Is famous Milwaukee hotel haunted? MLB players have been spooked for decades

Is the Pfister Hotel really haunted? Many MLB players prefer to stay elsewhere and not find out.

The Pfister Hotel, a renowned landmark in Milwaukee, has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the city. Major League Baseball players who stay overnight at the hotel often report eerie experiences that keep them from getting a good night's sleep. From knocking at their doors to lights flickering and objects moving on their own, the hotel has a long history of spooking its guests.

The hotel, which opened in 1893, has seen countless reports of paranormal activity over the years. Players like Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, and Bryce Harper have all had their own encounters with the hotel's ghostly inhabitants. Betts even chose to stay elsewhere for the National League Championship Series, while Muncy claimed that if there is a ghost in the hotel, he welcomes it. Harper, on the other hand, said he woke up to find his clothes on the floor and his table moved to the other side of the room.

The Pfister Hotel's reputation for being haunted has earned it a place in the hearts (and nightmares) of many MLB players. Despite the spooky experiences, some players like Pedro Álvarez and Jon Gray seem to embrace the hotel's ghostly reputation, while others like Bryce Harper refuse to stay overnight at the hotel. With a history spanning over a century, the Pfister Hotel continues to be a source of intrigue and mystery for MLB players.
