Tapping Headboards

Shortly after my father died, my mom and I moved into this apartment.
I know someone or something was present there. Here are a few things
that happened.
First of all my bedroom was always cold, even in the summer. My mother
would hear music coming from my room at night and she would come in to
tell me to turn it off. When she entered the room I was sound asleep and
the music would stop, but it would be freezing. Then I would see the
curtains move as I was coming up the walkway to the door, thinking it
was my mom spying on me I opened the door to find there wasn't anyone
home. (She and I just talked about this a little while ago, and the same
thing would happen to her when she pulled in the driveway). I found out
my dad would do that to her when she came home.
The two strangest things that happened was first when I had my friend
sleep over she was on my bed and I was on the rollaway bed right below
her, all of a sudden we heard tapping on the head board. I thought it
was her and she thought it was me (we would try to scare each other) you
know how kids are at 13 years old. When we held our hands up and it kept
on tapping and we screamed for my mom to come in and stay with us until
we fell asleep. (My mom blamed the tapping on the heater pipes).
Recently my mother confessed that my father used to tap on the wall when
he needed something (he was bed ridden for a long time) so she was just
as freaked out as we were.
The next thing that happened I will never forget. I was on my bed
talking on the phone and I felt something scratch from my side all the
way down the bed, like a hand or a big claw. I asked my mom if the cat
or dog were in and she had just let them out -- the experience was so
real. More things happened there too, but I think you get the gist of
it. Ever since then I have had strange occurrences happen around me. I
am pretty used to it by now (I'm 34) but my new husband gets creeped out
quite a bit.
