What happens when a dorm room becomes too dangerous to live in? At Ohio University, it gets sealed… forever. Room 428 was permanently closed after a series of unexplained deaths, but the story doesn’t end there. From disembodied voices that turn to screams, to ghostly apparitions that like to snuggle, to a very dark history tied to a former psychiatric hospital, this campus holds more than just secrets…It holds energy. So strap on your snorkeling gear, Ghouligans. We’re diving deep into the campus lore.
