This Scary House: Why It Goes Bump in the Night
When you move into a house or even if you have been living there for a while, you may notice that the house can fill with strange sounds late at night. It could be a light popping when the heat kicks on or even something that sounds like moaning or little feet racing in the walls. 
You may think that Casper is living in your home, but thats not likely. There are plenty of natural sounds that a house can make in the night as the temperature and air pressure changes. You notice them most at night for two reasons: (1) The greatest temperature and air pressure changes happen at night, and (2) when you go to bed everything is turned off and it doesnt have to compete with House M.D.
So here is a little breakdown of noises and what they mean both natural and supernatural.
Groaning: Most houses are made mostly out of wood, and the older the home, the more wood. Changes in moisture can lead to the wood to expand and contract, and when that happens, it can sound like a groaning.
Supernatural: The souls of the dead are coming up through your basement, but hit concrete and starting freaking out. Zombies dont do well with concrete, and they get frustrated. When they get frustrated, they moan. Zombies cant do much else except eat brains.
Popping: This most likely happen when you heater turns on and off. There is a sudden change in temperature throughout the duct work, and this can create a popping sound. It happens in my house all the time and can be a bit unnerving, but is absolutely harmless.
Supernatural: You home is a gateway to hell odds are that it’s somewhere in your basement. They always are. At least, they have been in my experience. As the gate opens and closes, a buildup of supernatural energy gets to the breaking point and creates a popping sound as the energy is released into the house. You may notice some items in your home becoming demonic and try to eat you. Tell tale sign.
Little feet: I once lived in a house that was directly across from a field, and when the farmer would come and harvest, hundreds of mice would scatter in all directions, and sometimes, they would go for the shelter of my house. I would be laying in bed and suddenly hear skittering little feet climbing in my walls. Freaky yes, annoying, double yes.
Supernatural: You have the ghosts of little children in your home and they want to play. Its not that big of a deal. They like to run across the attic and play some ball, you know the things little kids do. Unless they start showing up at breakfast and drinking straight from the milk carton; teen ghosts have been known to do this. Just live with them.
I hope this has set your mind at east, or at least alerted you to the presence of evil in you home (i.e. your mother-in-law is visiting).
