Help me understand the going's on in my house..
Last year me and my husband were both stood talking to each in the upstairs landing and the bathroom taps (sink) turned on by themselves. Told myself it was a delayed pressure thing and didn't think about it anymore.
The Saturday before Christmas I was home alone and decorating my staircase for Christmas, Took a picture of the staircase and heard my sons door creek open (strange because he has a really thick rug so his door is really stiff to open and close) seconds after I heard it open it forcefully slammed shut, like someone had booted it.
I completely shit myself and run out of the house, saw neighbour in the front garden and she come and checked my house with me.. no one else home, all windows closed.
And then yesterday.. Me and my DH were getting our coats on in the downstairs hallway before work and we both turned around together, the door knob to my front door was rattling (like someone wiggling a key back and forth. Left the house and I got in the car while he was putting stuff in the boot..
I was staring at my house, we have a porch that was lit up (just to add this was very early still dark outside) So sat there maybe 30 seconds just staring ahead from the driveway and I saw the outline of a hand press up on the porch door.
I'm aware this sounds unbelievable but I know what I saw.
Anyone had similar, why would we out of the blue have a sodding ghost?!?

Taps will indeed have just been delayed pressure, ignore that one.

Door thing is hard to give a black & white answer, but there are a lot of variables -- are you sure it was that door and not others? Were any windows open? Was there anyone elsewhere in the house (opening a door somewhere else can cause one to shut)? Is it a detached, semi, terrace, flat...? Not necessarily worrying in itself.

Door handle thing can be explained...by the hand! I'd say not a ghost though. Someone was trying your front door. Not good. Make sure you're locking up well and consider a Ring doorbell.

Definitely a ghost, what other explanation is there? Especially your sons stiff door slamming shut.

It's just house stuff. Picture being a ghost. You could travel anywhere, see anyone, do anything, probably wouldn't be creepy unless you were a creep etc
Would you be pissing about with people's taps and mimicking wind as as to meddle with door knobs?

Ask it politely to leave you alone & sage the house
