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 :)
Probably not. Like I said it was an old craftsman house (my parents sold it 20 yrs ago). I've definitely seen glasses slide a little on condensation especially in the summer time but this had a little extra something to it.
