Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I am wondering if my house is haunted, is there such a thing as a shy ghost? I don’t feel a presence, or any strange feelings and I do not think it is haunted, but me and my daughter have experienced paranormal things.

My daughter was sitting in her room one day (it’s off from the den) and she happened to look into the den and she saw a black shadow peek out of the bathroom which is also off from the den. We could not explain it.

One day I was in the den and I was calling the dog, I saw the shadow of the dog on the carpet so I thought he was behind me. I turned but I did not see him, my daughter said he was in her room under the bed. What was the shadow that I saw?

Then we started having problems with my room door. My daughter was in my room and she said all of a sudden the door swung open and there was nobody there. We tried closing other doors to try to recreate it, because some times doors will open by themselves, when another door opens because of the air pressure, but we could not recreate it. I was sitting in my room and the door opened by itself, I thought it was my nephew and I asked what he wanted, he was in another part of the house. So what caused the door to opened? This does not happen often but it does happen.

I am waiting to see what happens next, but the strangest thing that happened was when we were in the house alone in my room and my daughter was making strange noises with her mouth. The science fiction theme was on her cellphone so she tried recreating it. When she finished we heard the same noises she did and it sounded faraway but it was right in the room. We were more perplexed instead of scared.

I want to use my recorder to see if we can catch an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) but we’re afraid of what we might find. So does anybody know if my house is haunted or are we just crazy? How could I find out? By the way we have a dog and once in a while he will look at something that we cannot see and he will bark for no reason at all but whatever it is he is not scared. I thought dogs were suppose to be frightened of spirits.
