The Hub was haunted even before Lisa killed Doctor Tanizaki and poor Annie. From the moment he'd first set foot in the underground base, Ianto had sensed the unseen presences of long-dead Torchwood agents everywhere in the dimly lit rooms and passageways.
It hadn't surprised him; they were people who had been recruited to Torchwood, lived for Torchwood, and ultimately died for Torchwood, far younger than they might otherwise have done if they'd worked at some other job, never learning about the existence of aliens. With so much of their lives tied up in the place, where else could they go when they died? The Hub probably felt more like home than whatever flat or furnished room they'd rented, more for the sake of appearance than because they spent any amount of time there.
Ianto could relate. He had a flat, small and dingy though it was, where he kept most of his and Lisa's personal belongings. It was barely furnished, just a mattress, a few pans and dishes in the kitchen, a second-hand wardrobe and dresser for his clothes… That was all he needed.
He spent most of his time with Lisa, living a half-life among Torchwood's other ghosts.
