A daughter being pushed down the stairs only to mysteriously float to the bottom of the landing on her feet unhurt. Unexplained scratches, in groups of threes, would appear on the resident's bodies. Sounds of boots tramping up and down the floors and in the walls of the house when there was no one on the stairs. The discovery of little tin box behind one of the chimney bricks in the basement, which contained human molars wrapped with chicken bones placed in the shape of a cross.
