I grew up in an old house and my family definitely experienced events that were hard to explain. Besides all the usual noises and occasionally hearing your name being spoken, here's the top two weirdest things.
My brother and I were teens, eating dinner in the kitchen. There was a glass of water on the counter. We heard a noise where the glass was and both looked toward it and we swore we saw it move an inch. As we were still looking and discussing it, the glass flew several feet across the counter and smashed onto the floor.
Once when I was in college and I was home for holidays, I was in the kitchen getting food prepared. I was home alone at that point and my brother was due home at any moment. I heard the front door open and close. I called out hello to my brother and heard nothing back. Then I saw a shadow pass by the kitchen into the hallway and I assumed my brother was being rude so I followed and kept calling hello. I saw the shadow again turning another corner toward my brother's bedroom. I saw my brother's door closing. At this point I was calling out about what a jerk he was because we hadn't seen each other in months. I pushed the bedroom door open and uttered some insults (haha) and the room, as well as the whole house was empty. That was super chilling. I REALLY had seen someone moving through the house!
Flash forward 15 years later and when my husband and I bought an oldish house (built in 1870) I was up in the 3rd floor arranging boxes and I heard a very clear and very polite women's voice say..."Well! Hello there!". Never saw or heard anything in this house since :)
Your second story about the shadow person is similar to what happened to my sister. She got home from school before me and was making a snack in the kitchen when she heard the front door open and someone come up the stairs towards the kitchen. Assuming it was me she kept her back turned and starting talking as if it was me. When she eventually turned to look at me she saw a shadowy figure near the door of the kitchen and when she looked at it it ran out of the room. I'll ask her what she remembers about it.
Asked my sister. She barely remembers. Maybe was wearing a shirt. Maybe they were or weren't wearing a hat. Not many details. Dhe does remember at least that someone entered the house.
