I know the feeling of living in a place where strange things happen! I moved all alone to a city over 4 hours away from my hometown. It was a top-floor apartment in what seemed like an old army barracks. I didn't feel comfortable from the first day I walked in. In fact, I called my parents and cried about how I didn't want to live there! My mom decided to come down the next weekend and help me find a new place to live. In that first week, there was creaking, there was water running... I tried to explain everything away. I was having a nap one day in the middle of the afternoon with my bedroom door closed tight (I made sure) and I woke up to the door bursting open. My window was open in my room so I said it was wind. There was no wind at all outside, but it made me feel better.
My mom doesn't believe in that kind of thing at all. When she came down she spent the night on the couch, with the bathroom light on and the door open a crack so she could find her way there if she needed to. She woke up and noticed the sliver of light getting larger and smaller... the door was opening and closing on its own. She finally got the courage to get up and turn the light off so she could sleep. In the morning she told me "There's something not right about this place" and I moved out 2 weeks later, after spending a few nights in a hotel room!
