Astonishing LegendsNov 12, 2026

Listener Evan, a sophomore engineering student at Ohio University around 2015, recounts living in room 328 of Wilson Hall, directly below the notorious haunted room 428. What began as a fun novelty of bunking beneath one of America's most legendary haunted dorm rooms reportedly came with a price. The episode explores Athens, Ohio's haunted reputation, including the cemeteries said to form a lopsided square and the history of The Ridges asylum, alongside discussion of sleep paralysis and the night hag phenomenon.
