Well, what was it?
For a while we were "haunted" by something rocking the light fixtures in the ceilings, rattling window frames and banging up and down the stairs. Within a few weeks the "haunter" broke through to the outside, front and center of our house with a two foot wide hole! It was a squirrell. Never underestimate the trouble a squirrel can cause. He was between the first and second story ceiling/floor, pulling on the ceiling lights' wires and dropping bricks from the old walls down the interior staircase wall. His purpose was simply destruction.
The animal trapper told my husband the squirrels who were born and raised in a house will not seek a tree for their own nest, they believe houses are where they have to nest. So a squirrell who moves in to claim ownership of your house is very hard to get rid of. He will keep coming back, even from a 45 minute drive away. And, he'll believe the house is HIS. Meaning=you are an intruder into HIS space. So he'll make quite a ruckus to make you uncomfortable enough to leave.
