Residents of Oklahoma City may already know of the Skirvin crying baby legend. For those of you who don’t, here is the scoop. A hotel constructed in the early 1900′s during the prohibition era is said to be haunted by the ghost of a crying baby and the baby’s mother Effie.
W.B. Skirvin, a wealthy oil tycoon founded the Skirvin hotel in 1910. The ten story hotel was one of the most elaborate places to stay in the area at the time. It boasted high dollar light fixtures, bedding, and even air conditioning.
