How do you tell if a cold area in a house is a cold spot? Is there a certain temperature that all cold spots are?

Cold spots can vary from a few degrees to 60 degrees below ambient temperature. Are all cold spots paranormal? No. When you find a cold spot investigate it from all angles, look for an explainable cause. A lot of ghost hunters use infrared thermometers which can only read surface temperatures. This is a nice tool but you should also carry and use one that measures ambient temperatures also.

Thank you for that reply. I am also wondering how much would one infared thermometer cost?

You can go to harborfreight and they offer a few one non contact with a laser for $19.99 or a better non contact infrared for 39.99.
