When moving house it can take time to get used to the new noises and energy around the place. In fact, for some this transition can feel almost like a paranormal experience. This week’s story is about one couples experience in making the move from an apartment to owning their first house. Although it seemed like their dream move, they could’ve never expected the events that would unfold.
