Top Five Most Haunted in Missouri- Ghost Tours of Missouri

Ghost Tours of Missouri today announced the top 5 most haunted places in Missouri.

"Each year we select the locations based on the quality of evidence and personal accounts of hauntings," said Beth Cooper, owner
of Ghost Tours of Missouri, "for 2010 the Lemp Mansion tops the list as most haunted".

The Lemp Mansion, a former brewery in St. Louis, is well-known by ghost enthusiasts as an extremely haunted building. Built in the
1860's, the mansion has seen its share of tragedies, including death by suicide. Nick Spantgos, co-founder of Paranormal
Research Investigators (PRI), recorded an impressive amount of evidence at the location.

"We documented strange environmental changes and recorded unusual noises in the attic and closet," explained Spantgos, "the
most interesting activity was a fan that moved without reason or explanation.”

Other investigators have confirmed paranormal activity, enough so that the owners now offer ghost tours of the building.

"Because of the dramatic history of Missouri, it is no surprise that there are so many haunted locations," said Cooper, "people are
fascinated by ghosts, and enjoy the thrill of the paranormal."

The top 5 most haunted locations in Missouri are:

1. Lemp Mansion- St. Louis
2. Elms Resort and Hotel- Excelsior Springs
3. Ray County Museum- Richmond
4. Prosperity School Bed and Breakfast- Joplin
5. Union Station- Kansas City

Ghost Tours of Missouri started giving tours in 2008. The tours include history and haunts in 4 cities and continue to expand across
the state.

"We offer an authentic tour experience," said Cooper, "no costumes, no pre-recorded tapes. Our tour guides, most of whom are
paranormal investigators, are skilled storytellers and familiar with the history of each location."
