According to legend, the Skirvin Hilton Hotel in Oklahoma City — where the Miami Heat are staying on their NBA Finals road trip — is haunted.
A pair of onetime New York Knicks believes it, including current Miami player Eddy Curry.
Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson really believes it, as he told ESPNChicago.com’s Nick Friedell.
Shawn Marion once saw something pretty scary there, which he shared with ESPN Dallas’ Skin Wade.
While the Heat might not believe it all that much, Bill Simmons in 2010 stayed the night and, well …
… I woke up at 4:30 with my heart pounding. I swear on Tom Brady’s ACLs that the following happened: At first, I heard a baby crying and realized that was why I woke up. I thought it was one of my own kids before remembering that my kids weren’t babies anymore, then remembering that I was in Oklahoma City and not Los Angeles. Suddenly, it dawned on me that I wasn’t alone. I had an overpowering sensation that someone else was in the room. Until you’ve experienced that feeling, you can’t understand what it’s like. Your blood is swishing through your veins at 200 mph, only you don’t understand why. Your body reacts a few seconds before your brain does.

Saudi ghost-hunters raid “haunted” hospital June 3, 2012

The dingy corridors and gloomy wards of a long-abandoned Saudi Arabian hospital have drawn hundreds of amateur ghost hunters who believe it to be haunted by jinn, the malevolent spirits of the Koran and Arabian mythology.
The macabre fascination with Riyadh’s Irqa Hospital, which treated Gulf War combatants in 1991, began with tweeted rumours and escalated to the point where hundreds of youths broke into the grounds, smashing windows and starting fires.
“Teenagers sent text messages calling for an operation against some of the jinn who live in the hospital, and they broke into the hospital and smashed its facilities and burned 60 percent of it,” Okaz newspaper reported last week.
The rampage prompted angry press complaints the authorities were allowing the building to fall into disrepair.
