The sealed dorm room—"uninhabitable" per the university.

A university in Athens, Ohio, Ohio University — Wilson Hall Room 428 is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The sealed dorm room—"uninhabitable" per the university. HauntHunt files it with haunted places, local folklore and education. The file’s recurring figure goes by a name, not a description: the room 428 student. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open to visitors.

Room 428 is the sealed — the 'only' that's the university, the 'no plumbing' that's the reason. The '2 deaths' is the '70s — the 'male' that's the first, the 'female' that's the rituals. The 'door' is the faces — the 'scratched' that's the grain, the 'replaced' that's the kept appearing.
The 'pentagram' is the legend — the '5 cemeteries' that's the Athens, the 'unmarked burial' that's the built on. The 'folklore' is the warning — the 'accounts differ' that's the details, the 'sealed' that's the undisputed. Room 428 is the locked — the 'footsteps' that's the heard, the 'figure' that's the window.
The file keeps Room 428: the sealed dorm, the 2 deaths, the scratched door, and the folklore warning.
Room 428 is the archive's Ohio file — the university's sealed room.
