I mentioned in the rant/vent thread that due to my mother's indecision, all the hotels in Norman (except for one $100+ option that is in the boonies) are booked for the OU game we are planning on going to with my whole family.
Luckily for my mom, the University somehow found and comped my parents a hotel room in Norman along with 3 football tickets as this counts as my brother's "official visit." How nice for them.
So DH and I had a choice of sharing a room with my parents and a sibling or two (no thanks), staying with my brother and his roommate in their tiny apartment (again, no thanks), or trying our luck in OKC. I have had great luck with Priceline in the past, so I was hoping we could get a good deal. I put in a bid of $55 and got arguably one of the nicest hotels in OKC, the Skirvin Hilton...sweet! So I went off to Google it and noticed the second Google result is "Skirvin Hotel Haunted."
I don't do haunted hotels. I actively avoid them. I cannot watch horror movies and I always have been and always will be a complete weenie. I freely admit it. It's just who I am. I don't know really know what I believe about ghosts, etc. but the knowledge of any haunted rumors or tragic happenings is enough to make me uncomfortable enough to not want to stay overnight in a place.
If it were your typical "lights flickering" "used to be a hospital" thing I could probably get over it. This particular story involves a young woman who jumped out of the window with her baby. Supposedly people hear the baby crying or her screaming and she likes to show up in your room or your bathroom while you're taking a shower. That just unnerves me as someone who is currently pregnant.

Apparently it freaked out the New York Knicks enough

Too bad Priceline.com doesn't have a "Haunted Hotel & Weenies" clause.
