Ghosts

So I’ve been in the house all day on my own today, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the house must be haunted. There’s always something in motion or making a noise; yet when you pop downstairs to take a look, there’s nobody there. Some people say that this is just the house settling; but what exactly does that mean? It’s not as if it’s been out for an afternoon jog after lunch and is preparing for forty winks. But there are plausible explanations. Everything is vibrating to some degree. Water needs to flow, pipes need to be pumped and there are people outside too. But it’s the odd garage door closing or the car door slamming that makes the sound so close in the house; that it makes you think that someone else is here. It’s definitely something that you don’t want to think about when you’re on your own.
