More from SXSW: My Hotel is Haunted

While at South By Southwest I found out that the hotel I was staying in was apparently haunted.  I typically don't believe in this type of stuff but I definately had a few strange experiences even before I heard the ghost stories.

I'd been traveling all day and was pretty hungry.  I checked into the hotel at around 7 pm it was cold in Austin (mid 30's) so when I walked into my room I turned off the ceiling fan and the A/C which were both blaring.  I grabbed a bag of chips from the mini bar to hold me over until dinner.  I'd eaten about half of them and placed the bag on the bed while I unpacked, when suddenly I heard this shreeking noise.  I first thought this was on TV but then ruled that out.  I turned and looked at the bed and the bag of chips were moving.  Ghost?  I don't know.

The next night I'd turned off the ceiling fan and about 30 minutes or so later it was spinning again.  Apparently my Hotel The Driskill is one of the most haunted hotels in American.
