Have you ever experienced any type of paranormal activity in your house?

A girlfriend of mine has just recently moved into a new rental property. We have recently learnt that the area she now lives is apparently renowned for haunting. The suburb was the first point of settlement upon during colonisation and is therefore the oldest suburb in our city.

She has been complaining that she feels frequently uneasy in her new home which has never happened before. She has reported hearing strange noises (foot-steps, door closing, creaking,) has had items move around the house or has had items disappear for days at a time, which then show up again in places she swears she had checked. She also said that she often has strange thoughts that randomly pop into her head, which have nothing to do with what she is doing at the present time.

Whilst she considers herself to be a sceptic when it comes to ghosts, spirits and paranormal activity, she is struggling to find an explanation as to what is happening. The poor thing keeps trying to tell herself that it’s all in her head but has now become quite frightened.

I just wondered if anyone had any similar experiences they could share to shed some light on the issue. What happened to you and what did you do?
