I read a comment from another person on a video about the closet: "There is large square opening to the attic. The sunlight was shining through the roof up there. The door is affected by the suction from the attic." Did you see this attic? This sounds like a reasonable possibility.
@GratedTopping Oh yeah, I never thought of that suction, but you're right! The attic door is just right outside that bedroom. I don't think the windows can open in the attic, but yes, there still would be a suction. Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I ever go back!
I noticed holes in the wall when you looked inside; could they possibly be a cause for the door opening (a draft coming in)? In the room opposite the closet, was there a window open in there or holes in the wall, too?
@GratedTopping There was a window right across from the closet door. I think you can see it in the video. My friend in the video pointed out there was a small breeze coming in, but at the times she could feel it, the door wasn't moving. Also, the floors are really old and moved, but that also didn't cause the door to move everytime. It's definitely worth going back and debunking further...we were really limited on time, otherwise we would have kept trying to debunk it. Thanks for your input!
@windyseashores Yes, I saw the window in the same room. I was wondering if there was a window in the next room that could have possibly been opened & if a breeze was coming from that and then through possible holes inside the closet. If so, maybe a breeze from the other room was opening the door and a bit of a breeze in the room with the closet was making it close?
It was said that it was a light door. It was neat to watch and theorize about other possible explanations.
@GratedTopping Yes, there was another window in the other room, almost straight from that closet door. We were kind of wondering the same thing. The window was closed in the other room, but we did not check that window for any drafts, just the one in the bedroom. I wish we would have thought to check the other one. That is another possibility. Thanks again!
