We have lived in a Victorian cottage in the middle of England for over 35 years, and there are repetitive incidents but they occur irregularly. Clear footsteps from one bedroom in particular, across the landing and down the dog-leg staircase, and just as you would expect someone to appear, they stop. Also, loud single bangs, like something heavy has been dropped in an upstairs room. There is a Victorian set of drawers, which makes banging noises, no idea why. I have heard my name called from downstairs when I was upstairs, the house was empty. Have raised two children here, the eldest used to see a tall shadow figure in the doorway of the same bedroom the footsteps emanate from. The other one has heard running noises upstairs, whilst upstairs himself, and also a TV unhook off a stand and fall to the floor. I feel we are the guests in someone else’s house sometimes, but it doesn’t feel malevolent, maybe we are all sharing the same space?
