Haunted house scaring the shit out of me

Deliberately OTT title and I’m not into the paranormal but I’m getting freaked out in my house.

We’ve lived here 10 years. The house is only 20 years old. Built on marsh land.

A year or so after we moved in weird shit started happening. Stuff moving around, noises, dog going nuts in certain rooms, doors opening by themselves etc. DH got freaked out by it and started getting angry at me everytime I mentioned it. He outright refused to discuss it but admitted he had seen and heard the same stuff as me.

Then it all stopped. Nothing happened for years. All good.

Then, a couple of weeks ago I was messing on my phone and behind me I saw a shadow go past in the hallway out of the corner of my eye and heard it brush along the wall. The dog (different dog) flew over me barking and growling, all heckles raised. Back door was locked, there was no way anyone could have got in without me (or the dog) hearing the front door. I sent the dog around the whole house - nothing at all. I put it to the back of my mind but ever since the noises have started up again - footsteps on the first floor, doors opening and closing, muffled voices

DH has heard it too and is laughing it off saying the ghost is back but he too is randomly sending the dog into rooms and upstairs before him and telling me not to be stupid when I mention it. It’s seriously starting to freak me out.

It happened again 10 minutes ago … the sound of the floorboards creaking upstairs in the pattern of footsteps - DH looked up and muted the TV - then the sound of something being moved. I said “You’re not telling me you didn’t hear that?” And he said “I’m not getting into this shit again” and turned the TV up.

it’s a detached house, we don’t have neighbours. WTF is it??

bunsnroses. People, be they witches or not were never “hung” - they were HANGED. Only pictures and meat are ever hung.

And my husband.

OP my advice is move asap.your relationship is under stress and either there is a spirit or a problem with the house. If you explore the house problem side much more then you'll possibly need to declare it to new buyers. Shit for them but I'd expect them to get a survey.

Yes, but you have form for perceiving things which aren't there 😀

This is not true, is it? I have never once claimed to have seen a ghost or had a supernatural encounter.

But don't let the facts get in the way of your prejudices.

I used to work in property, I was an estate agent for a few years and often got the feeling of not being alone in certain houses.

One particular property had a doorway in the lounge that led to the cellar.
I got a very uneasy feeling just walking in that place and would not stand with my back to that door and would certainly not show people down the cellar. I also got the same feeling in the bathroom. The feeling was general unease and something being there with me.

Another old 5 bed house (on a really expensive road) used to have one bedroom locked. I was told not to go in there, again, this gave me a very uneasy feeling when I was there alone. I often used to do block bookings so would often turn up at 9am and not leave till 5.30pm. Funnily enough, Anne Diamond once told a story about a house in the same road, and I often wonder if it was the same house. (google Anne Diamond ghost story, its bloody chilling).
