Are they drawn to it after all?

I'm quite a fan of paranormal and horror stuff myself. After becoming a working adult, I decided to declutter my room for a certain reason. Back then, I was collecting tons of 'Honkowa' (really scary stories) and paranormal magazines and manga, piling them up in my closet. After I threw them all away at once, I felt like the air in the closet somehow improved (perhaps due to humidity). I've heard that negative things are attracted to certain energies, and maybe it was the closet packed with paranormal and horror content that was drawing them in.
