The Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City is rumored to be haunted, primarily by the spirit of a maid named Effie who became pregnant by the hotel's owner, WB Skirvin, and died after jumping from the 10th floor with her baby. Guests report a range of paranormal activity, including disembodied voices and laughter, objects moving on their own, and doors opening or closing unexpectedly. The 10th floor is considered a hotspot for these occurrences. The central story involves the hotel's founder, William Skirvin, and a maid named Effie. When Effie became pregnant, Skirvin allegedly locked her away in a room on the 10th floor to hide the scandal. Overwhelmed by despair, Effie jumped from the window with her child, dying as a result. Her spirit is said to linger in the hotel, particularly on the 10th floor, and is known to interact with guests. Guests have reported hearing crying babies, disembodied laughter, whispers, and sounds of footsteps. Items are said to move or disappear, and furniture can shift on its own. Elevators have been known to malfunction, opening and closing doors without activation, and closet doors may slam shut unexpectedly. Some visitors have reported feeling touched by unseen presences.
