So when did all the paranormal activity start and what are the stories? The hotel got its name from its original owner and builder William Skirvin. The story goes that Mr. Skirvin was inappropriately involved with a hotel maid who got pregnant. To avoid all the controversy since he was a married man he locked the maid named Effie in a room on the 10th floor. She was a prisoner even after her child was born and was never allowed to leave the room she was locked in. The only means of escape Effie thought she had was to leap out of the 10th-story window along with her baby, killing themselves. A tragic story, that turned into a ghost story.
