This news is certainly unusual. Why would a player leave his teammates to avoid a hotel? But the answer is not simple as it is. It happened because the player wanted to stay away from Milwaukee’s haunted Pfister Hotel.

The Pfister Hotel was started in 1893 and is over a century-old historical place. But not the first time this hotel is in the news because of such spooky claims by an MLB player. Phillies Star Bryce Harper also made similar claims. According to MLB.com, Harper had claimed, he awoke to his clothes on the floor.

“When I woke up in the morning, I swear on everything, the clothes were on the floor, and the table was on the opposite side of the room against the wall, Harper said. “I was so flustered…honestly thought there might be someone in my room. I had no idea what the hell just happened, so I actually looked around, and then I checked to see if the door was still latched, and it was.”
