Drop the passive aggressive attitude, stop calling anyone with a contrary opinion a troll or a tosser and just post reasonably.
Oh dear, Officer Rawwr is insulted.TwigtheWonderkid said:
You are acting like a moron though. You, and other precious snowflakes have no idea of what trolling is. No one has said they hope someone else gets cancer, or that their kids die. Just because someone thinks you're wrong does not make them a troll.
Yet again, I said TROLL-ISH - you clearly don't need to be educated on what type of posting that can encompass.DonkeyApple said:

An update. Not good!
I was away today with one child, other child and wife at home.
She was having a bath, youngest was asleep, both cats were (strangely) in the bathroom with her. She sings some songs, changing to an old 1700s songs (it isn’t as weird as it sounds, she loves history and has just started working as an archeologist). When she sings it, she hears shuffling outside the door. She stops and it stops. She tries again, sing, shuffling. She’s pretty freaked out. She gets to the end of the song and someone pushes the door open!
She jumped out the bath and checked on the child, he was fast asleep. The cats wouldn’t leave until she did. They were looking at the door with their hair stood up whilst this was all happening.
This is the first time she’s felt really uncomfortable here. Oh dear.
It does seem somewhat co-incidental that you have a ghost who seems to specifically dislike a particular era of music when it is sung by someone who has a keen interest in a particular point in history.I was away today with one child, other child and wife at home.

If I'm honest I don't read too much into the reactions of animals such as cats and dogs as very often they are reacting to the state of their human owner. For example, it is perfectly common for a dog to go 'on guard' when the owner is scared rather than because the dog as picked up on anything external. Cats are very perceptive of their owner's states also.
We also have an old house and several doors that will happily open themselves, one with a right old bang due to pressure changes in the house. One of them being the bathroom door and my wife started going a bit spiritual until I managed to show that it was a result of the air in the bathroom being considerably warmer than the rest of the house and that if I opened the window a crack then the door didn't move. Our ghost also never appeared when I was there but started to make more and more regular appearances as my wife became more and more excitable about it.
For a mildly funny anecdote, a very good friend of mine took his wife (scared of ghosts) to a very luxurious and expensive old hotel for their first wedding anniversary and as they were being shown to their suite the member of staff took great delight in telling them that the room was haunted. My mate's heart sank and he then spent the next couple of hours attempting to change rooms and when none were available they ended up spending the night on the bathroom floor as apparently the ghost wouldn't bother them in there as opposed to the hugely comfortable bedroom.
How about either of you, Twig, Rawwr, etc, you start your own thread proving how mundane and explainable every occurrence similar to the OP's, which has resulted in surprise or shock or mild alarm or fear, etc etc, and dismiss those who are experiencing these things regularly?
How well is your topic going to be received? How long before it dies? Why don't you go ahead and give it a whirl, and stop trying to force your way of thinking onto people who have experienced things which can't be explained?
You should give some thought that you're appearing to be a bigot.

This is a thread that was specifically opened to discuss people's thoughts on the situation and you seem to be the one trying to force the debate/discussion to be shut down?
You don't seemingly have anything constructive to add to the discussion so shouldn't you stop trying to disrupt it?

Since the latest update from the OP no one has "trolled" or been "troll-ish" or anything even remotely similar (not that there was anything remotely similar in the rest of the thread anyway).
For my part I agree with DA's assessment, more than likely atmospheric conditions, warm bathroom, cold outside, contracting/expanding building etc. And cats, well cats are a law unto themselves.

By describing posts/posters as trollish? Perhaps it needs to be said more often, given that pages back a very interesting series of events were put forward with the preface 'Ill probably get slated' or very similar. Why should people be made to feel uncertain about telling the truth?This is a thread that was specifically opened to discuss people's thoughts on the situation and you seem to be the one trying to force the debate/discussion to be shut down?

Still waiting on the difference between 'trolling' and 'posting in a trollish way'.
Warm regards,

The noises I mentioned earlier were explained later that day; I found the boiler locked out.
There certainly does seem to be more to report from my wife. It doesn’t explain my dad, in the original post, though.
The footstep noise is most common and I’m still trying to explain that one. Still open to other/more suggestions.
