Houses might be considered "haunted" if the people living in them died in a tragic way or experienced a traumatic event in the house, which would leave behind a "residual energy" in the space. Conversely, a person who lived in a house for a long time and had a strong positive emotional connection to it may leave behind a lingering presence even after they have died as well. Historic homes are more likely to be haunted because they have seen more significant events. If the house is younger, it is also possible that it was built over a burial site that was previously used, and the concentration of the area was shattered when the graves were disturbed. This scenario could potentially lead to paranormal activity because the property is being disturbed rather than the structure itself.
