Clippers' Johnson the latest to say OKC hotel is haunted

Los Angeles Clippers forward Wesley Johnson chimed in Wednesday with his own unnerving experience at Oklahoma City's Skirvin Hilton hotel, the potentially-haunted lodgings that most NBA teams use when visiting the Thunder.

Specifically, it seems nobody in particular drew him a bath, unsolicited. From the Orange County Register's Dan Woike:

Two years ago, Wesley Johnson woke up to a full bathtub in his room at the Skirvin Hilton Hotel in Oklahoma City. He never turned on the faucet. He never opened the door for someone else. The water, it just appeared. "It was crazy," Johnson said.

The haunting claims are nothing new for the 105-year-old upscale hotel. Tim Duncan is one of many NBA players who say they've had spooky experiences in the building, and the New York Knicks once even blamed a loss on lack of sleep due to noisy ghosts.

Perhaps more concerning - on a less-supernatural level - to the hotel is the reported bedbugs that knocked Kyrie Irving out of a Cleveland Cavaliers' visit to OKC last month.

"The Skirvin won't be happy with this article," Clippers coach Doc Rivers joked to Woike.
