A bed that shakes violently, an uncontrollable banging coming from inside the walls and a Ouija board that moves by itself – sounds like scenes out of a scary movie.

But in reality, those were just a few of the experiences a family says they endured while living in one of Norwich’s numerous Victorian mansions in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The family, who wished not to be identified, reported years of ghost/spirit activity on the third floor of the house, the location and address of which will also remain confidential.

Here’s a few summaries of their most recent testimony:

• The youngest daughter, 15 at the time, often complained to her mother that her bed shook violently at night, eventually bringing the mattress downstairs to sleep in her parents’ room.

• The oldest sister, home visiting from college, witnessed the bathroom faucets going full blast while she was taking a shower. “The faucets were very old, hard to turn and you had to turn them a lot to get them off and on,” she said.

• The younger daughter also said she used to leave the closet light on and door open when she went to bed and would find the light off and door shut when she go up. And whenever she played loud music, there would be a banging on the walls.
