Haunted Houses — Why We Fear Certain Places
This episode explores why certain places feel haunted and how psychological factors shape our fear of them. It examines concepts like pareidolia, the expectancy effect, emotional associations, and environmental triggers such as infrasound and poor air quality. Haunted places, it argues, reflect our fear of the unknown, heightened by storytelling and cultural conditioning. Whether or not ghosts are real, the fear they evoke is rooted in how our brains perceive and respond to unfamiliar or emotionally charged environments.
