I've only ever had one experience happen to me, though my mother tells me that she and my uncle used to live in a haunted house when she was younger, and my uncle would be taunted by eyes watching him from the darkness in his bedroom.
My when I was in my late teens, my grandfather lived on his own, and because he was in bad health, I stayed with him and slept on his couch and would walk to college in the morning or get the bus if he gave me money to get a weekly ticket. Which he almost always did. One night he was away, and I was alone in his place, and I was woken by noise upstairs. It wasn't malevolent noise, but rather like a gathering of people that were having a party.
It went on for about 15 minutes, and the noise got louder as more people joined the party, and it became such that I was looking up at the ceiling from the couch in an 'empty' home, listening to what seemed like 100 people loudly having some sort of ball above me, laughing and joking, stamping on the ceiling, moving tables etc, with the muffled sounds of their talking coming down through the roof.
After about 15 minutes of it, I was too creeped out to sleep, so I got up, got dressed, and walked out of there, straight to my uncle's house 10 minutes away - where he was surprised to see me at his door at the crack of dawn, but obviously welcomed me in.
The problem was, my grandfather lived in a bungalow.......there was no upstairs.
