Yes some of the little critters can be cheeky like that.  The ones I have encountered have never had evil intentions though but they love to have fun and see if they can scare you or your visitors... or make you think you are absent minded by moving stuff.

I remember one day we were at my older sisters.  They had already warned us they had overstayers and usually they would come and make heaps of ruckus.  Well they were turning lights on and off slamming cupboard doors and it only made us laugh.  The more we laughed the angrier they got.  In the end they gave up.  

There are those though that do not give up and can disturb a peaceful sleep.  Then you just send them on their merry way.

Sometimes a house that appears haunted is not haunted but it has residual energy from previous occupants.  Depending on how strong the energy of the previous occupant/s was/were it can linger for a while but really have no substance if you know what I mean.  Just like when you walk in to a room when someone has been arguing.  The energy is thick like you can cut it with a knife and make a sandwich out of it.  Same sort of thing with residual energy.

[quote="swetha"]Have you ever been to a haunted house? or do you believe your house  has ever been haunted ?? is it in positive or the negative sense? I have come across 2-3 such places, where people refuse to go near these places!! Maybe we were kids then, and it didnt make much sense to us.. but maybe i think there may be more to it than just stories?[/quote]
hey swetha,
the last house i lived in was totally haunted.
i managed in the end to find out an old lady lived and died there on the day we moved out.
i guess your standed random things happened. noises on other rooms, depressions on my sons cot, feeling something grab my ankle in bed(that one kinda freaked me out a bit)
one time my two girlfriends came over to cut my hair and were having an argument about what they were going to do when suddenly a stack of magazine type books lands on the floor just next to my feet. my freind mel who had a sense for these kind of things was like 'ok ...we'll shut up'
ive also been in a few haunted places so if you want to hear any more strories ive got a few to share.
take care

The house I just moved into seems to have paranormal activity. It is an attatched house and the neighbors told us that both sides were haunted. I have been living here for a year and a half and have not seen anything,But strange things do occur. Footsteps in the upstairs bedrooms, doors locking by themselves, people talking, etc. The old haunted house stuff. My daughter told us that she seen a lady walking in the hallway and did not know her awhile back. I am still investigating the occurances and trying to get some answers, if there are any.

hi ghostlyknight,
do you ever feel anything inside your house. like someones standing next to or behind you? back in my old placeas soon as we walked into the house we new, but you can usually tell if theres negative issues or not. my partners brother once saw a white figure in the hallway coming out of our bedroom once but never saw anything. i always felt stuff though.

Hi Narf,

   Yes, a few times I have felt uneasy,like someone was in the house with me. But it was not a bad feeling. Funny, I just remembered that about a week ago I went to close my bedroom door, it felt like something held the door open so I could not close it. I told my wife and she said it was my imagination, but it wasn't. There was nothing blocking the door from closing. The hunt is on. LOL
