Ghosts throw a curve ball to professional ball players.


Don't think ghosts have a sense of humor? Well, at the Pfister Hotel, the ghosts get a kick out of scaring the professional ballplayers, who have come to town to play a game.

Located in downtown Milwaukee, looms this impressive masterpiece, founded by Charles Pfister and his father, Guido in 1893. Breathtakingly beautiful, it simply must be seen, as words will not do it justice. The grand 116 year old structure, has cared for every President since William McKinley. Ornate with attention to detail, the Pfister has an extensive world class, Victorian, art collection.
I would LOVE to ghost hunt here, as inside this palace is an array of restaurants, salons, and lounges that tantalize every sense. Inside the Pfister you will find.......................
*Blu-Lounge

*Spa & Salon

*Main St. Grill

*The Cafe

*The Rouge- Champagne brunch.

*Lobby Lounge- Cocktails.

So.......all this magnificence AND it's haunted?......... YES!
What a way to get your ghostly thrills!

The recent uproar over the very active ghosts at the Pfister, have to do with a Major League baseball team,...The Minnesota Twins.

The Outfielder for the Twins, Carlos Gomez, was hearing the phantoms speak while in his room, sending fingers of fear down his spine. As the eerie moments seem to slip past, Carlos's ipod became a source of amusement for the specter. The ipod started to play music on it's own....then switch to static......then back to music...and finally back to static. I am sure Carlos was holding his breath in this Twilight Zone moment, however adrenaline finally took over and Carlos was seen running through the hotel, down to the lobby................. even though he was only partially dressed!

The next visit to the Pfister Hotel, Carlos decided he was not sleeping alone and brought a roommate named Erancisco Liriano, who also plays for the Minnesota Twins.
The following is a direct quote from Carlos, "Everything's scary.........EVERYTHING in the hotel.............the paintings and the pictures, it's a lot of old crazy stuff. No good, man. No good."

Many ballplayers have had eerie experiences including San Francisco's .....Pablo Sandoual, ....................St. Louis'....Brendan Ryan,.............and numerous members from the Florida Marlins.


MANY MORE, won't even talk about it!

Phil Rozewiez, the clubhouse manager from the Brewers, recalls one of his players experiences at the Pfister.........

"There was a rookie ball player and he was back in his room and he woke up in the middle of the night and his blinds were open, THE WINDOW WAS OPEN and he was panicked!............so he went into the bathroom, splashed water on his face, came back out and went to bed......shut the blinds, the window. Woke up in the morning..........SAME THING! Slept on the couch in the lobby the next night. Refused to go to his room. Finally, went to a Motel 6 or whatever, up the street and just stayed there."

Allison Jornlin who works for the organization, "Milwaukee Ghosts" and gives Haunted History Tours of Milwaukee, talks about a very specific and frequently seen ghost,.............................. in particular, a portly smiling gentleman who rides up and down in the elevator, ......takes casual walks with his devoted ghost dog,...... and wanders through the hotel hall ways.

The now famous ghost is said to look exactly like Charles Pfister, the founder of this exquisitely opulent and posh hotel. According to those that have seen him, he is still making the rounds, checking the entirety of the hotel, making sure it lives up to it's impeccable image.

Joe Kurth, the hotel general Manager, is sure to take care of our ghost busting friends. Joe can set you up in the hotel's historic wing, IF you want to increase your chances to play with a ghost!

So..............HOW BRAVE ARE YOU?

I bet this place fills up for Halloween..........talk about an elegant and exciting thrill!
