Just moved into new home built in 1897. Records we've located do confirm a family was murdered here in the 40s- robbery gone wrong. However I am not religious or spiritual and don't believe in ghosts.

My grandparents had an old house like this and we decided to name the ghost and periodically give it attention, tell it jokes and about the world... no lie we had conversations with him. Whenever things would go weird we'd just call out his name and ask him to let us relax. Nobody in our house smoked but in our family pictures there was always a Smokey cloud in the shape of a human. My advice, make friends

My husband does. We've both heard a lot of noises I consider to be old house noises and he isn't buying it. Lights cutting on/off randomly (again old house), sound of footsteps (I think it's just the wood adjusting to temperature), disembodied voices (tv? Wind?), cold spots (drafty house), walking into a room we just left to find chairs pulled out from table and things moved on tables (old house, probably just slid from variations in the floor), feeling that there's someone else around when you know you're alone (this one I can't explain and it bothers me honestly). Anyone have any experience calming a family down in this situation? Truthfully it's all a little odd to me too. I'm constantly making excuses for things that don't add up, but it's what I need to do to keep everyone from being emotional about this. Any advice? Besides calling a priest which would exacerbate their beliefs? I want them to understand this is all their imagination.

I will take the earlier suggestion to just go with it. I know it's nothing but perhaps if I make it into a light hearted family joke where we talk to the "ghost" this will blow over. My youngest- 5 years old- already thinks she sees a little boy in the house who's her age and she's named him Joseph. She says "Joseph" lives in her room (?). I sometimes hear her talking to "Joseph" when I'm in my office down the hall. So maybe we can pretend the noises are coming from her imaginary friend Joseph? This is all very silly.

My house was built on an ancient Indian Burial Ground. The Indian Burial Ground was removed so a plot of multi million dollar mansions could be built and sold. We bought the biggest one on top of the hill. All the neighbors complained of citing a of Ghost like Indian figures on the hills at night. One night, my wife woke me up screaming saying an Indian was at our bed side shouting "GET OUT" and so we got up and ran to our car with our son and as we were leaving we saw the entire hillside was on fire. Fire fighters had not yet arrived. I didn't see the ghost Indian at our bedside, but my wife swears she did.....regardless that "ghost" saved our lives. I am not sure I believe in ghosts....my wife drinks a lot and who knows what she really saw...but...this ghost saved us and I wish to thank him/her which is why I am writing this post !
