Otis Indiana House

Hi, here's my haunted house story.  I'm leaving quite a bit out because otherwise it'd be too long!  The house is in Otis, Indiana and is a new built home.  I tried to cleanse & bless the house using a smudge stick, but the smudge stick kept blowing out.  We heard a banging noise daily.  The noise didn't come from one specific spot in the house, it enveloped the entire home.  Other people who have come to the house have heard the banging.  I'd see bright flashes of light in the tv screen when the tv wasn't on.  Late at night, I'd see clusters of bright, little white lights in different spots in the house.  Some of the photographs I took while living at the house came back with orbs & flashes of lights streaking across the pictures.  At the time, I blamed it on the processing company.  Our phone never worked right and neither did our satellite tv.  Our satellite service accused us of not following their directions, etc.  While my husband and I were in LaPorte one day, we were discussing our homeowners insurance policy and what would be covered in the event of a house fire.  When we returned home, all of the smoke detectors were going off & kept going off even after we cut off he electric power to them & took out the batteries.  I would hear old music playing at different times of the day and night.  I found that the occurrences were less if I greeted "them" when I came home & told "them" good-bye when I left.  For some reason, heart shaped cookie cutters would disappear.  I would buy a new one and within 2 days it was gone.  I saw a cookie sheet that was on top of the stove rock up and down by itself.  Our clock above the fireplace decided to come crashing down in the middle of the night by itself.  The bathroom door would close whenever my daughter went into the bathroom.  This door had to be pushed really hard because the door wasn't level (my husband never got around to taking the door off & cutting it to fit the door frame).  She got to the point where she was afraid of using that bathroom and she was afraid of the tiny lights that appeared in her bedroom, above her window, at night.  My infant son would look up into the corners of the ceiling or over my shoulder & giggle & coo & smile.  I have read about people experiencing "cold spots".  What I experienced I can't call a "cold spot" but I guess there's no other name for it.  I was walking into our bedroom, which is located at the bottom of the stairs (stairs going up).  I entered a place so cold I expected to see my breath.  It felt like I remained in that spot for a long time, but in reality it was only a matter of seconds.  I could feel the coldness inside of my body, inside of my lungs, my organs, etc.  I didn't feel cold on the outside of my body.  I didn't stop walking towards our bedroom and it felt like forever until I was out of that "spot" and felt the warmth rush of air surround me, inside and out, once I was in our bedroom.  In reality, the entire incident probably took only a second or two.  I have never in my lifetime been so cold, and I don't like being cold!  It was probably the most incredible supernatural thing I have ever experienced.  To this day, I remember how the coldness just took my breath away.  It was unreal.  I don't know who the spirit or spirits are.  Someone else lives in the house now & I have no idea if they have encountered anything or not.  I would love to find out any history about the area but it seems like I hit a brick wall when it comes to that but I keep trying.  I'm so glad I have found this website.  When you discuss these types of things happening with other people who haven't experienced it, I find you're doubted or told outright that you're making the story up.  It's nice to know that there are others who have experienced the same things & that we can feel at ease here!  Thank you!
