Lemp Mansion Coachmen
Profile
Sponsor: Acolytes of Beverly, the Devil on the Highway
The Lemp Mansion has stood on De Menil Place since 1868. It has survived Prohibition, abandonment, decades of neglect, and the kind of accumulated sorrow that seeps into walls and doesn’t leave. The Coachmen have been based out of it since before anyone thought to ask permission, and nobody has successfully asked them to leave.
Strange things happen around their vehicles. Frost on windshields on warm nights. Headlamps shattering without impact. A low vibration felt in the chest before they arrive that has no mechanical explanation. The Coachmen don’t bring this up. They don’t need to.
What they will tell you, quietly and without elaboration, is that they are never entirely alone on the track. Something moves between their cars — present here, then there, then somewhere else entirely — and whatever it is has never once shown up when expected or failed to show up when needed.
They find this reassuring. Most people find this worse.
