Strange question about haunted house?

Ah, sounds like what I've had before. I've heard the footsteps in other houses. I've heard them here, although they're not heard very frequently at all. Yes, the elusive prankster, my biggest problem was it taking my mustard when I'd make sandwiches (would show back up once the kitchen was clean and we'd eaten already), and the orbs, yes to that as well. We had an orange one, looked like a cherry of a cigar, would happen both day and night. When my daughters were young, they thought it was Tinkerbell. My dogs would jump at it. It would be in one room, "play" around a little, go out the door and down the hall, and disappear. This was before laser lights were around, BTW. I think they're just spirits of some sort, harmless, as is the rest of your problems. It wouldn't hurt to contact some paranormal investigators around your area to come check things out. If these things bother you, simply telling it to stop usually helps. Sounds like something is trying to get your attention. You can acknowledge it, the events may slow down then.
