Eddy Curry’s Haunted Hotel Adventure

“Baby Shaq” was known for a lot of things, like not living up to his ambitious nickname and taking out a $570,000 personal loan at an 85% interest rate.

But the 7-footer is also remembered for things he did on the court. Such as when his New York Knicks got blown out by the OKC Thunder because the team hotel was haunted👻

The Place is Legit Haunted

To be fair to Eddy and his teammates, they were staying at Oklahoma City’s Skirvin Hotel. A 14-story, 20th-century art deco property that may be America’s most haunted hotel.

Legend has it that proprietor and adulterer W.B. Skirvin had an affair with one of the hotel maids. Whom he promptly locked away in a room on the top floor of his hotel, lest anyone find out about this improprieties.

The girl soon became depressed by her luxurious plight and soon after giving birth to W.B.’s bastard child, she lept to her death along with the poor infant.

Even though the old hotel closed down in 1988, the place was fully restored in 2004 and shit has been weird ever since.

Sexually Assaulted by an Invisible Entity

Staff and guests alike have repeatedly reported strange noises and happenings over the years, including:

• Reports of being propositioned by a female voice while alone in their rooms
• The maid’s cart being pushed down the hall when no one was there
• Even one man claiming something from the shadow realm molested him in the middle of the night

Despite such tales, team traveling secretaries continue to book The Skirvin for their OKC stops.

I don’t know if it’s due to capacity, rebates, or just shits and giggles. But this can’t be the only hotel in downtown Oklahoma City.

Whatever the reason, The Skirvin ruined the Knicks’ night. As they ended up losing to the Thunder by 18 points the following day😖

I’m Frightened And I Wanna Go Home

I imagine these were Eddy Curry’s last words before fleeing his hotel room to go bunk with Nate Robinson, thunder buddies style.

Mind you, this Curry was a traditional 300-pound center that grew up on the south side of Chicago. A place where you’re more likely to catch a stray from a ghost gun than encounter an actual ghost.

So when he claims to have only slept two hours due to horny spirits roaming the hallways outside his hotel room, it sounds perfectly reasonable.
