Please help with paranormal entities?

Well houses do make all kinds of noises at night, i know mine does. Sleeping in a basement would make you more paranoid and when you get scared you will feel as if there is something near you or touching you when there isn't anything there. There's no way you would get me sleep down in the basement ever! even with the light on. What you could do if you feel there is something down there is sprinkle lots of salt everywhere and spray some sea salt water around the room.
