I've also had a few strange experiences in my home, mostly with objects completely disappearing from their proper place for at least 24 hours (2 weeks, in one case). The whole family would search the house for the missing item, especially in the area where the item belonged, but would turn up nothing. Then just as mysteriously, it would show up exactly where it was supposed to have been all along.
Our "ghost" also liked to lock and unlock doors. Once a door I know I had closed and locked was standing open just a few minutes later. There was no one in the house but me.
Also, about 18 years ago, when my children were very small and we lived in an apartment (I was separated from my husband at the time), I was trying to get my oldest child ready for bed (he was about 3 years old). I was brushing his teeth and he kept trying to talk. He was kind of excited and he was saying, "The man won't get mommy's shoes". That sent a chill up my spine! I said, "What man"? He said, "The man who's messing up his hair and playing with mommy's shoes - he won't get mommy's shoes". Well - nevermind about my shoes! I grabbed the kids and went to a neighbor's apartment. She called her boyfriend, who was a security guard for the complex, and he came right over to check it out - nothing, of course. There was also "locked door" incident in that apartment - I never bothered deadbolting the front door, but only locked the bottom portion of the door instead. One day I got home to find it deadbolted. Mind you, I lived there alone with my two small children who were with me, so no one else could have done it. Again, the security guard came over to check my place - nothing out of place at all.
But the weirdest thing is the lights - our "ghost" liked to turn on lights, and sometimes right in front of you! I remember one time in the last year or two, when my alarm went off in the morning, instead of hitting the snooze alarm as I had intended, I had unknowingly turned the alarm off. I had gone in to use the bathroom, and after leaving the bathroom to go back to bed, I turned off the bathroom light. I took one or two steps towards the bed, when the light switch turned back on with an audible "click"! I decided he was trying to tell me something and immediately realized I had turned the alarm off instead of hitting the snoozer. Once I rectified the situation, everything was back to normal.
I haven't heard anything from our ghost since that last incident, so I'm not sure if he's even around anymore. I kind of miss the guy, to tell you the truth.
