Really scared
This was about 4 years ago in our old house. This house is 140 years old and there have been alot of people living in it over the years. It was always a bit weird - the large mirror (2ft x 3ft) came of the wall three times, including just jumping six inches off the wall and not breaking when it landed on the solid slate floor and also seeing a person standing in my bedroom doorway with my then 2 year old daughter (she was there, the person wasn't). That last sight was quite peaceful - just got the feeling that they were watching over her, not harmful at all.

Anyway, it was a Sunday night and Mr Scaredy-cat was out at a quiz with his gormless chums and I was expecting him back about 11 pm. Now the layout of the house meant that if the back door was open and the front door was opened (only by key) all the doors in the house would slam shut. It was a summer night and so the back door was still providing a welcome draught. 11 pm comes, the front door opens, all the doors in the house slam too, footsteps up the stairs (quick bathroom visit needed?) and then ... nothing, no Mr Scaredy-cat .

Left it 15 minutes to allow for bathroom privacy, went upstairs to check that Mr Scaredy-cat hadn't drowned in the toilet and Mr S-C wasn't home. He didn't come home for another 30 minutes by which time I was having kittens over the strange noises heard earlier.

Luckily it never happened again and the house we are in now (a 'new' house of only 100 years old) has been very peaceful.
