Haunted House
A haunted house, spook house or ghost house in ghostlore is a house or other building often perceived as being inhabited by disembodied spirits of the deceased who may have been former residents or were otherwise connected with the property. Parapsychologists often attribute haunting to the spirits of the dead who have suffered from violent or tragic events in the building's past such as murder, accidental death, or suicide. In a majority of cases, upon scientific investigation, alternative causes to supernatural phenomenon are found to be at fault, such as hoaxes, environmental effects, hallucinations or confirmation biases. Common symptoms of hauntings, like cold spots and creaking or knocking sounds, can be found in most homes regardless of suspected paranormal presences.

"A week before I was saying to the boss in the pizza place I was working, 'Ah I've just seen next week's rota. I can't do Wednesday because I'm doing Top of the Pops' … It felt a bit like some kind of elfin quest. Leaving my safe little job was like leaving the shire." He made a guest appearance on '' ER'' in 2002, in the role of a DJ. Orbital split up in 2004, after producing seven albums and developing a ...

Which Witch? (board Game)
''Which Witch?'' is a children's board game published in 1970 by the Milton Bradley Company, and was invented by Joseph M. Burck of Marvin Glass and Associates. The board represents a haunted house with four large rooms: the Broom Room, the Witchin' Kitchen, the Spell Cell and the Bat's Ballroom, assembled before play into a three-dimensional model house with vertical walls, and a large plastic chimney in the center. There are four tokens, colored red, yellow, blue and green. Each token is shaped like a child, either a boy or a girl, with four corresponding mouse tokens of identical color. In each turn, each player rolls a single die to determine movement distance along a tiled track through the rooms. Several tiles are "danger" squares because they are in the path of the game's "whammy ball", a steel ball dropped into the central chimney that falls randomly into one of the rooms. The end of the track in the Bat's Ballroom is the "Charmed Circle". The player to reach the Charmed Ci ...
