Also the Marthasville campus opened in 1893 with both men and women residents, while St. Charles campus was all women until the late 70’s when they began accepting men.

My boss and I did our first round of bed checks. We started at one end of the hall and worked our way around. At the first rooms we started in the locker door was open. Well, at first, I thought I had left it open when I got the guys ready for bed. I hated these lockers because I couldn't open them without pulling really hard. My boss and I finished the first rounds and then went for our second.
Helping People
I just thought I was going crazy until the next round of bed checks and they were open again. This time when I closed them, I yelled "Stop opening the doors. This is getting quite irritating." It didn't happen again on the next check. In St. Charles there is an OLD OLD OLD place called, Emmaus Homes on Randolph St.. My mother works there and she has worked there for over 20 years. She tells me that some of the building is shut down due to a few ghost walking around. My mother has told me that when you drive by late at night when no one is there you can see in the attic lights flashing on and off.
It is also said that you can sometimes hear a rocking chair and see her sitting in it. Also it is said that they are not harmful that they just watch over the building. Residential services - Emmaus Homes, Inc., founded in 1893, provides 24-hour individualized community supports to approximately 230 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Episode #3 In the same SM building, this time I was working the night shift permanently.
Spiritual Care
No one really goes up in the attic that much anymore. I went up there one day with my mom and my 2 other friends. It was very cold and they have locks on the door. It is said that some people have seen a guy walking around in the attic. There is also a house right outside in the back of the Emmaus where Mr. Morton and his wife lived at, their house is closed down and no one goes in it.
The seminary was in operation at this site until 1883, when it moved to St. Louis and eventually became Eden Seminary. In 1893 the campus in Marthasville became known the Emmaus Asylum for Epileptics and Feeble Minded. The campus grew to a total of eight substantial buildings including a chapel, by 1928. This is an important historic site, having been constructed by some of the tens of thousands of Germans who emigrated here beginning in the 1830s.
Emmaus Homes,
There was a man who rented an apartment up on the upper floor of the Mens building. My boss asked me if I would work part of the night shift with her since the night shift worker was going to be late. On this floor were mentally and physically handicapped men. They were profoundly handicapped which means, they cannot do anything for themselves.
I figured it was just my silly imagination and continued on. The feeling of dread and fear overtook me something awful. Later on, they found a Ouija board in that same spot covering a hole in the wall.

Upon taking some snapshots one night, a picture that was taken held a grim surprise. There in the window of the old vacant house, stood a woman looking back at me. I get a bad feeling every time I go near the home. I was told that it used to be a home for the maintenance man years ago. I cannot explain the photo, or the feeling I get from that house, but I don’t like it. It’s like I am somewhere I have no business being, and someone is watching me, and breathing down my neck.
Emmaus home is a home for people with disabilities. And experienced a lot as well as fellow workers. YP - The Real Yellow PagesSM - helps you find the right local businesses to meet your specific needs.
This house is closed off, with all the suspicion locked inside. I was in there one time, and it is definitely creepy. It is very old, and you can just feel the thickness in the air, and a strong presence all around you. There are stories of course, and I am very skeptical of ghost stories, but it did not take any convincing that I was in a place full of something I could not explain. I was glad to get the chance to see the building, but I have no want or need to go back. I respect the people who may roam this campus that I do not see, because I can feel them here.
This is why for 125 years, our team continues to refer their friends and relatives; growing our Emmaus family to over 700 team members.
