Is Your House Haunted?

I agree that not every sight and sound is the paranormal. Since humans think we can explain everything:

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."
What say you, GCers? Are some of the stories in our paranormal thread a bunch of hooptyhaaaa?
