    The reason old buildings are “haunted” is usually carbon monoxide. That’s why modern buildings don’t have ghosts.

      I think it can also have to do with pipes and stuff vibrating at a sub-audible frequency which can cause feelings of dread and fear. Horror movies use this technique pretty frequently.

        It also depends on people who believe in ghosts. A normal person just hears pipes making noise.

        I went to my buddies house one day and he was excited to show me a video he recorded… of particles of dust being lit up by the cameras light. I almost felt bad to say the truth because he was so excited to have captured ‘ghosts’.
