Opened in 1893, the Pfister Hotel’s haunting reputation exploded after multiple Major League Baseball players independently reported activity while staying there. The spirit most often identified is that of Charles Pfister, the hotel’s original owner, described as a well-dressed Victorian man seen in hallways and reflected in mirrors. Players have publicly described radios turning on at full volume, lights flickering, doors opening, and objects moving, with some claiming they were touched or shaken awake during the night. The consistency of reports from unrelated teams — including players openly speaking about it in interviews — transformed the Pfister from a local legend into one of America’s most publicly discussed “celebrity-haunted” hotels.
