I listened to an NPR story around Halloween about a young married couple in the early 1900s who moved into an old house.
Right away, the place is clearly haunted. Weird cold spots. Doors that are open that they know they had closed earlier. They hear footsteps sometimes in rooms they know are empty. They awake at night and are aware of malevolent human-shaped dark figures in their bedroom. It’s basically a laundry list of classic haunted house tropes.
They call in a priest, he says some prayers. Weird phenomena continue. House is still haunted.
They call in a gas guy. He fixes a leaky gas pipe. Symptoms go away. House is no longer haunted.

People should get CO detectors, especially if they’re burning fuel for heat inside the house in their boiler room.
