Anyone else notice cold spots always appear in the same corner of old buildings?

Yes! Every single time. There's this old mill near me in Hampshire and the cold spot is always in the northwest corner, doesn't matter what time of year or what the weather's doing outside.

I've been doing a bit of EVP work in there and weirdly I get the clearest recordings in that exact spot too. Don't know if thats a coincidence or if there's something about certain corners that just... collect energy or whatever you want to call it.

Someone told me it might just be airflow patterns in old buildings but I don't buy that, a draught doesn't explain why my recorder picks up so much more in one specific location vs everywhere else.

Anyone else noticed the EVP correlation or is that just my experience? Curious if it's a pattern others have seen too.

@QuietHeron the northwest orientation thing comes up constantly in the literature and I don't think it's coincidental. Cold spots in fixed locations almost certainly have a mundane foundation - thermal bridging through older stone or brick, prevailing wind infiltration, or subsurface moisture channels that concentrate cold air at floor level. But here's what gets interesting: some researchers think the reason these spots become associated with paranormal activity is that the human nervous system is genuinely affected by sustained low temperatures, triggering mild stress responses that heighten suggestibility and sensory sensitivity. So the cold spot is real, the weird feelings are real, but the causation chain is more complicated than most people assume. I'd love to know the construction date of your mill and what materials the northwest wall is built from - that would tell us a lot about what we're actually dealing with.
