a haunted house? Canberra 91 - 92

Hi Everyone, Over the years I have had several strange ghostly experiences. I'll start with this one.
Back in 91 - 92 I lived in a share house in Canberra. Various strange things occured in this house over the period I lived there. For example... The exhaust fan in the kitchen use to turn itself on when no one was there, usually when home alone.. OK I thought, it's a dodgy switch, don't worry too much. Then one night the TV turned itself off, now this was an old TV, no remote, the on/off switch moved in and out by approx 1cm. I was home alone watching tele, something distracted me and 'click' the TV went off. OK this is getting freaky... mentioned it to my flatmate when he got home and he said the same had happened in his room in that the light went out, ok blown bulb he thinks, gets new one goes to turn the light off to change it and guess what... already off, turns it on again and old bulb works fine.....
Some time later a guest says they woke to see an old man standing in the corner of the room looking at them who faded after a few seconds..
Then one night I woke up with something pressing on my chest and trying to grab me around the neck.... I freaked out but soon realised it wasn't trying to hurt me, that it was a small girl maybe 5 years old who was trying to hug me. She was sort of milky misty, softly glowing hard to focus on. I asked her why was she there and she 'said' (thought? cause it wasn't really words... more like an impression!)) that she was afraid and lonely because her mummy and daddy got very sad and everyone stopped talking to her and then they went away and left her behind..., I asked why did she come to me? she said 'cause your the only one who could see? (not the right word?) me ... ?!? OK..??. Hmmm??
OK I think.... I ask her if she can see a light? She says that she can but that shes afraid to go there... I tell her that there are lots of nice people waiting there to look after her there and that everything will be ok. she slowly drifted away....
Maybe I'm mad, maybe it was just a weird dream... but the strange things pretty much stopped after that.
