Stone Lion Inn - Guthrie, Oklahoma

The Houghton home was built in 1906 by T. E. Houghton, a successful merchant who wanted to build a larger home for his expanding family.  They lived in the house for approximately two decades with their eleven children.  They had twelve children, however, one of the children, young eight year old Augusta, came down with the whooping cough and died when she was given an overdose of cough medicine which back in the day, contained opium.  Even after all these years, it is thought that she still roams this house.

The Stone Lion Inn in Guthrie, Oklahoma is said to be haunted by family of it's original owners, the Houghton family.

The Houghton's moved out of the home in the 1920s, when it became a boarding house.  Soon afterward, the home was converted into a funeral parlor.  Years passed and it would seem that the house would go back in time as it became a boarding house again, and then finally a residence again which serves as a bed and breakfast.

The old Houghton house is now the Stone Lion Inn which is owned and run by the Luker family.  Sometimes late at night, footsteps can be heard making their way up the stairs to the third floor.  It is there where the youngest Luker boy's room is located.  Although he stacks his toys neatly on the shelves in his closet at night, in the morning all of the toys are found scattered all over the room as if some youthful spirit were at play during the night.  Sometimes, the patter of little feet can be heard running down the hallway when everyone is snug in bed.  Many believe this to be the spirit of little Augusta Houghton.
