The Ridges Athens, OH

[maddywarren]

The stain isn't cleaning supplies.She simply took her clothes off and laid them beside here and layed there and died.She escaped her cell and went through the halls.If the stain were cleaning supplies why would they be in the shape of a body?From cleaning the stain which didn't work?And why would there be human tissue residue if it is JUST cleaning supplies?

However,there are 0 ghosts in the Athens lunatic asylum.

"As the story goes"? So is there proof any of this actually happened?

[KevinMHSwim]

i thought that there was like a huge blood stain on the floor when she died.... maybe after she died someone tried to clean it up wit stain solution and couldnt get if out and just left it white. tht might explain the human tissue found in it

It's so fun to break into the ridges... Although scary when you get in there. It's Athens for you, everyone breaks in there.

Thanks for watching and thanks for letting us know that clarification is needed!

Oh no, I totally agree with all the facts you said below in the comments. I don't think its cleaning solution. I would love to see this in person for myself, that would be awesome!

[houdinifan27]

so they said that its cleaning solution but yet they did find real human tissue in the stain itself? Makes no sense....

[kiskemikus]

I know, the video is a bit confusing, they have cut out a lot of our explanations. In short, this is the idea:

Fact: Margaret Schilling died in that room, her body was found 5 weeks later.

Fact: there is a white stain on the floor in the shape of a human body (although not consistent with the stain an actual person would leave -it is too uniform throughout, instead of patches where the head, shoulder, hips touch the floor)

Fact: the stain cannot be removed by washing, scraping, etc.

[kiskemikus]

Fact: there is a white residue on top of the stain that, upon chemical analysis, turned out to be of human origin

Myth: the decomposing body, or a supranatural event left the actual white "shadow".

Fact: The stain cannot be removed because it was made while someone probably tried cleaning the floor. The acid in the cleaning solution etched the concrete, that is why it cannot be removed.

The term "stain" refers to the "drawing" on the floor, the human residue was found ON TOP of this stain.

[thekittykatkid642]

[ohio1998]

I used to take daily walks up there. It was one of my favorite parts of campus. I'm sure one day it will be completly full again. Not full of crazies, but crazy college students!

"Mystery solved?" And the moron who who locked her into this area without checking the rooms first is....the real mystery. Mystery unsolved! (but white- washed)
