Learn More About The Haunted House Drawing
In many parts of the world, the idea of a haunted house is one of many cultural superstitions. Typically, supposed haunted houses have been the locations of deaths, murders, witchcraft, or other spiritualistic rites.
The houses are thought to be inhabited by ghosts or other supernatural creatures, and stories abound of strange happenings in such places.
The idea of a haunted house likely originates from the widespread religious belief that a spirit leaves the body after death. This spirit or ghost is then thought to remain in the house - either due to an affinity to the place or because of some terrible happening.
Such beliefs are especially common in areas in which deceased ancestors are revered and worshiped.
