Your door is breathing. No, not the come-alive-holding-a-butcher-knife breathing. "Most claims of this type of paranormal activity in the northern United States are made between the months of October and March," says Grant Wilson, co-host with Jason Hawes of Syfy's "Ghost Hunters." Here's why: "In the winter, the heating system evaporates moisture in the wood, making doors contract and causing them to become unlatched."
A small draft. When a door opens or closes, it can raise or lower indoor air pressure, causing another door to move.
Bad hardware. "Not long ago, we went to a lady's house where, during really humid days, her door's latch would be a hair off, so that it didn't fully close," Wilson says. "On particularly windy days, the door would open by itself."
