Do you think your house is haunted?

No because I don't believe in ghosts.
I used to work the overnight shift in a building that had been a farmhouse that was older than the country.
There were several times when a client would come into the office and ask who "that man was" that they saw elsewhere in the house, and I was the only man there, the outside doors were locked, and the alarm was on.
Other staff saw an old woman near the main fireplace in the old living room, but they only saw her in the winter. Which makes sense. "back in the day" it was the housewife's job to make sure the fire didn't go out.
Once I was working on the lights in the storeroom in the basement and something kept messing around with my toolbox. I got tired of it and simply explained to them what I was doing and said that I'd finish up and get out of their hair as soon as I could.
There were also reports of clients and staff hearing a baby crying like it was sick. When there were no children in the place.
We called them "the unpaid night shift".
The director dismissed all reports of that night shift, because he only worked days, until he walked in one morning and saw the old woman standing in what had been the farmhouse's kitchen. "She looked as real as any woman I'd ever seen. She stood there, looked at me, then she looked away, and vanished," he said several times.
He didn't put that in his monthly report to the board.

You always feel a shadow in the dark, but wait, it's not a haunted house, it's just the cat at home. 
i dont know i only know a guy got murdered front of my apartment last year :/
The house I grew up in was haunted but the house I live in today is not. I am very thankful and never want to live in a haunted house again.
