Naomi - Please don't think I'm being anything other than serious now. I'm incredulous, but still serious.
Your statement, “I lived in a 'haunted house' for years, and our lives were disrupted in no uncertain terms on a daily basis - and our visitors were far from immune too...” has left me flabbergasted!
You say that supernatural (or unexplained / paranormal) events happened on a daily basis.
Did you ever think of calling someone about this? I don't mean your local priest (as if!) but the media? Even the local media would have lapped this up, particularly as it wasn't specific to you or your immediate family; any visiting person could well have experienced it. If what you're saying is true, you could have made an absolute fortune but more than that, you could have substantially furthered research into physical science in general and to paranormal activity in particular. I'm not being flippant, but did none of these things occur to you and your family? As you lived there for years, did you document these daily events with photographs, sound recordings, video, etc.?
Once you'd sold the property, did you keep in touch with the new occupants? If so, have they reported any strange goings on?
