No, I don't. I think there is always an explanation, like the old phone in the story. But maybe some houses are really haunted!

Le texteThe Mystery of the Singing Ghost
Last winter, strange things happened at Hollybrook School. Every evening at six o’clock, the cleaners heard a sad song in the empty music room. Mrs Patel, the head cleaner, was sure: « It’s definitely a ghost! » Two pupils, Maya and Leo, decided to investigate.
First, they questioned the witnesses. « What did you hear exactly? » Maya asked Mr Jones, the caretaker. « A woman’s voice. It was very spooky, » he answered. « Did you see anybody? » asked Leo. « No, I didn’t. The room was empty. »
The next evening, the two detectives hid behind the piano with a torch. At six o’clock, the song started again, but there was nobody in the room! Then Leo found a clue: a small blue light under a cupboard. It was an old phone! Their music teacher, Miss Green, lost it there last month, and every evening its alarm played her favourite song.
In the end, Mrs Patel laughed: « So it probably wasn’t a ghost… but I’m still a little scared of that room! »
