Intrepid players grapple with power cuts at the Milwaukee Hotel, long claimed to be haunted

The MLB team says they lost power while staying at the historic Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee...Ghosts...Atlanta Braves.

The Braves, who currently have a 16-20 record, travel to Milwaukee this week to face the Brewers, 23-13, but the Wisconsin team's record isn't the only thing to watch during their visit.

Although the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee is a staple for MLB teams when they're in town to play with the Brewers, several league stars claim to have witnessed strange occurrences at the hotel. And the daredevil isn't immune to some... discomfort.

Team manager Brian Snitker told reporters the Braves had problems with running water and Pfister light switches. "I went to the bathroom and turned on the light, but it didn't happen," Snitker said.

He continued: "In the middle of the morning, I thought if I didn't hurry up and take a shower, all the hot water would be gone, and it turned out to be true. So I took a cold shower. But I had water. The water disappeared in other parts of the site when the power went out.

According to Bleacher Report, the low hot water supply may not be the worst, but the lack of hot water prevented some Braves players from showering on Monday. According to USA Today, MLB stars had complained about their unusual experiences at Pfister since 2001, when Dodgers star Adrian Beltre said he heard an unexplained knock on his bedroom door.

In 2008, Carlos Gomez told reporters "everything was scary" about the hotel, according to the outlet. "Everything in the hotel -- pictures and paintings, old, crazy stuff. Not good, man. Not good," Gomez said.

In a 2009 Associated Press video, former MLB player Mike Cameron said of the hotel, "If someone were to tell me they suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and felt like someone was in the room and the door was wide open with an open mind... that's enough. to change, to make other plans."
