The Knicks Believe in Ghosts

Ah, yes. The old “the hotel was haunted, and I couldn’t sleep” excuse: “For two days, several players had trouble sleeping because they were convinced that their downtown hotel is haunted. ‘I definitely believe it,’ Jared Jeffries said. ‘The place is haunted. It’s scary.’ Eddy Curry claims he slept for only two hours Sunday night because he couldn’t stop thinking about ghosts roaming the hotel. For years, guests staying at the Skirvin Hilton have reported ghost sightings and strange noises. Legend has it that sometime in the 1930s, a woman jumped to her death while holding her baby in her hands. ‘They said it happened on the 10th floor and I’m the only one staying on the 10th floor,’ Curry said. ‘That’s why I spent most of my time in (Nate Robinson’s) room. I definitely believe there are ghosts in that hotel.”‘
