Because the place is basically Oklahoma's equivalent to the hotel from The Shining, a luxury hotel whose permanent residents include eternally crying babies, a ghost that likes to grope people in the shower, spirits that slam doors, and the ghost of the original owner's mistress, who allegedly died along with his illegitimate child... and who still walks the halls with a stroller. It's so prevalent that even the toughest of NBA players -- who stay at the posh hotel when in OKC -- often find themselves seeking alternate accommodations. And that's before the bedbugs start biting. The place was built in 1911, and shortly thereafter original owner Fred Scheruble was shot to death, but not before allegedly impregnating a maid who perished on the 10th floor. It's been downhill from there... even a renovation in the early '90s didn't scrub the supernatural from the most haunted hotel in Oklahoma.
