The Skirvin Hilton is one of the most famous and now infamous hotels in the Sooner State. A maid named Effie and her baby are rumored to have fallen to their deaths from the tenth floor.
It was a window just like this one where the alleged incident happened. According to rumor, Effie was locked up and became so emotionally distraught that she threw herself and the newborn baby out the window to their deaths.
Effie has been known to roam the halls all throughout the hotel and cause restless nights. Even some pro athletes have been frightened enough to share rooms with others out of fear of the ghosts.
