Skirvin Hotel... Haunted?
ESPN (OKLAHOMA CITY) — “Derrick Rose was spooked. He sat at his locker on Monday night listening to what was being said around him and didn’t like what he was hearing. Was the hotel that he and his Chicago Bulls teammates would be staying at in Oklahoma City really … haunted…” reports Nick Friedell for ESPN.
“Some say the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City is haunted – Depending on whom you ask, the answer may very well be yes,” reports Friedell.
“For years, there have been tales floating around that the Skirvin Hilton is haunted by a ghost of a maid who worked at the hotel in the 1930s who leapt to her death with her infant child. A version of the story says the woman jumped after the hotel’s owner, W.B. Skirvin, locked her in a room on the hotel’s top floor. Skirvin supposedly had an affair with the woman and was the father of the baby,” reports Friedell.
“This story gained even more prominence in recent weeks after the New York Knicks blamed a loss to the Thunder on the fact that many members of the team couldn’t get a good night’s sleep at the Skrivin because they were convinced that ghosts were hovering around,” reports Friedell.
