Not only old houses, but ones where perhaps, a new furnace has been put in, or a water boiler, or the previous occupants have also reported strange things happening, headaches, or all mysteriously died. Carbon Monoxide is the most common type of fatal poisoning in the United States. It is far more likely that it is Carbon Monoxide than a haunting; it won't hurt to be the first thing to check. "In one famous case, carbon monoxide poisoning was clearly identified as the cause of an alleged haunting. Dr. William Wilmer, an ophthalmologist, described the experiences of one of his patients in a 1921 article published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. "Mr. and Mrs. H." moved into a new home, but soon began to complain of headaches and fatigue. They began to hear bells and footsteps during the night, accompanied by strange physical sensations and sightings of mysterious figures. When they began to investigate the symptoms, they discovered the previous residents of the house had similar experiences. An examination of their furnace found it to be severely damaged, resulting in incomplete combustion and forcing most of the fumes, including carbon monoxide, into the house rather than up the chimney." http://www.ghostvillage.com/resources/2004/resources_10312004.shtml Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is still one of the first things that should be checked for in a house believed to be haunted.
