What makes a place seem ‘haunted’? (www.popsci.com)

The term paranormal refers to experiences and events that are not scientifically explainable, like a UFO or a kitchen chair seemingly moving on its own. These are things that exist beyond the understood laws of nature. But while nothing has ever been proven, some places are more prone to perceived paranormal activity than others. So, what causes a “ghost meter” to spike in one location? What triggers feelings of extreme fear and unease in a so-called “haunted” place? Turns out the answers are more rooted in scientific evidence than you might think.
