History

The Stone Lion Inn was built in 1907 by F.E. Houghton. A home for himself and his large family. He built the house right next door to the one they'd already outgrown. When he and his wife moved in, they had twelve children, including one daughter named Augusta. She was a very playful child, whose games and toys were mostly confined to the third floor. Tragedy struck the Haughton family, however, when the little girl was just eight years old. She contracted whooping cough that left her bed ridden. Because medicines of the day were often laced with opium and codeine, the child died of an accidental overdose. Houghton was devastated by the loss of his little girl.
The Houghton's lived in the home for many more years before moving on some time in the 1920's, when it was leased out as a funeral home. The house actually stayed in the same family until 1986, when it was purchased by Becky Luker. With the help of her sons, she was determined to fix the place up and turn it into Guthrie's first bed and breakfast. However, things took a strange turn when they began renovations.
During the night, they could hear the sounds of someone walking around upstairs and up and down the back staircase. On several occasions, Ms. Luker called the police, but no intruders were ever found. The large third-floor closet, where her son stored his toys, was routinely ransacked by an unseen presence. There were other events, which the Luker's found strange, until a visit from F.E. Houghton's children cleared up some of the mystery. They told her of their sister, Augusta, and identified the chest in the third-floor closet as one they'd used in their youth to store toys. They also related that, after their parents had fallen asleep, they would often creep along the back staircase for some late-night playing.
