One afternoon last week, I was home with the girls. DD1 was doing her homework with me at the table and DD2 was doing her music practice. Then .. in the midst of some quietness, I heard some drawers being opened/closed. Nobody else was home.

I got up from where we were seated and went looking. I walked into DD2's bedroom and some of the drawers were opened. I even walked back to check DDs were where I thought they were and then proceeded to check every room to make sure nobody was in the house with us.

Now, where we were previously (a post war home), I was convinced we shared the space with something. Guests quite often felt spooked and my sister refused to come over at night, unless we were home. On occasion I even thought I saw things. The cats went beserk in one room of the house.
And before that, we lived in a townhouse where some really spooky things happened (like the sound of DD2 crying in her bedroom in the middle of the night, but was actually cosleeping with us at the time; and blinds in the master bedroom all swinging in one direction one night)

These incidents have certainly raised hairs on my neck, but I have never felt unsafe IYKWIM?

Do you have strange happenings in your place? Do these strange things (beings?) travel with you or are they location-specific? Do you feel threatened or scared by these things?

brrrr the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up reading your post!

One place I lived several strange things happened, such as candles being lit, mail being moved and TVs being turned on - though never threatening or scary so we named that ghost - Casper!

I also lived in a very old flat in Edinburgh and one night my mum was staying and something sang direct into her ear!

We have a small stereo in our bedroom and it often comes on by itself at random times. The first time it happened I thought DH was being silly and hiding the remote and turning it on as a joke, but he wasn't. Sometimes it comes on when we are both in bed about to go to sleep at night, other times it has come on when I am the only one in the house. Once quite recently I was on the other side of the room when it suddenly came on. I walked over and turned it off, a couple of seconds later it came back on, I turned it off, it came back on, over and over. I got my phone out and started filming it and it came back on about a dozen times after me switching it off while I was recording. Then I played the video back and it showed me turning it off the first time and then the recording ended! Somehow my 2 or 3 minutes of recording was only about 30 seconds on replay!

I often find things have been moved around the place with no explanation. But rather than ghosts, my immediate thought is that someone is in the house with us. I have been known to search every room before going to bed "just in case" especially when DH is out. I have even made him search in the ceiling cavity once because I thought it was totally plausible that someone could be hiding up there and coming down through the man hole while we were out

I am learning to avoid most noises now though, as we now have cats and they are always up to something The stereo though I can not explain!

aChoclover your experiences sound very spooky!!!

one of my brothers had a spooky experience - he went back to the house at night that he shared with my brother who passed away the day before and he kept hearing cupboards shut, doors slamming etc (this was a very large house with alot of crawl spaces) he was freaked out and went to leave through the same glass sliding door he had left unlocked when he went inside but he couldn't slide it open as he went to go out another door his gf who was waiting in the car managed to open the door without any trouble.
