Ohio University in Athens is probably the most haunted college campus in the entire country, if not the world. As Ohio places go, it's ancient: established in 1804, just one year after statehood, the nation's first institution of higher learning west of the Appalachian Mountains.
The sheer number of haunted places on campus is impressive enough, and that's not even counting the numerous other legends floating around Athens County. FOX even taped an episode of its Scariest Places on Earth program at OU. The show aired in 2001 and took a somewhat less-than-studious approach to the local ghost legends--but really, do we expect any more from FOX? I've attempted to assemble the well-known stories here; if you know of anything I'm leaving out, please let me know.
