‘The cause might be vibrating pipes rather than restless spirits’: increased stress and irritability from infrasound exposure may explain paranormal experiences

Some animals, like elephants, use infrasound to communicate over long distances, while certain fish species actively avoid it. How humans respond to infrasound has been less clear. In this study, researchers played infrasound alongside music and found that although listeners couldn’t accurately detect the infrasound, their irritability and salivary cortisol levels rose — suggesting that our bodies may react to infrasound even when we can’t consciously hear it. That invisible reaction might even help explain why people report unusual experiences in places like supposedly haunted buildings.

Duh, vibrating pipes and other sources of infrasound are more likely to occur in haunted locations

This sounds like propaganda written by a ghost
