Stone Lion is the mortuary — the 'Smith's Funeral Home' that's the '20s leased, the 'embalmed here' that's the bodies prepared. The 'Irene' is the question — the 'whooping cough' that's the child claimed, the 'no daughter' that's the census corrects. The 'patting face' is the felt — the 'child's hand' that's the guests awakened, the 'paper towel thrown' that's the kitchen's toss.
The 'most expensive' is the built — the '1907' that's the statehood year, the '$11,900' that's the ten times normal. The 'skeptic's alarm' is the conceded — the 'rationalize everything' that's the owner's claim, the 'except the doors' that's the one thing left. Stone Lion is the honest — the 'house has issues' that's the Luker's phrase, the 'murder mystery' that's the dinners hosted.
The file keeps Stone Lion: the mortuary years, the disputed Irene, the face-pats, and the alarm's exception.
Stone Lion Inn is the archive's Oklahoma file — the funeral home turned B&B.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Stone Lion Inn is the archive's Oklahoma file — the house that embalmed its guests' predecessors.
An inn keeps its mortuary — the file's suggestion being that Stone Lion's hold is the layered: the 'funeral home' that's the bodies processed, the 'Irene's doubt' that's the legend checked, and the 'alarm alone' that's the skeptic's crack.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] haunting: TravelOK recounts the alleged child ghost Irene. Irene Houghton is the name the reports keep returning to. The hotel keeps the account on its own record — the sort of haunting a building earns one guest at a time. The story is documented as legend — recorded and retold, never verified as fact. 'Most Haunted Places in Oklahoma' carries the account. It's the kind of claim that outlives debunkings — too many witnesses, too few explanations.
