So when I was a kid the house next to my parents' was empty for a while and being adventurous some of the neighborhood kids discovered that the pet door was a way in. It became a bit of a hangout for a little while.
Two things happened:
1) the house like many others in the neighborhood (same builder) had a laundry chute from the main floor to the basement. It had a hook and latch on it and it would stay unlatched. It was remarkably consistent. We'd latch it and go upstairs and then within 30 minutes it would be unlatched. It happened plenty of times that we were certain no one else had been downstairs.
2)I personally didn't witness this, but late like midnight 1am steps would travel down the hallway from the living room to the room at the end of the hall (past the master suite). Nothing to see, but steps went right by the open doorway.
The details were covered up from us, but there had been a murder in that house some decades prior and that was our best guess.
