History
The Skirvin Hotel located in Oklahoma is one of the most haunted hotels in the state. W.B. Skirvin began building the hotel in 1910. In 1911, the Skirvin Hotel was ready to open its doors. The hotel had two towers rising up to 10 stories with over 200 rooms. Back in the day it was known as the finest hotel in Oklahoma. It was one of the first buildings to have air conditioning and running water in each room. Expansion came in 1930 with a third wing, also 4 more stories were added increasing the rooms to over 500.
Mr. Skirvin moved his family and their pets onto the ninth floor of the hotel. In October, 1979 the hotel was listed on National Register of Historic Places. W.B. Skirvin died in 1944. The hotel closed down in 1988, however it had a full complete make-over and has recently reopened.
Legend
The legend goes like this: Mr Skirvin had an affair with one of the maids working at the hotel. When she became pregnant, she was locked up in a room on the top floor. She still remained there after giving birth to her child. Soon she became depressed and unstable. With child in hand she jumped through a window. To this day no one knows the name of the maid, however the former employees named her Effie.
Other occurrences said to happen are as follows: Females reported hearing the cries of a baby in the middle of the night, men said that while taking a shower a naked female would appear in the shower with them and/or they would be propositioned by a female voice, things would be moved, and the maid's carts would move down the hallway when no one was around.

Shadow People
Shadow People, what are they?
We don’t really know, however there are several theories.
One theory is shadow people are another way for ghosts to manifest. It takes less energy to reveal itself as a shadow then it does as an apparition. Most reports say that they appear as dark forms, silhouettes, seen with in the peripheral vision. Their movement can be swift especially if they realize they have been seen. They are mostly seen at night, however they can be seen in the day time hiding in the shadows.
Other theories are the imagination, demons, time travelers, interdimensional beings.
The imagination, illusions, our eyes are playing tricks on us, or real shadows caused by passing vehicle headlights. Demons, the dark shade of these beings led’s us to speculation. Time travelers, people from the future visiting us in the past. Interdimensional beings, some theorize that there are parallel dimensions and sometimes these dimensions cross into our world. Possibly allowing us a glimpse into another dimension, and the people who live in them.

Franks box or the Ghost box
Frank Sumption is the original creator of the Franks box or the Ghost box in 2002. However, some say that Thomas Edison was working on a spirit communicator. He never finished it. The box was built as a way to communicate with the spirit world. It allows for two-way communication.
The ghost box is used as an electronic method of spirit communication best categorized under ITC, Instrumental Transcommunication. ITC is the use of electronic video and audio equipment of communicate across dimension with discarnate human spirits.
The box scans AM and FM frequencies in a uninterrupted manner, creating white noise. Which is believed that ghosts can use to communicate with. This white noise is amplified. The box works interactively because you ask questions directly to the ghosts and receive answers back. How the box works seems to be affected by the strength of radio signals in an area. Poor signal quality reduces the ability for ghosts to make contact.
Continued research and experimenters have received positive messages, as well as negative messages.
A couple of tips when using the Franks box are that the box needs a good signal to work properly. If Am and/or FM stations are being picked up than the box will work. If the signal is weak try to strengthen the signal using an antenna. When communicating with ghosts ask plenty of questions. Give a reasonable amount of time for answers to come through.
