The house was built circa 1900, so that's a big yes. And there are charred rafters in the roof from a fairly significant fire at an unknown point in time, so make of that what you will.

I've never felt anything strange in the room, and I've slept in there many times. (Before it was the kids' room, it was a guest room, aka the DMala snores too loud room.)

There are a few slightly odd things that have happened previously. One is that the house shakes at seemingly random times. This is a deep rhythmic swaying that seems to come right from the foundation. It doesn't seem to correspond to wind, traffic, passing trains, or anything else obvious. I've felt it at 2 or 3am before, when there is very little activity inside or outside the house. The first time I felt it, I was convinced we'd had a minor earthquake, but there was no record of one and I've now felt it many times since.

The other two involved the cat in the first year or so that we had him. In one case, the cat went missing one evening. We searched high and low for him, and finally heard him crying faintly in the guest room. He was in the closet with the door closed and latched, which is not that unusual, except that neither of us had been in that closet since before the cat had gone missing.

The other was when I was playing with the cat in the guest room one night. As I recall, the room was semi dark, with only light from the hall spilling in. At one point, the cat was sitting in the middle of the room and his gaze tracked something up a wall and across the ceiling. I tried to follow and gaze and see what he was looking at, but I didn't see anything.

Any of these can be easily explained, but recounting all of them together does kind of give me a chill.
