The Creepy Story Behind This Popular Milwaukee Hotel Will Give You Chills

This world-class hotel in Milwaukee is an absolutely stunning place to stay, but there have been quite a few paranormal sightings over the decades. From shadowy figures to voices in the halls, there are plenty of accounts of spooky activity. This time of year is the perfect time to hear the creepy story behind this popular hotel!

The Pfister Hotel, Milwaukee's most elegant hotel, has a creepy past and present.

The Pfister hotel was founded by Charles Pfister after his father, a German immigrant named Guido Pfister, had the idea to create a "People’s Palace" in which all people could gather together.

The luxurious hotel completed its construction in 1893.

The three-story grand lobby was indeed an elegant gathering place for all. Though the hotel is welcoming to everyday people, it’s housed many great presidents, prime ministers, famous athletes, and celebrities as guests.

During their stay, many of these guests have reported some scary sightings.

This is especially true for baseball players! A few famous MLB players have been spooked pretty bad. They’ve heard knocking on their headboards, voices in the hallways, and one even reported their iPod mysteriously turning on and vibrating across a table. They were so scared that they began sleeping with their bats!

If you look up at the grand staircase, you may spot the ghost of Charles Pfister himself.

The ghost of the owner is known to watch over his palace. It’s rumored that he can be seen all over the hotel, from the staircases to the rooms, watching out for his guests, so you might want to sleep with one eye open!

This spooky spot might have a creepy history, but it's still a great place to stay.

Though The Pfister is known for it's paranormal sightings, it's still a world-class hotel and provides the best hospitality around. From the chocolate on the pillows, to the exceptional service, this is an incredible hotel—and you might even get a ghost story to write home about!
