I Don't Believe In Ghosts, But...


Stories of haunted Masonic Lodges are as common as green beans at a Masonic dinner.  The magnificent St. Louis Masonic Temple is not immune from its share of ghostly legends.  Temple historian John Vollmann says he is a non-believer in such events, but on a recent tour, shared the following: "I was working alone in the building. It was about 1AM and I suddenly heard a screeching sound.  It stopped and I went back to work, but then I heard it again.  I searched for the origin, but couldn't find it.  When I went back to work the sound came back.  So I turned up a radio, but couldn't drown out the sound.  I don't believe in that kind of thing, but that's when I decided it would be a good time to leave the building."
