    The story about Jefferson Hall is BS. I was there in 96. Never heard about it. The Ridges are very spooky. Lots of strange things have happened on campus over the years. One night, I was sitting in the tv room of my sorority house after midnight. The handles to the closed double doors started turning at the same time. I got up and didn’t see anybody through the crack in the doors. Upon opening the doors, no one was there or anywhere in the other room. That was my own personal experience. The house is on College Street and it happened in the front room of the house (that was original to the structure). On another note, I remember stories of either the Sig Ep or AOII houses being haunted by the ghost of a slave. Those houses had something to do with the Underground Railroad. I think they called him Nicodemus..this is my memory from the late ‘90s.

    This is part 1. We are releasing the other half on Saturday. We visit the places we make videos of and this video had all the locations on campus we had time for. We filmed 6 videos worth of material in three different states in two days. So we didn't have much time on campus. Plus, there was a home football game and and it was parents weekend! So we had deal with all the traffic and people too. It was a struggle. The other video will have most of what you mentioned, but will be of more generic shots around campus and pictures, instead of videos of each building.

    I graduated from OU and tbh I think this university is not haunted that seriously. Although I met some strange things before, like weird noise at 3am and missing bowls while I was living in my old apt alone. I was pretty sure that nobody except myself stayed in my apt on that day and I locked my door before sleeping. Maybe it was because I was too bodacious to be haunted so the ghosts wanted to leave me alone lol.

    The Strangest it was in University Courtyard. All of my roommates went back to their countries during that summer so only me stayed. I checked every corner in the apt including all my roommates rooms but couldn’t find the two stupid bowls I had used before that day. I couldn’t understand why it chose two bowls in the kitchen, no matter it was a ghost or retarded thief.

    When my dad was a student there, he was supposed to be a sort of maintenance guy for one of the halls (I think Brian or Bryant) during one of the breaks. No students were at the dorm at that time but somehow all the lights in the building got turned on. My dad checks the fuse box and shut them all off again, then got a call from someone that all the lights were still on. This happened a few more times, but eventually he saw that the fuse box was turned off yet all the lights were somehow still on. They say that almost every student that goes there experiences something paranormal, which is why I'm kinda excited to be attending this fall

    I went to OU, stayed in Wilson, since I was engineering. I didn’t experience anything there, but my apartment off campus was absolutely haunted. We had the spontaneous lights and such, but the clincher was when my roommate came back one night with his girlfriend. They locked the door and laid down. Suddenly, the door unlocked. She asked him if it was me, if I had a ken. He replied no... I don’t even have a key. Needless to say, they came back uptown and started drinking again.

    I lived in 427 Wilson Hall. Right next door to the haunted room. Today both rooms are closed. Yes, there is an image of a demon in the door. But my neighbors never complained of anything. There was the occasional bat flying around. The rooms were very large but with limited sunlight because of location at the end of the hall. Gloomy all the time. I didnt see flying objects or ghosts but it just had a weird vibe.

There are a few other places I really want to film in Ohio so it is only a matter of time. This was super spur of the moment. We were filming a lot of videos in one week and realized we were only an hour a way from Ohio University and had some extra time to kill to go and film. Ohio has so many awesome ghost stories and legends.
