Infrasound likely key factor in hauntings
Ars Technica·
New research suggests that infrasound, sound frequencies below the range of human hearing, may be a significant factor in experiences attributed to hauntings. Scientists propose that these low-frequency vibrations, generated by sources like mechanical systems or traffic, can induce physiological responses such as increased irritability and cortisol levels. Previous studies have explored environmental factors like magnetic fields and humidity, but this latest work points to infrasound as a potential explanation for the unsettling sensations people report in supposedly haunted locations, offering a scientific perspective on paranormal claims.
