I never put much stock into stuff like this...mostly because if I gave it too much thought I'd never sleep again. BUT, like Barbara's nephew, my daughter saw a "man on the stairs" over and over at her grandparents house. She drew pictures of him, and to this day at 15, she swears he was real.
Ironically, I am moving Ollie's crate into my 8 year old's room tonight because he keeps hearing "voices" in his room. He's convinced that Ollie would alert him to any danger while he sleeps. (I think the voices are from his sister's stereo who's room is underneath his. She listens to weird stuff.)
Got waken up by a madly barking dog at midnight. House seem to be normal. I let him out and he barked at the cup board like mad.
Now I could hear the noise, wow my pots are moving by themself...
Sorry a mouse was playing with a spoon in the stainless pot!
Coming to this thread late...but I have to say I have had times when I left whatever area I was in. Demon, ghost, critter or dangerous human....didn't matter to me at the time.
Kristel....icky! I have an uncle who lives in a house that though not as bad as yours is definitely "not right" and no one will inherit it. We all agreed to a big fire some day.
Aaron, my daughter says "yeah, but w Slenderman someone would come missing by now" This from a kid who has drawn Slenderman on several pairs of jeans for herself and friends.
I too join the Sherlock Holmes crowd. Prove everything else first. Brain tumor...had a dog with one and the behavior was very similar...if it escalates especially. Similar too to seizure disorders. Or, as Dennis says, critters. I have had dogs nuts about corners of rooms that had bees in the walls, mice, rats, squirrels or bats. Name a vermin. Laser light tag. A bear, burglar or stray cat outside that part of the house.
Dogs senses can confuse us mere mortals.

Edit reason: spelling is our friend
I used to swear our house was haunted when we first moved in (12 years ago). I used to hear music drifting down the hallway at night. I'm pretty sure it was drifting down from the main road somehow, but we're about 1/4 mile back from it. Then one night our portable radio that was in our hall closed turned on completely by itself. I swear...I got up and looked - it hadn't fallen off the shelf or anything. Was just on and playing music albeit much louder than what I'd heard in the past.
I'm a serious skeptic when it comes to this stuff but one of my first babysitting experiences at maybe 15 or 16 years old seriously messed with my head.
I was watching my two little cousins one night. The younger of the two kept having complete panic attacks, saying she saw "an old man peeking in the window". Full blown tantrum, screaming, shaking. Had to take her into a room that didn't have any windows because she was flipping out so bad. I don't get scared easily, but that was pretty disturbing.
