The Pfister Hotel, where presidential nominee Donald Trump is believed to be staying during the Republican National Convention, might be haunted.

Legend has it that a ghost lingers at the Milwaukee hotel, which was built 1893 by Guido Pfister and his son, Charles, billed at the time as the "Grand Hotel of the West."

Security is set up outside the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee on Sunday.

Now, a century later, multiple guests have had haunted experiences there, from Brent Rooker when he played baseball for the Oakland Athletics, to rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Guests have reported their televisions changing channels or turning on and off randomly, flickering lights, scratching on the walls, getting locked in the bathrooms, and more.

The high-end Milwaukee hotel is often where famous athletes, musicians and politicians stay when in Milwaukee.

President Joe Biden stayed at the hotel in March.

Trump stayed overnight in June 2018 before traveling to Mount Pleasant for a groundbreaking at the planned Foxconn site, which he predicted would be "the eighth wonder of the world."

Neither Trump nor officials at the Pfister Hotel have confirmed where he is staying this week, but the hotel, at 424 E. Wisconsin Ave., has significant metal fencing around it, similar to fences used around Fiserv Forum where the RNC is being held.

Also, a motorcade went to the Pfister Hotel Sunday and Monday, indicating high ranking party officials, possibly Trump or his family, were staying at the hotel.
