To attempt to add value (?) to this thread, however, I lived in a fraternity house in college for 2+ years that had a history of "encounters". I never saw or heard anything while I lived there, but some officially creepy and hard-to-explain stuff went on in that house. I personally knew many of the people involved in the encounters and I fully believe that they believed something unexplained was going on. It was an old house (an actual residential house) that we rented from an old lady in town.

A few of the stories:

A guy wakes up one morning (~spring time) and it is so cold in his room that he can see his breath. He figures something is wrong with the heat in the house (not uncommon) and doesn't think much of it. He gets ready for class and as he walks out the door realizes it's warm outside (way too warm to see your breath).

This same guy in the same room was woken up one night to the sound of his refrigerator door (in his room) opening and slamming repeatedly. He sat there and stared at it opening and closing. There was no one else in the room.

Several of the guys that lived on the second floor would have the same dream at night and wake up, go out into the hall to only find the other guys standing there (that's when they found out they were having the same dream). This happened more than once.

One guy was studying one night (late - everyone else was asleep) and he was picked up by something and held against the wall and couldn't move. He said that he could feel "hot breath" all over him. Once he was released, he ran out of the house. He never went into the house again (and ended up quitting the fraternity). Never - other people had to get his stuff out. I talked to him about this about two years after it happened and he was still freaked out - would not go back in the house.

As I mentioned, we rented this house from an old lady. We had to take the rent check over to her every month (this was the olden days) She lived in the house as a little girl. She was very quiet, but one time when one of the older brothers was dropping off the check, she said that when she lived in the house, they used to hear noises in the basement. She said that it scared her so much she slept with a gun in her room. She said one night, it really got to her and so she got up and fired the gun down through the floor of her bedroom into the basement below. Her bedroom was the room that we used as the "TV room". We were replacing the carpet in there one year and found the bullet holes.

I have more stories that get even creepier...
