Four Oklahoma places with a haunted reputation and a public door

Stone Lion Inn, Guthrie

The Stone Lion will rent you one of six rooms, and it will sell you a Friday or Saturday murder-mystery dinner. Rachel Hopkin's KGOU script, published October 28, 2025, has the owner, Grant Aguirre, telling guests about a little girl named Irene. The same script says Oklahoma Paranormal Research and Investigation could not verify that girl in the records the group checked.

TravelOK, read in October 2026, prints 1016 W Warner Ave, Guthrie, OK 73044. Phone, 405-282-0012. Email, stonelioninnbb@aol.com. The website link on that listing is http://www.stonelioninn.com/slindex.html. That address opened as one line, "The Stone Lion Inn Website By Unique Designs," and it did not print hours, a rate, or a ghost. https://stonelioninn.com/ and https://www.stonelioninn.com/ each returned "Page is loading, Please wait....." Those three pages did not print a front-desk clock. TravelOK does not print one either.

The TravelOK description says the house is a 1907 Victorian mansion with six guest rooms and a full gourmet breakfast. "Known for its Murder Mystery Weekends, Stone Lion Inn also makes a create event venue." Create is the spelling. "Every Friday and Saturday night, up to 40 guests participate as characters in a murder mystery complete with a seven course dinner. The event lasts for four hours." The page does not print a start time, a price, or a Sunday sitting. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. The Friday-and-Saturday line does not cover it. The page does not say the building is closed to overnight guests on Sunday. It also does not say a walk-in door is open.

Hopkin's episode page is "Why is Guthrie's Stone Lion Inn considered Oklahoma's most haunted property?" The byline is Rachel Hopkin. The page prints "Published October 28, 2025 at 2:32 AM CDT." The transcript PDF, linked from that page, has a creation date of October 27, 2025, 10:26 a.m. CDT. The episode page and the PDF are one day apart. The page says the episode is 15 minutes and 28 seconds. The script cites a Gallup poll. The Gallup page was not opened, so the figure is not repeated here.

Grant Aguirre, identified by Hopkin as the owner, sits down at Sunday breakfast with murder-mystery guests. He says the home was built in 1907 by Frederick Edward Houghton, who came with the land run of 1889. He says Houghton had the first cotton gin in Oklahoma, the first car dealership, and mercantile stores in Guthrie and Enid. Hopkin's narration says it cost almost 12 grand and was the most expensive house in Guthrie, three stories plus a basement, almost 5,000 square feet. Aguirre says the Houghtons had 12 children and "the only one to not survive childhood was a little girl named Irene." He says she contracted whooping cough, that opium was in the cough syrup, and that her nanny, who was also the upstairs housekeeper, kept giving her more until she died in that room. He says people on the second floor experience a little girl coming in and patting them on the cheek in the middle of the night. Hopkin's next sentence is her own: OKPRI, who do historical research on properties they investigate, "were unable to verify the existence of this little girl or her passing in any of the official records that they looked at."

Aguirre says that in 1910 the capitol moved from Guthrie to Oklahoma City, the family moved to Enid, and they leased the home to the Gooch Smith family, who turned it into a funeral parlor. He points at a table and calls it the embalming table. Hopkin says that table was being used to serve the breakfast. The KGOU photo captions on the episode page include "The embalming table in the Stone Lion Inn" and "A crib in the Stone Lion Inn." The captions do not name Irene.

Hopkin narrates that Grant told her he does not believe in ghosts and that he can find rational explanations, including an older building with a lot of wood. His brother, Ral Mazza, reached by phone, says, "I struggle with it because I'm a pretty rational person but I will tell you that growing up in that house, there were just a lot of eerie things that were happening." He describes a third-floor toy closet where things moved after a lock was put on the door. He says, "We had numerous guests feeling like they felt something in the house or saw a ghost. I never saw anything but certainly if I was home alone, you'd hear someone going up and down the stairs." Asked if he can accept it as a haunting, he says, "Do I think it's haunted? I don't know." The transcript then prints, "There's some really weird shit [bleeped] that happened in that house, there really are." The bracketed bleep is the transcript's.

Michelle Smith, "one of those ladies" who "worked at the Stone Lion Inn for more than a quarter century," says she would hear people walking up the stairs and come out and see nobody. She says, "I really watched a lady walk through the door and the door was closed." She says she could see a dress go by, and that whispering got so loud she would blast the TV. She says Grant and Ral's mother, Rebecca Luker, asked her to stay over with the guests. Hopkin's script uses "who's" for Luker. Smith says one night something got in the bed, she scooted over, it scooted over, and she covered her head. She says she dreamed she went to the basement and poured a bucket of water, and in the morning "it was a puddle of water with a bucket." She says, "you can't ever ask me to stay here again." She says she will not. She says, "It had to be the little girl, because I really wasn't threatened, but I was uncomfortable."

Christy Powell, identified as founder and director of OKPRI, says, "I will stand by this saying that the Stone Lion Inn is one of the most haunted locations within Oklahoma." She says, "You can't pay me enough to spend the night by myself in the Stone Lion Inn." She says, "I have seen a little girl there, a little brown headed girl," who likes tea sets, bounces a ball, and giggles. She says a man she calls Edward, in a gray suit, said "boo," and that he told her he loved cigars, smoked a lot, and died of lung cancer, and that he "came in when the Stone Lion Inn was a funeral home." She names Elizabeth, a dark-headed woman with "some sort of loss of a child," and Sarah, "an older woman," "snotty," "a caretaker," who "did die from, it felt like, natural causes" and "was brought in at the time that it was a funeral home." Powell also describes a basement recording. An investigator missed a step, landed on a water pipe, and broke it. Powell says the playback has a woman's voice saying, "calm down, bitch." Hopkin plays it twice and says, "Make of that what you will." Powell's little girl and Hopkin's note that OKPRI could not verify Irene are both in the same transcript. They are not the same sentence.

A Smith-Gallo funeral-home obituary, opened in October 2026, is for Rebecca Sue Luker-Mazza, October 31, 1949, to February 1, 2024. It says that in 1986 she moved her sons to Guthrie and "started the first bed and breakfast in Oklahoma, The Stone Lion Inn," and that she began writing and producing the murder-mystery weekends. It says the business "has been featured on CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and the London Daily Times, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, and many others." Those are titles on the obituary. This draft did not open those broadcasts, and a show title is not a finding. The obituary says she "continued to run and grow her business from one inn to multiple inns until her death on February 1, 2024." It names surviving sons Grant Aguirre, II, and Ral James Mazza, Jr. It prints "Ral's finance," not fiancée. Hopkin's October 28, 2025, script still uses "who's" for Rebecca Luker and calls Grant the owner at the breakfast table. The obituary's death date and the script's present tense are not the same account of who is in the house. The obituary does not print Irene, a deadbolt, or a room number. TravelOK's six-room listing does not print "multiple inns."

Visit: 1016 W Warner Ave, Guthrie, OK 73044, on the TravelOK line. (405) 282-0012. TravelOK listing. The inn's own pages that opened did not print hours. TravelOK, checked in October 2026: Friday and Saturday murder mystery, up to 40 guests, four hours, seven-course dinner, no clock and no price. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. Irene is Aguirre, via Hopkin, KGOU, October 28, 2025, and the same script says OKPRI could not verify her. Powell's girl, Edward, Elizabeth, and Sarah are Powell in that transcript. Luker's death date is the Smith-Gallo obituary, February 1, 2024.

Skirvin, Oklahoma City

The Skirvin will rent you a room in downtown Oklahoma City. Its own homepage, read in October 2026, does not print Effie, the word ghost, or the word haunt. Brianna Bailey's Journal Record story of October 20, 2011, has the director of sales and marketing saying the hotel's policy is not to participate in anything referencing ghosts. The same story prints the Effie tale and then prints people who say it has not been documented.

The homepage prints "One Park Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102" twice, once as plain text and once as a maps link. Another block says, "Skirvin is right in the heart of Oklahoma City, just off Park Avenue and Broadway." That sentence does not print a street number. "One Park Ave" and "just off Park Avenue" are both on the page. The only phone in the saved homepage is 405-702-8547, and the link target is tel:4057028547. That target is the ten digits with no plus and no country code. The visit line below uses the printed digits with an ordinary +1 link. It does not use tel:4057028547.

A meta tag on that homepage prints dateModified 2026-10-02T15:03:04+00:00, which is 10:03 a.m. Central on October 2, 2026. Another tag prints datePublished 2024-01-25T22:12:05+00:00, which is 4:12 p.m. Central on January 25, 2024. The visible copy says, "Since 1911." It names Perle Mesta, "with James Beard award-winning Chef Black at the helm," and the Red Piano Lounge on the first floor, "crafted cocktails, refined bites, and live music." It says the hotel has 18,500 square feet of event space and an on-site gallery or artifact museum. It says guests have found themselves "at the center of its spirited future." Spirited, in that sentence, is the marketing line. It is not a ghost. A later line says the dining room "captures the spirit of our namesake, W.B. Skirvin's daughter." Spirit, in that sentence, is Perle Mesta's namesake line. It is not Effie.

The only clock I found on the homepage is inside a romance offer: "the luxury of a 2 p.m. late checkout," "Must be reserved at least 48 hours in advance. 72-hour cancellation policy applies," plus a $50 dining credit at the Red Piano Lounge and discounted parking. That 2 p.m. line is the package. The page does not print an ordinary check-in time next to it. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. The homepage does not print a Sunday closure.

Bailey's story is "Skirvin spurns specters: Hotel downplays ghost stories." The byline is Brianna Bailey, October 20, 2011. The schema datePublished is 2011-10-21T00:37:11+00:00, which is 7:37 p.m. Central on October 20, 2011. The schema dateModified is 2011-10-21T02:30:19+00:00, which is 9:30 p.m. Central on October 20. The calendar day in Central time is October 20. The UTC date on the tag is October 21.

Steve Houser, "the hotel's director of sales and marketing," said, "We don't really participate in anything referencing ghosts – that's just our policy." He said, "As amusing and whimsical as it is for some people, it just loses business for you." The story says a centennial exhibit on the second floor had menus and photographs and "no mention of any of the ghost stories." Cable psychic Chip Coffey, named from Psychic Kids and Paranormal State, "criticized Skirvin management" after the hotel "allegedly canceled" a February appearance. Coffey's posted letter, quoted by Bailey, says, "You may not support, promote or even acknowledge any paranormal stories involving the Skirvin, but the fact is, they exist." Houser said Coffey began promoting the event before signing a contract. Coffey hosted the event at the Oklahoma City Zoo in May. The 2026 homepage does not mention Houser, Coffey, or the zoo.

Bailey's next paragraph is the tale, in her voice: "The story of Effie, a hotel maid who jumped to her death from a 10th-story window clutching a baby she had out of wedlock with hotel founder W.B. Skirvin, has dogged the hotel for decades, even though nobody has ever been able to document it through historical records." She writes that male guests "have reported seeing visions of a female apparition who tries to seduce them" and that others "have reported hearing a ghostly baby crying." She writes that several New York Knicks "told the New York Daily News last year" they had trouble sleeping at the Skirvin. I did not open the Daily News. The Knicks sentence is Bailey's. She quotes ESPN.com columnist Bill Simmons from a December 2010 column she says he wrote: "I kept the lights on," and "I came to Oklahoma City for Durant and Westbrook and left telling stories about Effie's baby." I did not open the ESPN column. The sentences are what Bailey's story prints.

Marilyn A. Hudson, "local historian and author," "believes the tale is based on a well-known Oklahoma City courtesan named Effie Fisher, who was shot and killed by a male acquaintance downtown around the time the Skirvin was under construction." Bailey writes that Fisher died in 1903 after Ed Filson shot her through a sitting-room window with a double-barreled shotgun, "according to historical newspaper accounts." I did not open those newspaper accounts. Hudson said, "The ghost has a tendency to really want to bother guys," and "It doesn't sound like a nice, plain, working-girl maid." She said, "There may have been some confusion of the stories, but when you have a good ghost story, you never want to let the truth get in the way." A maid who jumps in the 1910s and a woman shot in 1903 are not the same death. Bailey prints both and does not merge them.

Tonya Hacker, of Ghost Haunts of Oklahoma & Urban Legend Investigation, or GHOULI, investigated "before it was renovated and reopened under the Hilton brand in 2007." Hacker "claims to have spoken with a local woman who told her she was related to the legendary Effie, an African-American hotel maid." Hacker "has since misplaced the woman's name and said she was never able to verify her story." Hacker said, "I am still not able to historically document this story. There is a lot of speculation involved, even today," and "Did it happen? Not sure, but the story is a very sad one." Bailey writes that the team "found no evidence of Effie or her baby." Hacker advises guests to "book a room on the west end of the fifth floor of the building – that's where GHOULI investigators experienced the most paranormal activity." The Effie tale in the same article is a 10th-story window. The fifth floor and the 10th story are not the same floor. Hacker said the management "is not open to speaking about their haunting tales," and that "whatever is there is more prone to show up when people are just acting like happy guests." The Oklahoman columns by Steve Lackmeyer that came up in search returned an access-restricted notice. They are not quoted here. A KFOR page returned 403. A News 9 page opened and did not render the article body past the navigation, so that story's quotes are not here either.

Visit: One Park Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, the line the homepage prints twice. The "just off Park Avenue and Broadway" line does not give a number. (405) 702-8547. The site link for those digits points at tel:4057028547. skirvinhilton.com. The homepage, checked in October 2026, does not print a front-desk clock. A romance offer prints a 2 p.m. late checkout if you reserve 48 hours ahead. Effie is Bailey, Journal Record, October 20, 2011, and she writes that nobody has documented it. Houser's policy is the same story. Hudson's Effie Fisher is 1903 in that story. Hacker's floor is the fifth, west end. The 2026 homepage does not print any of them.

Cain's Ballroom, Tulsa

Cain's will sell you a ticket on a show night, and the box office page says the window is open Wednesday and Friday. Teri French told KJRH, in a story dated October 28, 2021, that she heard a woman crying behind the stage and that a bartender saw a woman in a ballgown. David Ward told Oklahoma Magazine, in a story dated September 26, 2022, that a recording said "I wanna help." The Cain's pages read in October 2026 do not print either sentence.

The contact page prints "423 North Main Street, Tulsa, OK 74103" and "You can also call us when the box office is open: 918.584.2306." The dots are the page's. The footer prints "423 NORTH MAIN STREET ● TULSA, OK 74103 ● 918.584.2306" and "©2021." A schema string in the saved homepage uses 918-584-2306. Those are the same ten digits. I did not find a tel: link on the contact page or the homepage. Email on the contact page is info@cainsballroom.com. The best-contact line says email first, and the phone is for when the box office is open.

The box office page says, "We are currently open Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am – 5pm." It accepts cash and major credit cards. "No checks." "The box office opens ~30 minutes before doors, but this time can vary." The tilde is the page's. "As of January 13, 2021, each ticket purchased at the box office has a $1 fee." That date is still on the page in October 2026. The homepage banner repeats Wednesday and Friday, 10am – 5pm, and "~30 minutes before doors on show nights."

October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. It is not a Wednesday or a Friday, so the 10-to-5 line does not cover it. The homepage show list I read does not put a show on October 4. The dates it does print, in October 2026, include Wednesday, October 7, doors 5:30 p.m.; Friday, October 9, doors 7 p.m.; Saturday, October 10, doors 6:30 p.m.; Monday, October 12, doors 6:30 p.m.; Friday, October 16, doors 7:30 p.m.; Friday, October 23, doors 7 p.m.; Sunday, October 25, doors 7 p.m.; Friday, October 30, doors 7 p.m. Saturday, October 31, is "Tulsa Halloween Tradition," "Private Party," "INVITE ONLY." The public door on the list is a show night. October 4 is not one of those nights.

Justin Fischer, KJRH, is the byline on "Tulsa's Famous Haunts: Cain's Ballroom." The article:published_time tag is 2021-10-28T22:00:58.65, with no zone printed on that tag. The parsely date is 2021-10-28T18:00:58-0400, which is 5:00 p.m. Central on October 28, 2021. The article:modified_time tag is 2022-10-22T19:07:27.213, again with no zone. October 28, 2021, was a Thursday. Teri French, "owner of Tulsa Spirit Tours," is the named speaker. She says, "That's the old Bob Wills stage underneath there." She says that in the old restroom behind the stage she heard a woman "crying, moaning and sobbing," asked if she was okay, and found she was by herself. She tells of a man in early 1900s cowboy clothes asking for "$ .10 popcorn." The space after the dollar sign is the page's. "The venue has not had that since the early 20th century." The same night, she says, "A young lady, working behind this bar, saw a woman standing right here transparent. In a ballgown. She could see right through her." French says, "So, we're not sure if that's the 80-year-old woman that used to live here." The woman is not given a name. French says a recording she caught "says 'I want to help' in the voice of a young girl." She believes that is what it says. The story does not name the Cain's employee who saw the ballgown. The same story then leaves the ballroom and quotes French on the Gilcrease house. That house is not this door.

John Wooley, Oklahoma Magazine, September 26, 2022, is "Hosting a Ghost or Two." He separates "metaphorical ghosts" from what he calls literal ones. The metaphorical paragraph prints "younger spirts," with no second i. David Standingwater, "a longtime Cain's bartender," says he first saw what bar manager David Ward calls the Phantom Cowboy around 2006 or 2007. Standingwater describes a silhouette in a jacket and a hat, "leaning against the bar," that "evaporated" when he looked straight at it. He says it reminded him of the picture of Hank Williams Sr. on the wall. He says a red couch "is rumored" to be one Hank Sr. fell asleep on. Wooley writes, "That rumor is likely true," and that the one time Williams was booked he "was unable to perform for any length of time … reportedly due to his overconsumption of Choc beer." Reportedly is Wooley's. Standingwater's "I guess it's in my nature" paragraph ends with, "I'm not necessarily sold on the ghost thing," and "I believe something's going on out there. I'm just not sure exactly what it is."

Ward says a tile worker told Chad Rodgers, "Cain's co-owner," that there was a "phantom cowboy" upstairs, and that the worker would not come back. Ward says the Paranormal Investigation Team of Tulsa, PITT, sent a file. He and co-owner Hunter Rodgers listened during a show and Ward "didn't hear a thing." Weeks later, at home, he heard a child's voice: "It said 'I wanna help.'" Staff told him the voice came from the northwest corner. A lecturer at a private event said that in Bob Wills's days parents left children on cots along the walls, including the northwest corner. Ward says, "I knew, when I heard that story, my ghost was real." He says PITT told him such ghosts are "residual" and "leftovers." The story does not name the PITT speaker or the lecturer. French's "I want to help" and Ward's "I wanna help" are not the same recording on the same page. French's story does not mention Ward, PITT, or Hank Williams. Wooley's story does not mention French, a ballgown, or ten-cent popcorn. The 2026 Cain's pages I read do not print any of those names.

Wooley also writes that the "modern era" began "48 years ago this month," in a story dated September 26, 2022, when R.C. Bradley and Jim Edwards booked a Halloween show, and then he dates that show to "Halloween night 1974." September 2022 and Halloween 1974 are both in the story. "This month" and "Halloween night" are not the same month. He says Bob Wills made Cain's his base in 1935. The Cain's homepage I read does not print 1935 or 1974.

Visit: 423 North Main Street, Tulsa, OK 74103. (918) 584-2306. The contact line prints 918.584.2306. A schema string prints 918-584-2306. Same ten digits. No tel: link was on the pages I saved. cainsballroom.com. Box office, checked in October 2026: Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and about 30 minutes before doors on show nights. A $1 box-office fee is still dated January 13, 2021. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday and is not on the show list I read. French's crying woman and "I want to help" are KJRH, October 28, 2021, Justin Fischer. Ward's "I wanna help" and Standingwater's cowboy are Oklahoma Magazine, September 26, 2022, John Wooley. The Cain's pages do not print them.

The Ritz Theater, Shawnee

The Ritz will sell you a ticket when a performance is on. Dell Kerbs told KOCO, in a story dated July 16, 2024, that if you are in the building with one or two people you can hear singing or footsteps on the stage. He does not name the singer. A TravelOK listing, read in October 2026, names a projectionist and a woman the KOCO story does not name.

The theater site prints "10 W Main St, Shawnee, OK 74801" and (405) 432-1810 is how the digits should be dialed. The site's own link points at tel:4054321810. That target is the same ten digits with no plus and no country code. The visit line below uses the printed number with an ordinary +1 link. It does not use tel:4054321810. TravelOK prints the same street and the same phone, 405-432-1810. The footer on the theater site says ©2025.

The homepage HTML that saved did not list an October 2026 show. The events that came through as text were "Travis Ledoyt, January 8, 2022" and "Talk Of The Town - A Night Of Swing, August 15, 2020." TravelOK's hours line says, "Hours vary by performance." The pricing line says, "Varies by events." October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. Neither page puts a Sunday door on that date. TravelOK says the building "remains open today" as a venue "throughout the year." That sentence does not print a clock.

Andy Weber, KOCO, is the byline on "'The Ritz is back': Despite haunted tales, Ritz Theater is point of pride for Shawnee." The article:published_time is 2024-07-16T23:20:00Z, which is 6:20 p.m. Central on July 16, 2024. The visible line says "Updated: 6:20 PM CDT Jul 16, 2024." The article:modified_time is 2025-12-11T13:09:25.833Z, which is 7:09 a.m. Central on December 11, 2025. The story says the hall "once served as Shawnee's premiere movie theater," that "the former silver screen now seats 274," and that it "puts on live concerts."

Dell Kerbs, "president of the organization that owns the theater," is the named speaker. Weber says the owners took KOCO inside "about eight months after a fire next door" that caused smoke and water damage. Kerbs says, "Those pictures just tell a horror story that happened that morning in October." Eight months before July 16, 2024, is not October. October and "eight months" are both in the story. They are not the same date. Kerbs says, "The Ritz itself sustained heavy water and smoke damage," and that they went through insurance "to save the Ritz instead of demolishing the Ritz." Weber writes, "By June 2o24, the concert hall … was back open." The character between 2 and 4 is the letter o. Kerbs says, "There's still some dust around. There's still a few things that need to happen, but the Ritz is back."

Weber then writes, "When the Ritz isn't attracting music fans or big names, it's rumored to be home to several spirits." Kerbs says, "Well, I'm not one to discredit because there is a lot of activity in this building, I should say. If you're here by yourself or just a couple of people, you could be working up there, and you'll hear singing, or you'll hear footsteps on the stage." Weber's next sentence is "According to the legends." A projectionist "died while showing a movie." "Another woman died while staying in the hotel upstairs, the part of the building that now serves as storage." The legends paragraph does not give the projectionist a name or the woman a name. Kerbs says, "I don't discredit it. I don't credit it. I just don't ask any questions. If somebody's singing, I let them sing away." He says, "For the most part," those spirits "behave." The story's weekend show, "Another Pink in the Floyd," has doors at 7 p.m. Saturday. It does not print the Saturday's calendar date. That 7 p.m. line is one show in the story. It is not a standing hour.

TravelOK's listing, which opened, tells a different set of names. It says the building "was originally built in 1897 as a dry good store and later served as a boarding house," "opened as a theater in 1913," and "officially became The Ritz in 1926 after several years of being known as The Cozy Theater." Dry good is the spelling. It says, "One of Oklahoma's oldest operating theaters, The Ritz is no stranger to ghost tales and haunting stories. Many believe The Ritz is haunted by the ghost of one of the theater's early projectionists. Leo Montgomery worked in the projector box in the early 1900s and lived in the apartment above the theater. One day, when a movie reel kept spinning even after the film ended, it was discovered Leo had died tragically of a heart attack during the show." It then says flickering lights and strange voices are tied to "former boarding house residents," and "One in particular is a ghost named Amelia, who is said to have caught pneumonia and died in the boarding house." "Is said" does not name the speaker. KOCO's "hotel upstairs" and TravelOK's "boarding house" and "apartment above the theater" are not the same room label. KOCO does not print Leo Montgomery or Amelia. TravelOK does not print Kerbs, the seat count 274, or the fire. The theater homepage I saved does not print Leo, Amelia, or a ghost.

Visit: 10 W Main St, Shawnee, OK 74801. (405) 432-1810. The site link points at tel:4054321810. ritzshawnee.com. TravelOK hours, checked in October 2026: "Hours vary by performance." October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, and neither page lists a show that day. Kerbs's singing and footsteps are KOCO, July 16, 2024, Andy Weber. The unnamed projectionist and the unnamed woman are that story's "legends." Leo Montgomery and Amelia are the TravelOK listing, which does not name who says Amelia died. The homepage events that rendered were 2020 and 2022.

The inn pages that opened did not get past a loading line or a one-line credit. TravelOK prints Friday and Saturday murder mysteries, up to 40 guests, four hours, seven courses, and no clock. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. Irene, the cheek-pat, and the embalming table used for breakfast are Grant Aguirre, via Rachel Hopkin, KGOU, October 28, 2025, at 2:32 a.m. CDT. The transcript PDF is dated the day before. The same script says OKPRI could not verify Irene, and then Christy Powell says she has seen a little brown-headed girl, plus Edward, Elizabeth, and Sarah. Michelle Smith says she will not stay the night. Ral Mazza says he does not know if it is haunted. Rebecca Luker-Mazza's obituary says she died February 1, 2024, and that she ran the business until then. Hopkin's 2025 script still uses "who's" and calls Grant the owner. The obituary prints "finance" and "multiple inns" and "London Daily Times." TravelOK prints six rooms and one address. The Skirvin is (405) 702-8547, at One Park Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102. The link on the site is tel:4057028547. A second line says the hotel is just off Park Avenue and Broadway and does not give the number. The homepage, with a modified tag of October 2, 2026, 10:03 a.m. Central, prints "spirited future" and the spirit of W.B. Skirvin's daughter. It does not print Effie or ghost. The only clock I found is a 2 p.m. late checkout inside a romance offer. Houser's "we don't really participate" is Brianna Bailey, Journal Record, October 20, 2011, 7:37 p.m. Central on the schema. Bailey's Effie jumps from the 10th story and has not been documented. Hudson's Effie Fisher is shot in 1903. Hacker's activity is the west end of the fifth floor, and she says she misplaced the relative's name. Lackmeyer's Oklahoman pages, a KFOR page, and the News 9 body did not open. Cain's is (918) 584-2306, at 423 North Main Street, Tulsa, OK 74103. The contact line uses dots. A schema string uses a dash. Box office Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., plus about 30 minutes before doors, and a $1 fee still dated January 13, 2021. October 4 is a Sunday and is not on the show list. October 31 is invite-only. French's crying woman, the ballgown, the ten-cent popcorn, and "I want to help" are KJRH, October 28, 2021, Justin Fischer, and the page prints two clocks for that publication. Ward's "I wanna help," Standingwater's cowboy, and the Hank Williams couch are Oklahoma Magazine, September 26, 2022, John Wooley. "This month" in that September story and "Halloween night 1974" are both printed. The Cain's pages do not print the ghosts. The Ritz is (405) 432-1810, at 10 W Main St, Shawnee, OK 74801. The site link is tel:4054321810. TravelOK says hours vary by performance. The homepage events that rendered were August 15, 2020, and January 8, 2022. Kerbs's singing and footsteps, the 274 seats, and the fire are KOCO, July 16, 2024, Andy Weber, modified December 11, 2025. "That morning in October" and "eight months" before the July story do not land on the same month. The page prints "June 2o24." Leo Montgomery and Amelia are TravelOK, not KOCO. "Hotel upstairs," "boarding house," and "apartment" are three labels for the upper floor.

If a guide adds a ghost this research did not find on the venue's site or in the news pieces cited below, enjoy it as a story and leave it there.

These four doors are not in one town. Compact binoculars and an Oklahoma road atlas are the practical extras if you are driving between them.
