In the immortal words of Stan Lee. “It’s a story, it depends on what the writer decides.”
What if they’re haunting the physical location and not just the building? I’ll have to check the ghost handbook.
If the ghosts are of ded contemporary physicists they’re probably haunting the region of space that our solar system occupied in the galaxy when they died.
Depends what reference frame they died in. If it’s inertial, they’ll be in an orbit, and will spend most of their time falling through the Earth’s deep interior. Occasionally, they’ll surface.
Moral: Don’t be a physicist.
Let me know what you find
It depends on how quickly each piece is replaced. It takes some time for the ghost to attach to new boatds and beams. And thats of course not considering haunted indian burial grounds, creepy mirrors or goth chicks moving in, that yhrows the calculations way off.
I mean goth chicks moving in would likely accelerate the attachment rate by 100 fold for horny teenage boy ghosts, but likely increase the attachment time by 1000 fold for old widow ghosts.
New ghost busting method: just keep replacing floorboards one at a time until you find the one that the ghost is attached to, then send it to landfill.
I heard a ghost story about a college dorm that caught on fire and burned to the ground. The school rebuilt it but the floors were spaced differently so the ghost would appear at the old floor’s level. So half a ghost popping up through the floor or little ghost legs popping down for the ceiling.
It seems to me that ghost location is relative to sea level. Maybe they attach to the closest neat rock in the case of a fire. Anyway, tumbling them for several weeks seems to detach the ghosts because my rock collection shows no signs of apparitions.

Do you know if they use Swiss or German sea level?
If you give the new pieces enough marinating time for the ghosts to penetrate them, then no. Of course marination time depends on the density of the material you are replacing and potency of the ghost.
For example, a hardwood floor with a benign Casper like presence probably will need a few centuries, whereas insulation foam with something more akin to the demon from the exorcist needs a few weeks. Times and temperatures will also vary by altitude and local climate and alignment to laylines.
Professional ghostbuster right there
Are they attached to the physical house or to the idea of the house?
And do we see Platonic ghosts themselves, or just their shadow?
Depends. Did you replace the hidden summoning place or the Indian burial ground, too?
ghosts are like fungus in the timber, sure you can replace every part one-by-one and they go away, but miss one and the smell won’t go out and re-infect the whole house. so it’s not really worth it.
Ghost stories are about haunted and damaged people. Not actual ghosts. So no, the individual/s being haunted would still be haunted.
ghost stories are mostly about microorganisms that people couldn’t see before microscopes were invented.
I’m sure some are about carbon monoxide.
Most ghost stories I’ve read have been about haunted places and haunted things
According to the documentary “Ghosts”, the inhabitants of Button House are unable to leave the area. Despite some of tfem predating the house.
There are no ghosts.
Isn’t that exactly what a ghost would say?! 😯
You’re right. Booooooooooooooooo!
It depends on the type of haunting, and also what’s keeping them there. In my experience they could be attached to anything from an entire room to a single item, like a matchbook. In any case usually a good fire and total demolition of said location would be best.
I had an interesting experience in an abandoned residential school I broke into with my friends when I was a teenager. The first time I went, we broke down the barricades nailed over the windows, and once inside found it to be full of old classroom stuff. There were tons of spooky moments we all collectively shared from that night (feeling like someone was watching us from different class rooms, a dense and fearful energy in the cages found in the basement, a super ominous feeling in the small crawlspace, and voices heard in hallways etc) I decided to return with my friends after about 6 times, but the second time around it would seem far more people broke in, a lot more barriers were torn down, a lot of classroom items taken. that second time none of the intense energies seemed to be there,.almost like the place hollowed out I’m not sure obviously if it was just Me less scared of the place coming back the second time, but I do feel like I have some extra sensory perception, and it was honestly really interesting to feel the difference in vibes, almost like when more people entered and took more stuff, the energies left through the open windows and broken down doors along with them.
Since ghosts aren’t real and were never there to begin with, they can’t really “go away”, so I’m going to say no.
Boooo
