post a video!❤😊❤😊❤
My favorite vids have been The Goonies and the Lost Boys episodes. That being said I think this video trumps them both for me. Thank you so much for visiting this magical place! One thing to make note of. This is in St. Louis! I would never have expected something like this to be there. If I watched the vid not knowing where they are I would have guessed it to be another country. Just amazing! Thanks again!
Interesting place, I give you and Jessica a lot of credit for going through the caves!
