Thanks to Jim for maintaining his great webpage and sharing information on Haunted Ohio University with us. Ohio University, in Athens, Ohio, is no stranger to ghosts. The area in and around Athens is sad to be one of the most haunted places in the country.
Many students report strange and unexplained happenings in the dorms in which they live on.
Although different dorms serve as the setting, the stories reported are sometimes the same, although there are always exceptions. Residents of Jefferson Hall in 1996 found more than they bargained for one day when they decided to go looking around their dorm. While walking around upstairs they came across a room that as far as they knew was unused, but the door was wide open. Looking into the room, they noticed a woman, dressed rather conservatively, sitting at an old desk in a dark corner of the room. The residents later said that she looked like an elementary school teacher.
