8. Haunted College Dorm Sealed Off Forever

The haunting of Room 428 may have only changed history in a very small way, but it's certainly significant. Reports of hauntings in the dormitory room at Ohio University in Athens stretch back decades, with the Wilson Hall building of residence for students the home to a ghost who died under mysterious circumstances in the seventies.

Stories since have ranged from the violent death of a young woman in the middle of an occult ritual, astral projection conducted by its occupants, along with multiple honest-to-goodness poltergeist sightings reported from multiple people €“ students and teachers €“ with objects being lifted and hurled violently through the air.
