A '''haunted''' house is a house or other building often [[perceived]] as being inhabited by disembodied [[spirits]] of the deceased who may have been former residents or were familiar with the [[property]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parapsychologists Parapsychologists] attribute haunting to the spirits of the [[dead]] and the effect of [[violent]] or [[tragic]] [[events]] in the building's past such as [[murder]], [[accidental]] [[death]], or [[suicide]]. More [[scientific]] [[explanations]] for the perception that a house is haunted include misinterpreting [[noises]] naturally present in structures, waking [[dreams]], suggestibility, and the effect of [[toxic]] substances in environments that can cause [[hallucinations]].
