Study: Infrasound likely a key factor in alleged hauntings
Summary
A new study suggests that feelings of haunting or ghostly presence in certain locations may be caused by infrasound, which is sound at frequencies too low for most people to hear. Infrasound can come from things like pipes, fans, or traffic, and it can cause people to feel uneasy or sense something unusual without realizing why.Key Facts
