-LAWTON
Moneka Mall and Tea Room

A gray wood-frame house is haunted by the presence of a robber killed in the dining room. The large house was constructed in 1892 and served as a Rock Island Railroad boarding house for many years. During that period, a robber broke into the house during suppertime and demanded everyone's money. The burly railroad men got the upper hand, and the would-be thief died in ensuing struggle. Not wanting to get into trouble with the authorities, the men loaded the body onto a northbound train, where it was later found by strangers and buried in an unmarked grave. Today, the robber's specter and other ghosts from the building's colorful past haunt the rooms along the east and north sides, upstairs and down. The sightings became more frequent when Nancy War remodeled it into an antique shop with a small tea room restaurant.

The site is located in the town of Waurika, which is fifty-three miles southeast of Lawton. Take Highway 7 to Pumpkin Center, then go south on Highway 65 to Highway 70 east. Moneka Mall and Tea Room, Highway 70 East, Waurika, OK 73573. Phone: 405-228-2575

Evidence of a sophisticated ancient civilization was found here in June 1967. Road workers discovered a buried mosaic floor, about three feet below ground, that covered several thousand square feet.
