[edit] Paranormal beliefs
Cold spots are said to be unexplained paranormal temperature variances that are believed to signal that a ghost is present. It is thought that a ghost uses the energy in a particular spot to manifest itself, and by doing so, creates a cold mass. Ghost hunters often use hand held infrared temperature sensors to attempt to document evidence of hauntings.
[edit] Skeptical analysis
Cold spots supposedly indicate areas where ghosts reside (a spooky place may give one “cold chills”). Modern ghost hunters employ heat sensors, such as digital thermal scanners which measure instant temperature changes -- despite a lack of scientific evidence or theory to support equating the temperature with ghosts and the fact that temperatures can vary throughout a building due to normal causes.[1]
