The Pfister Hotel

Welcome to the Spooky Sconnie podcast, the show that talks about the spooky, paranormal, criminal, and just plain odd Badger State. While we're known for sportsball and food, there's a lot more to learn about Wisconsin if you know where to look.

In this episode, I cover the Pfister - a Milwaukee hotel spooky enough to scare off professional atheletes... and fancy enough to keep the pleebs like me away. We'll cover fun history, baseball, and portly gents.

Also, does this look like it's seemlessly integrated? I don't think so.

Transcript

Hey! In case you haven't listened to the first episode, I'm Kirsten Schultz and I'm your host. We talk about everything weird and creepy and spooky and random in Wisconsin. I really love true crime and I was really kind of getting bummed that the only few things being covered in Wisconsin constantly are Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer. And while both of their stories are interesting, there's so much more to Wisconsin. So thanks for tuning in. Thanks for wanting to learn more about Wisconsin and random creepy shit.

This week I wanted to do one of the coolest places. I have never been in the state. The Pfister hotel in Milwaukee is expensive enough to scare off the average person (i.e., me) and haunted enough to scare off even professional athletes.
