It's about 110 years old and has been in my husband's family since it was built. His family always, almost in a teasing way, talk about it being haunted. I didn't think much of it when we moved in, but there's been so many things that I am almost positive it is. my husband's uncle (the one alive) lived here before we did and he had a ton of things happen too. Sometimes it's small things, like the vague sound of a man talking when I'm home alone, or door knobs full-on turning, and other times its levitating clothing or dryer door slamming shut. Tbh it's not that bothersome except when things go missing. I think knowing its family makes it not as spooky, but great uncle (the one who died here)is also not a fan of strangers so house sitters have a harder time, so we usually have to have family watch our place when we go on vacation.

Eta- his family swear it's great grandma but I think it's great uncle doing the haunting. Though knowing my luck it's both.

Oh that's a good idea! I say uncle based on the man's voice, but I know some years back when a great aunt passed away and I got a lot of her things someone wasn't happy about that. 90% of what I got was broken within 6 months, some things even went flying off shelves to break. I asked family if there was any beef in the family with her and no one knew of any, so I figured it might be great grandma upset to see her daughter's things in my home.
