The Lehmann House Bed & Breakfast in St. Louis is known for its haunted history, with paranormal accounts centering on the original owner and other unexplained phenomena. Guests and owners have reported encounters with spirits that are described as more curious than malevolent. The house was built in 1893 for Edward S. Rowse, a wealthy banker and real estate developer who was one of three owners to die in the home. Some visitors claim to have seen Rowse's ghost, including a time when the current owner, Marie Davies, awoke to find him hovering over her dresser. It is believed that restoring the house to its former glory may appease Rowse's spirit. Visitors to the Lehmann House have described a variety of ghostly occurrences: Footsteps are often heard in empty hallways, along with whispers and the faint laughter of children. Items have been reported to disappear and reappear on their own, and a chair was once seen moving by itself in the night. Witnesses have captured floating orbs on camera and spotted shadowy figures. On one occasion, the owner and a plumber heard heavy footsteps pacing the hallway above them while working on a bathroom downstairs. Despite the uncanny nature of the incidents, the spirits at the Lehmann House are generally described as benevolent. Many visitors say they feel a strong sense of connection to the home and a feeling of "coming home" during their stay.
