Actually, I can tell you from personal experience that that's not true :D
Maaany years ago, when I was a teenager, I was heading for the bathroom... and when I began to open the door, I heard a loud growl . My mother heard it too... her reaction was to grab a huge kitchen knife and open the bathroom door...
Of course, there were no monsters in there... it was a piece of plastic stuck under the door that was scraping against the stone floor :D :D :D
Your house/home is something you need to protect... it's where you sleep, where you're supposed to be safe. It's where all your possessions are. You probably have a job nearby. You can't just leave it all behind. In the case of "haunted house" movies, I think it's a natural instinct to say "there's something on my house, I need to protect it!".
