What Causes the Feeling of Heaviness in Haunted Buildings?

Many people claim to feel a sense of heaviness when the walk into a supposedly haunted location. But is the air that surrounds them really heavier? Is this heaviness caused by the presence of a spirit? Or can it be attributed to something else.

I’ll admit, I have walked into many reportedly haunted buildings and felt a sense of heaviness. It was harder to breathe, and just didn’t feel quite right. The energy felt different. Having experienced this feeling of heaviness myself, I can understand why so many people feel overwhelmed when entering these locations.

I never automatically attributed these feelings of heaviness to the presence of a spirit or ghost being in the room with me. Of course it’s possible that I was in the presence of something otherworldly, but there’s more likely another reason.

One possible and obvious explanation for feeling heaviness in the air has to do with the age and ventilation of the building. Many old buildings are musty and lack ventilation. This is often the case with old abandoned prisons, theatres, and bars, where hauntings seem to be most common. The lack of ventilation can cause the air to feel heavier. The same is true for basements and attics in older homes.

There is also the psychological affect to consider. Walking into some of these buildings which are known to be haunted can cause some level of anxiety in people. One common symptom associated with anxiety is that it becomes harder to breathe. Breathing difficulty could give you the sensation that the surrounding air is heavier.

Another psychological factor to consider has to do with the fact that we may be pre-programmed to expect a feeling of heaviness when we enter a location that’s supposed to be haunted. We see paranormal investigators on television who report feeling a heaviness in the room, or we read about haunted buildings where some of the claims are a feeling of heaviness. Based on what we have already seen or read, our brains are programed to expect heaviness.

Even though the feeling of heaviness that many people get while visiting a reportedly haunted building can be explained away by science, it may not always be the case. In some instances, the feeling may actually be something paranormal. If ghosts and spirits can indeed gather energy from their surroundings, then they can change the energy in the room. This change in energy can possibly lead to a feeling of heaviness, especially to those people who are more sensitive to energy fluctuations.
