The Skirvin Hotel's 'Effie'

In January 2010 several New York Knicks players said they slept badly at Oklahoma City's Skirvin Hilton because of the ghost of 'Effie', said to be a maid who had an affair with founder W. B. Skirvin.

The account

The story got national coverage before the Knicks lost to the Thunder.

The sceptical view

There is no record of Effie; the story is hotel folklore.
