if you've seen a hypnotist make a mockery of people on stage, then you know that people can be very easily made to completely ignore reality
now if people hype you up about a supposedly haunted house, maybe they are unconsciously doing what a hypnotist consciously does
so you go into the supposedly haunted house and experience things which are not there
i think most of the time this happens
also the hyping up doesn't have to be immediately prior to entering the so-called haunted house, the non-real experience of seeing ghosts etc. could
also occur because of some horror movie which you watched as a kid, and these things were lying dormant in your mind, and now that you've entered a
house which reminds you of a 'haunted house', these past memories/suggestions surface and might mess with your mind
i am not a skeptic, but i think in most cases, people are simply misguided by their emotions
what is required is a person who will encounter a terrifying ghost and still feel no fear, if such a person checks out a haunted house, he/she will be
able to more accurately tell if the place is haunted or not
