With a pounding heart and sigh of fright, we continued the tour to room 320 a little more paranoid than when we began. Room 320, aka the "murder room" is fairly self explanatory. We recreated the ghostly story of how the murder took place where a husband murdered his wife upon catching her infidelity with another man. The bed where she was murdered is the exact bed that we saw. Written on the headboard said "Come Gentle Dreams the Hours of Sleep Beguile;" this happens to be the only bed with an engraving on it in the whole hotel. Surprisingly, the Oxford still rents the room out quite frequently, but according to Kevin, at least 3-4 times a year, single men who stay in room 320, will request a different room after experiencing a supernatural force that targets them. According to complaint records, it is only single men who stay in the room by themselves who get to experience this angry husband's haunting.
