When we talk about something that haunts, it’s like a shadow that follows you around, even when you don’t want it to. Imagine if you have a little cloud above your head that keeps reminding you of something, like a toy you lost or a scary movie you watched. It doesn’t mean the cloud is bad, but it just won’t go away, and it keeps popping up in your mind.
Think of a haunt like a song that gets stuck in your head. You hear it once, and then it keeps playing over and over, even when you’re trying to think about something else. The song isn’t really there, but it feels like it is because you keep remembering it.
Sometimes, when people say a place is haunted, they mean there’s a story about a ghost or spirit that lives there. It’s like saying there’s an invisible friend who never leaves. You might not see them, but the stories and feelings about them are always there, just like that little cloud or song in your head.
