No. There's a link between electromagnetic fields and hauntingesque hallucinations. They've actually created a chamber in Manitoba, I think, that generates these fields to induce various hallucinations, including those frequently associated with hauntings.

Whether or not electromagnetic fields open the mind to what is already there, or cause hallucinations in the brain is confounded, but given that the chamber can also induce auditory hallucinations, such as ambulance sirens and restaurant chatter, I'm going to stick with the latter.

Mary Roach's "Spook" is a great book, either way.
