You are if you let the fact that you think you lived in a hunted house affect your life in any way.

So? Bones are the leftovers of a once-living body. There is nothing else attached to them. No soul, no energy, no spirit, no nothing. If you think you saw ghosts because you're afraid that the bones meant anything it is your imagination and nothing more.

Your sisters were paranoid thanks to misinformation served to them by ghost stories and religion. If you think someone fell ill coming into your house who's to say they just didnt think your house had a funny smell from yesterday's burned casserole?

No, you didn't. You THINK you did, and your paranoia and fear stopped you from thinking rationally about what you REALLY felt, and you have let it shape your life all the way to today. You (and others) have probably told the same irrational story without any kind of true explanation, hence ghost stories persist and suckers believe in them.

I immediately shut the door and would never open it again when I heard these sounds at night.

A shadow is cast when an object moves between a light source and a background. If you've ever taken a photo in your life you know this. The logical thing to do was to turn your head slightly to see what or who was causing the shadow. Geeze.

The fact that you didn't talk about it with each other makes my point. You all thought you saw or heard something, and were too scared to talk about it. Your fears built up in you over years as did these "paranormal" explanations. There is clearly dozens of other explanations yet you (and others) choose to believe in the most irrational of them all.
Sorry not trying to pick on you - just wishing that more people would take a few minutes to dig deeper into things and look for the rational instead of blindly accepting the irrational.
