Cold spot

A localized drop in temperature that some people associate with paranormal activity.

Cold spots are often reported as sudden chill in one area of a room. Drafts, insulation gaps, and HVAC can produce the same feeling.

If you log one, note room layout, open windows, and thermometer readings when you can — not only how it felt.
