cold spots

Unexplained frigid areas

Cold spots are localized areas noticeably colder than their surroundings.

In buildings, they often indicate poor insulation, air leaks, or moisture problems that contractors identify with thermal imaging.

In paranormal investigation, cold spots supposedly signal the presence of ghosts or spirits, the theory being that entities draw heat energy from the environment.

The ghost hunters detected a cold spot near the old fireplace.

The term also appears in physics and cosmology to describe regions of lower temperature in otherwise uniform fields.
