"I do believe in ghosts. Freaky things will happen, and I'm like, 'The wind didn't do that! Some spirit did'"
About this Quote
“Freaky things” is intentionally vague, the kind of catchall that invites the audience to project their own paranormal moment without getting pinned down on details. Then comes the punch: “The wind didn’t do that!” It’s funny because it’s the most common, boring rational explanation and he rejects it with a childlike certainty. The subtext isn’t “I have proof,” it’s “I’ve felt something, and I’m choosing wonder over debunking.” That choice reads as emotional self-defense as much as spiritual curiosity: calling it “some spirit” gives random unease a narrative, and narrative is comforting.
As an actor known from Nickelodeon-era nostalgia, Werkheiser’s tone matters. He’s not selling occult expertise; he’s selling relatability. The line functions like a cultural handshake with audiences raised on Ghost Hunters, creepypasta threads, and TikTok “haunted apartment” clips: you don’t need evidence, you need a story that lands. In an age where irony is often the default, his earnestness becomes the hook.
