haunt mechanism

A haunt mechanism refers to the process by which a location becomes or remains “haunted,” often due to residual energy or emotional imprint left by past events. This can involve physical factors, like electromagnetic disturbances, or psychological influences, such as collective memories or fear. Essentially, certain environments may trigger sensations or sightings that people associate with spirits or supernatural activity. The idea suggests that these phenomena are rooted in the environment’s history or energy, and not necessarily linked to actual spirits, but rather to complex interactions between surroundings, perception, and memory.
