This is totally off topic of my main purpose but thought it would be interesting to post anyway. I am traveling and happen to be staying at Milwaukee’s
Pfister Hotel build in 1890. What a beautiful hotel. Oh, and the history is simple amazing. Many stars like Johnny
Depp stay here. John
Bon Jovi stayed here during last week’s
Summerfest, the world’s biggest music festival (oh there is the common thread to this blog that relates). Also many professional baseball players stay at the hotel. Tonight is the 2009
MLB All Star Game. There has been a lot of press on the hotel as being haunted. The story started specifically because of major league baseball player’s fear of the hotel because it’s haunted????
Well, I find the story itself fascinating but at the same time a bit strange and goofy. I am not a superstitious person, but love to be scared like most. I love a good horror film like the Shinning. There are some strange old nuances about the hotel as they restored the building to its original condition keeping some unusual decor and details from yesteryear like the doors on some of the floors that look like coffins. The doors had a compartment for dry cleaning to be placed that had a separate key so that the hotel staff did not need to knock on the door to deliver the dry cleaning. The lights flicker from time to time. Come on now, the hotel was built in 1890….. Flickering seems to be pretty normal to me considering the old wiring. Am I taking the fun away? Am I a stick in the mud? I’m sorry, just not superstitious. I believe that everything has a reason, unlike the Center Fielder for the Minnesota Twins Carlos Gomez. Here are a couple links to some of the articles in the news regarding what I am writing about :

What do you think? Do you believe in Ghosts? What are your thoughts of all the baseball player’s fears????
