The Haunting Of Ohio University

Ohio University is known in state folklore as one of the most haunted college campus in the United States. 

Established in 1804, the university is old by Ohio standards, which adds to its ghostly reputation. A large number of places on campus are said to be haunted, and numerous other popular tales are told about the university in Athens county. 

The British Society for Psychical Research claims that Athens, Ohio, is one of the most haunted places in the world. Fox filmed an episode of its Scariest Places on Earth at the university. 

Many of the ghost stories associated with Athens and the University center around the former Athens Lunatic Asylum and the horrors that supposedly went on there.
