Very creepy story! I don't know if there are such things as ghosts since I have never seen one although I have experienced a few unexplainable things. I have a strong science background so I look at things very analytically. However, there are some things that are difficult to explain rationally.
My brother & I once stayed in a mansion for a few months which belonged to a friend's uncle. This 4 level tudor style house was built in the 1920's. I always felt uneasy in the office and the adjacent living room. One time while I was downstairs, I heard footsteps over my head. I looked at the ceiling & could hear 4-5 footsteps, spaced about a foot apart, going in a straight line. The wooden floor in the hall in front of the living room creaked with each step. I looked at my friend who was also looking at the ceiling. We thought someone broke in so we both ran upstairs & checked all the doors. They were all locked!
My brother did not believe me and said that they were old pipes making the noise.
About 2 months later, my mother dropped by and heard loud footsteps originating on the third floor by the bedrooms. The house was sold about 2 months later. One night my brother & I turned off the alarm & went in to do some cleaning before the new owners moved in. I was downstairs and my brother was in the hall in front of the living room. He heard loud stomping over his head on the third floor in front of the bedrooms. So during a period of 4 months, 4 people have heard footsteps.
My room on the third floor, above the office, always felt cold. If I walked out of the room, the cold feeling disappeared. I always slept with 2 comforters on while my brother in the next room was never cold. I also felt a cold draft over my head while I lay in bed reading a book. I looked around since it was very strange but did not see anything. All the windows were closed.
On another occaision, while I worked on the computer, I heard something bouncing inside the wall next to me. I sounded like a golf ball bouncing between the studs. An hour later, I went downstairs & heard the same sound in the wall below my room.
Several months after the house was sold, the friend called me and said that the house burned down. I picked up a newspaper which had a photo of the house and the heading, "Mystery Fire Burns Down Mansion."
Are there ghosts in the house? Difficult to say since I have not seen one. Is there paranormal activity? Maybe, since I would not consider the footsteps, cold feeling, noise in the walls something that would happen in a "normal" house. All I can say is that there are some strange things that happened which was experienced by several people and is difficult to explain.

Just don't think we'd ever agree here.
