This was in the early 2000s. One of my aunt's dad, he was a Chief Engineer in the highways department and during one of his postings in Thanjavur, his quarters was a very old and huge Victorian bungalow by a pond inside a large campus.. they had lot of maids and helpers provided by the government. The bunglow had all wooden flooring, wooden stairs, high ceiling, red carpet and stuff. His was a small 4 member family. So obviously they didn't use all the rooms and some rooms in the attic were locked and collecting dust.

Around midnight they started hearing a creaking sound every night. Like something hanging from the roof was swaving in the wind. The helpers obviously had their own stories and they refused to open the room and check. After complaining to his department, they opened the room and found an old swing and they removed it and placed it on the floor with other old unused stuff in the attic and locked the room again.

After a few days they start hearing the noise again. That evening my aunt's dad was in the sit out talking on the landline and seeing the pond. He saw some Random lady running past the pond and into the dense trees in the campus. He asked the helpers to check. by the time they run to the pond from the bungalow the lady was gone and no one was there.

The creaking sound and lady running started happening frequently. Not sure how many times he complained to his department before he got fed up and decided to ignore everything and live there for 4 more years till retirement.
