My sister's had the usual range of goings on (sudden drafts, power flickers, all the candles in the room simultaneously going out, the usual), but the one that sticks in my memory is the one that convinced my sceptical step-sister: She was convinced that someone else at the table was moving the glass, when suddenly it rotated under everyone's fingers. Bear in mind that everyone has only one index finger on the glass, so that's pretty damn hard to do.
The freakiest stories came from the family of an ex-girlfriend - In one case, on asking to whom they were communicating, the air pressure in the room suddenly dropped and it got very cold... One of them supposedly felt a strong hand on their shoulder, panicked and knocked the glass off the table, at which point the entire house lost power. Every single person in the room just got up and ran.
There was another story that involved a similar story (the glass falling off the table and breaking), but in that case the table itself allegedly reared up on two of its four legs and walked about 4 feet towards the door, but I'm taking that one with a grain of salt...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER: Bear in mind that the two latter stories have an additional degree of separation from myself, so I can't make any guarantees for their accuracy. They were told to me as fact, and I've relayed them to the best of my memory. The stories told to me by my sister I believe 100%.
If anyone has a strong feeling that any or all of these stories are a steaming load of crap, feel free to keep that to yourself. A degree of scepticism is necessary to survive in life, but I will not accept "there's no such thing as ghosts" as a valid rebuttal to any accounts such as these. Blind scepticism is no fun at all.
Aside from that stuff, the house I grew up in was quite old, and the original part of the house (as opposed to the extensions that were added in the 70s and 80s) always had a very odd feel that my sister and I were aware of. On some nights, it could even be pinned down to the exact doorway that led to this section of the house, the hairs would stand up on the back of your neck as you walked through.
An ex-girlfriend (not the one referenced in the quote above, a different one) claimed to have seen the ghost of an elderly woman in the front room, and the couple of times I slept in the old dining room yielded some of the worst nightmares I've ever had. Very strange.
