GUTHRIE — Ok, we know some of y’all have been patiently waiting for this one to drop. Today, we are going to talk about the Stone Lion Inn and the history behind this very cool and historic place in Guthrie.

According to TravelOK, the Stone Lion Inn was built in 1907, and it’s known for its beautiful Victorian architecture. Located at 1016 Warner Ave in Guthrie, this home was originally built for the Houghton family and their twelve children. According to public records, the mansion consists of 5,347 square feet. Allegedly, the third floor has been commonly reported to be the spot with the most paranormal activity.

GUTHRIE — For those of you who have been with us for quite some time now, you all know by now how much we love a good spooky story.

Over the last several weeks, we have been conducting research, watching we don't even know how many YouTube videos by this point, and gotten sucked down the Reddit rabbit hole about the Haunted Stone Lion Inn in Guthrie.

And before we share what we can verify, which is the actual history behind this place, we also want to talk about the experiences that so many people have claimed to have felt or even seen.

CADDO COUNTY — Y'all, over the last few weeks since we launched our Oklahoma Mysteries series, we had several of you mention a place called Purgatory that is somewhere here in Caddo County. As always, we are very curious.

We tried poking around and heard bits and pieces from several people in our circle, but not enough to really figure out what the story is. So, we're coming to the experts... y'all.

WEATHERFORD — Because we strongly believe in giving credit where it's due, we want to recognize historian Sue Woolf Brenner, whose article, "Dead Woman's Crossing: The Legacy of a Territorial Murder," is an absolutely amazing resource on this case. It's available through the Oklahoma Historical Society - Gateway to Oklahoma History, and it provides one of the most detailed accounts of Katie James' disappearance, the investigation, and the mystery that has surrounded the crossing for more than a century. So, if you're into Oklahoma history, we can't recommend Brenner's article enough. 10/10 chef's kiss.

ANADARKO — Since we've been digging around Caddo County recently for our Unsolved series, we stumbled across a story about the legend of Jeremiah's Bridge, and immediately got sucked down a rabbit hole. Something about ghost stories and hauntings always seems to do it for us.

From what we have read going around online, apparently there are several stories linked to this reportedly haunted bridge.

And yes, this is a very real bridge. We've driven by the original location ourselves more than once, never over the new bridge yet, and had absolutely no clue there was a whole ass collection of ghost stories attached to it until yesterday. Now, every time we think about all the times we have casually driven by, we're sitting here wondering what else we might have missed while minding our own business. Apparently, the rest of Caddo County knew this place had a reputation, and we were just out there vibing completely oblivious.

FORT COBB & CARNEGIE — Well, here we go again. It looks like we've managed to fall down yet another rabbit hole.

Over the past few days, we've been hearing stories about a stretch of road known as the "Old Indian Road", located between Fort Cobb and Carnegie. And let us tell you, some of the stories we've heard are downright creepy.

Now, before anybody comes for us in the comments, we know "Old Indian Road" isn't the official name of the road. That's simply what several people have told us it's commonly known as locally, and it's the name attached to many of the stories we've been hearing. So, for the purpose of this discussion, we'll be referring to it by the name that many people in the area appear to know it by.

ANADARKO — We were listening to a podcast about Ouija boards this morning, and it piqued our interest. It's something we've always been curious about, but never personally messed with because, to be real, we're too chicken shit to ever touch one.

That is one we are going to respectfully sit out and not test in the name of research because if something starts spelling out our names, we're grabbing our keys, leaving the house, and letting whatever's in there have the mortgage. Nope. Y'all can have that.

PARALLEL FOREST — We've been hearing all sorts of cool stories about the Parallel Forest recently, and as always, it piqued our interest. And y'all, this place is pretty neat. If you've never had the chance to visit, we definitely recommend checking it out.

There are so many hidden gems across our state, but this one is, in our opinion, is one of the most unique. Tucked away inside the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge along State Highway 115 is the Parallel Forest. We thought we'd share a little bit of the history behind it and how it got its name, based on what we were able to find.

EL RENO — We recently came across some stories about Fort Reno, and after researching more about it, we thought it was way too interesting not to share with y'all.

So let's start with a little history about the Fort first.

According to the National Park Service, Fort Reno was established in 1874 as a U.S. Army military post. Over the years, it served a lot of different purposes. It helped protect settlers and travel routes, later housed German prisoners of war during World War II, and eventually became an agricultural research center. It also witnessed Oklahoma's transformation from Indian Territory into statehood, making it a place that's seen quite a bit of history unfold over the many years.

OKLAHOMA — Has anyone here ever heard of the legend of the Oklahoma Octopus? We know it sounds a little wild since we're landlocked here in Oklahoma, but after going down the rabbit hole on this one, we found a pretty interesting story.

According to the legend, there's an octopus that somehow adapted to living in freshwater and is said to live in Lake Thunderbird, Lake Tenkiller, and Oologah Lake.

ANADARKO — Today, we're talking about Bigfoot sightings because after last week's discussion about Old Indian Road or Indian Road, as many of y'all were quick to correct us, one thing that kept popping up in the comments was people sharing stories about seeing a Bigfoot-like figure in the area. And it wasn't just one or two people. Several people described seeing something similar, which naturally got us curious.

So, down the rabbit hole we went.

SPENCER – Since we've been doing a deep dive into local legends and hauntings, you've probably already figured out that we truly believe in this spooky shit. Like many of you, some of our staff have experienced things firsthand. Things that simply still can't be explained.

And today, we're branching out a little beyond Caddo County because Oklahoma is full of strange places, creepy legends, and scary stories that have been passed down for generations. There are way too many paranormal locations across our state not to talk about them.

So, of course when people started telling us about a place known as the “Purple Church”, we had to see what all the fuss was about. And let us tell you, the stories surrounding this place are enough to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

CADDO COUNTY — Ok, y'all... now you've got us curious.

Several people have told us we need to dig into Peck's Country Road (we apologize if that's wrong in any way shape or form) and the Bleeding Church, but here's the thing... We've searched, and so far, we haven't been able to find much of anything on either one.

So we're turning to the people who know Caddo County best: y'all.
