Sure. There was a story from a friend of mine. She was staying alone in an old house for a few days. One night, she heard strange scratching sounds on the window.

Also, there's the story of a dog that always barked at a certain corner of the house. Eventually, the owners found a small stash of old coins hidden there by a previous owner. Then there's the case of a town where people reported seeing a 'ghostly' figure in the local park at night. It was actually a large white owl that was very active during those hours.

It really relieved the family's financial burden.
Another example is Aileen Wuornos. She was a female serial killer. Her childhood was filled with abuse and she turned to prostitution.
