Makes you wonder, how many “hauntings” are just poor insulation?
You’d be amazed—half the “paranormal activity” calls I get are just drafty windows or a loose vent cover. Folks will spend big on fancy gadgets but ignore a $3 weatherstrip. It’s wild how the little stuff snowballs.

That’s the truth. I’ve seen people convinced their house is “settling” or haunted, but it’s just a loose attic hatch or a gap under the door. Ever checked behind your baseboards? Sometimes it’s just a missing bead of caulk making all that racket. It’s wild how much peace of mind a little insulation can buy.

Funny how the smallest gaps can make a house sound like it’s falling apart. I always start with a flashlight and a stick of incense—watch where the smoke drifts, and you’ll find every draft. Quick bead of caulk or a strip of foam, and suddenly it’s quiet again. It’s almost satisfying, honestly.

Isn’t that the truth? I once had a client convinced their new storm shelter was haunted because of a weird whistling noise. Turned out, it was just a tiny gap where the door frame met the wall—one squeeze of caulk and it went dead silent. Sometimes I think half my job is just hunting down sneaky little drafts.

You nailed it. People underestimate how much those tiny gaps can mess with your sanity. I’ve spent hours chasing a “mystery rattle” that turned out to be a loose weatherstrip. Good on you for getting the shelter checked and sorted—peace of mind is worth every bit of hassle. Those little fixes make all the difference, even if they seem minor at first.
