During the turn of the last century, a common treatment for mental illness was Ice Submersion Therapy.  Medical personnel would submerge the patient in a specially designed tube filled with freezing water.  In theory, the sudden shock of being immersed in ice-cold water would reset the patient's mental processes and cure them of their mental ailment.   Today, we know that this medical procedure was torture at best. Patients suffering from a heart condition, being plunged into freezing water, could induce a heart attack. Also, being suddenly plunged into ice-cold water is extremely painful. Medical staff utilized this aspect of ice submersion as a form of punishment for unruly patients. Ice Submersion Therapy required the patient to be wrapped tightly in a canvas sheet. If the patient passed out due to the pain of being submerged in freezing water, or was left unattended. The patient could slip beneath the water and drown. Also, if the patient was left in the ice submersion bath too long, they could die of hypothermia. Needless to say, this form of treatment was dangerous at best, and patients often died as a result.  

​

  From a paranormal aspect, signs of a spiritual attachment or demonic possession often mimic symptoms of a mental illness.  How many possessed people were mistakenly tortured in the name of medical science? When the ice submersion therapy didn't work, these spiritually tortured individuals were often cast into an asylum to live out the rest of their arduous lives.

  Years ago, the St. Louis Paranormal Research Society acquired the ice submersion tub from the old St. Louis City Hospital's Psychiatric Ward.  This ice submersion tub is one of the largest trigger objects and the most cursed item our society has ever encountered.  The St. Louis Paranormal Research Society has kept this tub hidden in a seldom-used tunnel in the Lemp Brewery Bottle Works for the past few years.  During its concealment, we conducted experiments and research to better understand this haunted item. 

​​

  Once our research was complete, we moved this massive tub into the third sub-basement of the Lemp Brewery Stock House, some 40 feet underground.  Now, we are offering to the public Necromancy Sessions with Psychic Medium Shannon Trump as she uses the ice submersion tub as her trigger object.   This third-story sub-basement sits above the Cherokee Cave, which serves as a resonator and conduit for the spirits that haunt the Lemp Brewery Complex.
