Episode Details

This week on My Friends Are Haunted, host Caitlin May is joined by musician and actor Jake Ferree for a chilling deep dive into one of America's most infamous haunted locations—the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri.

Known as one of the most haunted places in St. Louis, the Lemp Mansion is filled with tragic family history, mysterious deaths, and decades of reported paranormal activity. Jake brings the mansion's dark Victorian past to life as he recounts the heartbreaking rise and devastating fall of the legendary Lemp brewing family, exploring why so many believe restless spirits still linger within its walls.

Jake also shares the true ghost stories and real paranormal experiences he had during two separate overnight stays inside the mansion. What began as a romantic anniversary getaway quickly turned unsettling when an eerie "Peeping Tom" spirit seemed determined to interrupt a candlelit bath and champagne evening. Then came the unmistakable sound of footsteps following behind them in an empty hallway—despite knowing they were completely alone.

On a later visit, Jake returned with his sister, hoping their shared German heritage and music might help them connect with members of the Lemp family. What happened next left them questioning everything as they experienced what felt like direct communication from the spirits said to haunt the mansion.
