We're sure that you guys have heard this story told in many different forms, but the most common known tale about this room is regarding the student who committed suicide in the dorm, specifically room 428. It's been told that the young girl who lived there practiced astral projection, a method when the human spirit separates from the body and travels on it's own. From there, it only gets worse....
Residents began to report hearing chanting during the middle of the night, doors slamming themselves shut, and objects (hair brushes, books, etc.) would fly across the room spontaneously.
After not hearing or seeing from the girl for a period of three to four days, the resident assistant opened the door to 428 to check on her. To the RA's surprise, she found the girl had committed suicide. Before she did this though, she smeared letters and symbols all over the walls of her dorm in her own blood.
Ohio University did the bet they could to keep the story out of the public eye in hopes that they wouldn't receive press off of this story. They immediately cleaned the dorm room, and were assigning new students to this ro
om shortly after the accident. Not long after though, residents were beginning to report strange happenings again, including the blood seeping through the walls where she had left her mark. No matter how many times, the university painted it, the blood continued to appear. Also, there appears to be a demonic face on the wooden door going into the room that's said to still be there today.
So: How are you feeling about your newest dorm room now? Still so excited to be the newest resident of Wilson
room 428? Didn't think so! The room has now been transformed into a boiler room in hopes of leaving this crazy story behind us. As we're sure you've all heard, this story has been featured on Syfy's Scariest Places on Earth, and sure enough, Athens was listed as the 13th scariest place. Attached is the portion of the episode that was focused on Wilson Hall, so be sure to check it out!
