Seems like things in my house goes in spurts. The house is newer, when I first moved in there were a lot of strange noises that gradually diminished..noises like snapping sounds, the sound of change being dropped on the dresser as I'm laying in bed. We had neighbors over and we heard the kids running around upstairs which was odd, they were several streets over playing. I went upstairs to check, but no one was there.
My oldest daughter rarely slept in her room when she was living here. She would close her closet door firmly, but it would often be open in the morning. Nothing is wrong with her closet door to make it open on its own. We have a balcony that overlooks the family room, all of us at one time or another has had the feeling that someone is watching us from up there.
Several nights ago my daughter and I were sitting in the family room and we heard the oddest noise from upstairs. It's hard to describe, but it was like a whooshing sound, like a strong wind was blowing down the hallway (remember the balcony, we can hear and see everything up there) and there was a creaking noise like footsteps make in an older house with hardwood floors, except our floors upstairs are carpeted and the house is firmly built so that the floors don't creak. The dogs even heard it. They both sat up on full alert and were looking up at the balcony. I checked outside, and it was perfectly calm. I went upstairs, no windows were open and if that had been some kind of wind, my door which was open just a crack would have been sucked shut.
later on that night, we heard a door softly open and close from up there.
finally, last night my youngest daughter and I were over at my oldest daughters until about 830. On the way home I called my husband who didn't know I was out. He said he had called our house about 730 and someone had clearly picked up, but didn't say anything. *shivers*..I was like great! Now we have to go in the house by ourselves! But it was fine. Nothing was out of place and we didn't hear anything strange last night.
so odd, like I said, this is a newer house, now about 9 years old, but despite that we are the 3rd owners on a street that basically has had no turnovers with the other houses. No, I don't think anyone was driven out of here because nothing that scary has happened, but its still rather strange.
