And it's haunted.
According to HauntedUS.com, the list of paranormal occurrences at the Pfister include electronic devices, such as TVs and radios, turning on and off without warning; sounds of mysterious footsteps; apparition sightings in hallways; knockings that cannot be accounted for; and even objects moving around.
The hotel also spooks a lot of visiting Major League Baseball players when they stay in Milwaukee for games against the Brewers. Some players even refuse to stay there again.
In a Halloween 2021 article on MLB.com, Michael Clair details some of the stories that baseball players (by definition a superstitious lot) say they have experienced at the Pfister. You should go read the whole article. But, for an appetizer, here's the story about the Philadelphia Phillies' Bryce Harper, from his days as a member of the Washington Nationals:
"While staying in the Pfister in 2012, Harper had laid out his shirt and pants on a table by the end of the bed before going to sleep for the night."'When I woke up in the morning — I swear on everything — the clothes were on the floor and the table was on the opposite side of the room against the wall, Harper said. "I was so flustered. I honestly thought there might be someone in my room. I had no idea what the hell just happened, so I actually looked around, and then I checked to see if the door was still latched, and it was.'"Harper thought that perhaps it was a prank from a teammate, but no one came forward. The slugger then requested to be moved to a different room."
(Hopefully they didn't move him to 237 or 1408.)
