Haunted Hotel?



If you’re headed to Milwaukee, you may want to steer clear of the Pfister Hotel because apparently it’s haunted! (Unless you're into such things and in that case you can book your trip here) Thank goodness I didn’t book that place for my summer trip to Wisconsin. Turns out the hotel, which is usually the landing spot for many baseball and basketball teams who are in town for a game or series, has scared even the toughest of players.

“A player for the Dodgers has been known to sleep with a baseball bat for protection after hearing odd noises. And two pairs of Florida Marlins players reportedly demand to share a room when they're in Milwaukee because they're afraid of ghosts.”

Many guests have reported seeing hotel founder Charles Pfister looking over the lobby from atop the grand staircases. Good to know he is still concerned with his hotel even though he lying horizontally in a casket six feet under.

According to the hotel manager, the 100 year old building certainly suffers from the usual squeaks and creaks but after a multimillion dollar renovation, the hotel does not appear to have any signs of spirits floating around. You can’t just get rid of them with a carpet to ceiling remodel. You need an exorcist.
