He's said that this is a song about ghosts and just supernatural experiences in general. I read an article on SPIN.com about it:
"...the song was inspired by a seance he and his friends held with a Ouija board. During the spooky session, a guitar amp in the room started making ghostly noises as the board "made references to a spirit named Gus, who confessed to murdering a girl named Sam," Lionheart told SPIN.com. "A couple of days later, one of the girls [at the Ouija session sit-in] said she was visited in her bedroom by the ghost of Sam. One time I was playing that song at a show, and the lights on the whole block went out. It's haunted."
