When Jon Miller came over to talk about the recent sexual assault warrants the other day, he referred to Tilison's dorm room as a "Ghost Room". I thought it was a cool phrase for an open room that's available for parties, hookups and whatnot, but then I got to thinking about it some more.
Now that I've digested the concept of "ghost rooms", I guess that Frank Whaley's character from "Broken Arrow" best sums up my thoughts on the issue:
"I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it."
(hyperbole alert: The author of this post realizes that theft of nuclear weapons should not be compared with a bunch of football thugs "gettin' jiggy wit' it". He just thinks that was a cool quote.)

I had never heard of that term before this. Crash pad, yes, but never ghost room.

Holy Crap, G-G-G-G-G-host Room!
I'll bet it's just Old Man Ferentz, trying to scare people away so he can mine for gold. I've also seen him hanging around that abandoned amusement park.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky kids and your red bird.

I lived in Towers at ISU and knew a couple girls who had to vacate their room because it was unsafe and move to the floor den. The one girl kept her key and we made good use of that "Ghost Room". lol
Oh college memories!!

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

You could get away with so much at Towers. It was awesome. But I am glad I was always just visiting.
