The Spectacular Hauntings of the Stone Lion Inn

The spectacular hauntings of The Stone Lion Inn is one of the most appealing aspects to this particular structure. This mansion once served as a funeral home. This occurred in the 1920’s. Originally, the structure was constructed to serve as a home for Mr. Houghton and his relatively large family. While it did, in fact, offer adequate room for his family, tragedy struck the family soon after construction. One of his daughters developed what is referred to as “whooping cough”. While the nurses, doctors, and family members worked diligently to help the young girl recover, she was issued the wrong type of medication and soon thereafter, she died.

In the mid to late eighties, the home was purchased by a new owner. Her name was Becky Luker. While excited about her recent purchase, she was quite anxious to begin renovations to the mansion. Naturally, renovations often “awaken” the spirits. As you may imagine, this happened at The Stone Lion Inn. The following details some of the haunting experiences that this owner and others experienced:

• The sound of what resembled that of someone walking would be experienced in the early mornings on the staircase in the back.

• A number of odd and unusual sounds were experienced on a regular basis.

• A great many doors seemed to open at random, but the fear intensified when they would also shut by themselves.

• The owner’s son would put away his toys as expected each night, and in the morning, the toys were scattered around.
