Nestled along South Broadway in St. Louis, Missouri, The Chariton was more than just a neighborhood barbecue joint. Behind its welcoming façade, dark secrets, Prohibition-era crimes, and tales of violence and betrayal lurked in the shadows. From bootlegging and organized crime to tragic deaths and restless spirits, the history of The Chariton is as layered as the building itself.

A Journey Through Time

• Explore the Wieland family’s rise and the mysterious ownership changes.

• Uncover chilling stories of hidden evidence, bodies in cement, and violent ends that echo through time.

• Learn how WWII, war shortages, and family sacrifices led to the temporary closure of The Chariton.

• Dive into the supernatural side — restless spirits, sinister energies, and unexplained phenomena that haunt the building to this day.

A recently discovered hammer found hidden in the walls of the building may hold clues to violent crimes long buried. Could this be the key to unlocking even more secrets? My deep dive into historical records, psychic impressions, and first-hand investigations has revealed a chilling pattern of violence and secrecy that has left an indelible mark on The Chariton. This book doesn’t just tell the story — it gives a voice to the spirits and secrets that refuse to remain silent.

What’s Next…

Along with the release of the book, for my YouTube channel The Monica Medium Experience, Paranormal Investigations, there will be a Part 3 episode where I will end the Chariton Restaurant series with a finale. It’s not the end forever, but for now. I have Part 1 and 2 already where I’ve investigated numerous times at this location, and each time, the history of the location intrigued me and made me want to dig further. You can watch those here.

In Part 3 Finale Episode, it will be broken up into three parts.

• I will be sharing all of my historical evidentiary findings from my time at the library and with archivists.
• I will record my visit/paranormal investigation while at the cemetery where the Wieland family is buried.
• Conducting of interviews and witness testimonies from the staff and new owner of the old restaurant.
• Final investigation at the restaurant and sharing with the spirits what I’ve discovered about them.
• Announcement of the book and where you can go to purchase a digital copy.
