My girlfriend comes from Taiwan, which has a huge ghost culture. Ghost festivals, ghost day, etc. Maybe it comes with buddhism, I'm not sure. Anyway, she makes me watch those shows, Most Haunted, Haunted America, etc, and I absolutely hate them. Could just be me, but the entire rhetoric of the show is just the spectacle.
First, they do a prelim scan, then they turn off all the lights, break out the night vision, someone gets possessed and starts yelling obscenities, and at the end of the night, all is well in the world. That's the British show, the American show is a bit more scientific, since they set up cameras and doing sound recordings and whatnot.
Getting to the point, after watching these shows for quite some time, and seeing that at the end of each one, they have no hard physical evidence whatsoever, besides a few people allegedly seeing something or feeling something, I am left to believe that ghosts do not, in fact, exist.
It's not that I have ultimate faith in science, for I still believe in God, but given my limited experience in this area, I would definitely recommend you need to get a psychological grasp of your situation. That is, acknowledge to yourself that your house isn't haunted, stop living in fear or denial, or curious wonderment at what could be going on.
Now, that said, if you choose to believe that your house is haunted, I've heard that verbal confrontations with spirits can help. Saying things like "This isn't your house anymore," "This is our house," "You need to go towards the light," etc etc have helped some people in the past.
Good luck.
