The "Fourth Floor of Hicks" is a myth associated with the Freshmen dormitory building called Hicks existing at Grove City College, a conservative Christian college in Grove City, PA. A common theory is that the Fourth Floor exists within its own pocket dimension within Hicks, and that if one is able to put together some secret code hidden within the building, the Fourth Floor will manifest behind one of the doors of Hicks. Though the Fourth Floor of Hicks has never been definitively discovered, certain handful of people have claimed to have had crazed dreams related to the Fourth Floor. Common reported details include seeing a lone empty wooden chair, ghostly people, and shadowy humanoid creatures that crawl on all fours. The Fourth Floor is often described as a grim, long, and seemingly unending rectangular wooden platform existing in a dark void. A less common but occasionally reported detail is that if you walk down the platform of the Fourth Floor long enough, you'll find a large metallic box-like structure with a locked door. Dreamers of the Fourth Floor who have reported this detail often claim that in their dreams they always had the key to the door, but always as if this room was even more forbidden than the Fourth Floor itself, and never had the courage to open it. Though most details about the Fourth Floor of Hicks come from reports of unusual dreams, there have been rare instances of speak of hearing faint footsteps above the third floor of Hicks...
