The Truth Behind Lemp's Monkey Boy

Chris Naffziger is not only a local, he is the foremost authority of the Lemp family. He has written numerous articles for Saint Louis Magazine on the subject. Prior to Chris doing a deep dive into the Lemp family there were other Lemp Historians. Stephen Walker and Davidson Mullgardt did their fair share of hunting, archiving and lecturing on the Lemp family. Stephen Walker wrote the only Lemp book there is detailing the history and the rise and fall of this great family but somethings, were left out.

Enter Franki Cambeletta and Chris Naffziger they have been investigating the Lemp family for years. Franki with his documentary accounting for the death of Elsa Lemp at the hands of her husband Thomas H. Wright and Chris investigating not only Adam Lemp but the entirety of the Family and the Architecture.

Together they took a unique approach to a delicate subject, a famous child ghost that haunts the upstairs attic and surrounding floors of the famed, Lemp Mansion. The Lemp Mansion is in the top 25 most Haunted places in the United States and breaching this story is not only tough, it is personal.

Franki is an avid ghost hunter and is on the largest and most respected paranormal team in the midwest, Paranormal task force. but even they will tell you the Monkey Boy story is thin, with zero facts to support the tale. In this "Shift Speaks" lecture you will not only find out the truth you will find out if Zeke... ever existed. The event is an hour Lecture with a 30 minute Q&A.
