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 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 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.
