Things that rattle in the night

I've lived in my flat (apartment for our American friends) for about 4 years, my OH has lived here for 2.5 of those years.

OH is into witchcraft - mostly for protection and divination purposes - and since he's moved in, weird things have been happening in the flat.

Nothing too scary: things get knocked off the wall in the middle of the night, you'll see someone walk past the doorway but when you check, everyone is in their rooms, the punch bag will start swinging when there's nobody near it.

We periodically cleanse the flat but it never seems to have much effect other than slightly lessening the "weird vibe" my OH says he feels here.

So nothing really scary, just a few creepy occurrences every now and then.

Until a few weeks ago, when I woke up at around 3am, and the bedroom door was rattling, as though a strong breeze were rolling through the house, except all the windows were closed. I thought maybe it was the cat, but I didn't get much chance to check as my son woke up and the rattling stopped.

I gave him a bottle, got back into bed, and as I was settling back to sleep it began again. I thought about opening the window so I could pretend it was just the wind, and suddenly it ramped up - now it sounded like someone was trying to open the door, but they couldn't figure out to turn the handle, so instead they were just violently shaking the door. So it definitely wasn't my cat.

I freaked the fuck out, shook my OH awake, and the rattling stopped dead. He didn't hear it, had no idea what I was talking about, but stayed awake to keep watch while I went back to sleep.

We got his brother (another witch) in to do a more powerful cleanse, which seems to have worked because nothing creepy has happened since.

I'm hoping it stays that way, but my OH has a history of stuff like this so I'm not going to hold my breath!
