1812 stagecoach inn with a Lady in Blue and founder’s ghost.

An inn in Granville, Ohio, built in 1812, Buxton Inn is filed here for what the record attaches to it. 1812 stagecoach inn with a Lady in Blue and founder’s ghost. The name the accounts keep returning to is Lady in Blue. The dossier holds 1 reported claim, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. It still takes guests.

The Buxton Inn opened in 1812 — Orin Granger's stagecoach inn on the National Road route through Granville, among Ohio's oldest continuously operating inns, where two centuries of travelers have eaten and slept under the same roof.
The file's documented spine is the inn's continuity: a stagecoach stop that became a hotel that never closed, the rooms holding the traffic of every era from wagons to automobiles.

THE LADY IN BLUE
The lore reports a Lady in Blue and the presence of founder Orin Granger — the file's ghosts being the inn's own: a woman in blue in the rooms and the founder reportedly still at the inn he opened in 1812.
The Lady in Blue is the file's signature — a spectral guest reportedly still at the inn that never stopped serving, her color the report's most specific detail.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Buxton is the archive's stagecoach-inn file — an 1812 inn still operating, keeping a Lady in Blue and its founder reportedly still inside. The documented continuity is the record; the lingering residents are the lore of two centuries of guests.
An inn that never closed keeps its founder and a lady — the file's suggestion being that the Buxton's register includes entries that never checked out.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Local folklore] named ghost legend: Guests report a Lady in Blue and the presence of founder Orin Granger. The hotel keeps the account on its own record — the sort of haunting a building earns one guest at a time. Local lore carries the account; no documentation has ever caught up with it. The name travels further than the proof; the sightings keep renewing the lease.
