I mean, I'm pretty sure cats can see ghosts, so maybe cats get ghosts to open doors for them when their humans won't?

I remember a TV show where a home inspector would show up to “haunted” houses and explain how all their supposed ghost stories were actually due to loose doors, bad plumbing, etc.

I saw a similar B Movie "actually, you've got bad electrical work and you stored fuming paint cans next to your ventilation" but it was only the first 15 minutes and then it devolved into a "you should have accepted christ but now its Armageddon."

Major lost potential on that film.

I would watch the shit out of that, I desperately need you to remember the name.

I think it was Paranormal Home Inspectors

It’d be funny if they said the ghosts were loosening the doors and messing with the plumbing

I'm not sure if it's quite what they were talking about, but the first season or two of the original Ghost Hunters was a lot like this. They would at least pay lip service to try and disprove the ghost, and I believe they even left a location and straight up told the owner that it probably wasn't haunted, just old

I always wonder if we only get homo sapiens ghosts or we also get the others like homo erectus. If we get all of them, do they all sorta live with each other?

Depending on if spirits are effected by gravity, we might just be leaving a trail of ghosts through out space.

I lived for seventeen years in a SOPH panhandle Victorian in San Francisco. It was there since before the 1906. All the ghosts lived there.

I didn't really believe in that stuff till I moved into my new place. I have to say the shit that happens is not explainable by science. But only in the kitchen. Whatever is in there is mostly chill but occasionally acts up. Last week was the worst, I was cooking and turn around to go to the fridge when a 10liter glass margarita jug comes flying off the top shelf above the fridge i had not yet touched. Jar smashed and breaks on my head, blood everywhere. No real explanation how a large, sturdy jug that hasn't moved since summer, suddenly ended up on my head.

I had a heated talk with whatever it was after and said I didn't mind sharing space but this shit is unacceptable. Hopefully it helps

Refrigerators vibrate. Glass has low friction. It slowly got closer to the edge with cycles of the compressor and opening and closing slightly moving it over time.

The shelf wasn't directly above. If the jug fell it would have bounced off the fridge and microwave on top but instead it came off the shelf with enough force to go past the fridge completely. It was definitely the weirdest thing that's happened to me
