What do you make of this? Weird things happening...

Seeing as it is an old house, it could just be wind. It can sound like crying and definitely can slam/shake doors...

Thanks for the reply, I know what you mean but a few years ago all the old fires were blocked up and we only put one gas one in! My family member said the crying was so bad, she was shaking with fear it was that clear :\!

I invite you to come over and see for yourself haha, it really is a scary place but now Ive found this local ghost connection... I genuinely think something sinister could be possessing the house - not to mention another, younger family member randomly said "that crucifix disgusts me" and then going about her business as if nothing had happened! that really creeped me out.

Personally, I don't believe in ghosts/paranormal activity/the devil or whatever so nothing will make me think that it's even a possibility.

A lot of the time, our eyes/ears can play tricks on us (i.e. the crucifix) if we want to believe something or have a feeling that bad things are around, like seeing shapes in the corner of your eye or 'person' shapes in the dark when it's actually something totally innocuous.

No you have it in your head that this is paranormal, you will naturally interpret the ambiguous in this light, and confirm your previous bias further. I think that can explain much of it, although I am general open minded about things like this.

Some family members of mine are adamant they have had paranormal experiences and haunting; not the numerous, weak instances you have described, but literally seeing historical, ghostly figures in the old hospital building they work in, and actually have been attacked by them and held down, had the doors lock on them etc.

My father has told me some very creepy stories, such as his wife's Dad walking past her on the stairs when she was the only one in the house, and her father was flying over to another country at the time; an African colleague of his told him that when she was in African these people called the "Water People" come to come round peoples houses to cast charms and what not on the house to get rid of rats, but there was a rule where if you look at them while you do it, bad luck is bring on your family for years to come, so you have to stand in a circle that they've chalked off and close your eyes. But she looked, and saw a demonic face stare at her, and afterward in the subsequent years her family was brought into ruin.

On the other hand, there is a lot of science going on at the minute where they manipulate electro receptors (or whatever) in your brain and you often see paranormal, or religious experiences can sometimes be witnessed. The amount varies between people. So perhaps that, and confirmation bias, can explain such events.
