To be honest I dont know what to call this, but for what its worth I'll just call it a ghost story. I was living in a 2 story house with my parents and my uncle had just moved in. He lived in the bottom half, and we stayed in the top half. i was about 10 years old when this happened. My uncle use to have all the cool new video games back then, so when he was at work, I'd go play them in his room. Well, there was numerous accounts when I'd go downstairs and play games when I was the only one home. He had this garbage can that was in the shape of a cylinder but the top had a lid that rotated forward and backward to let you throw away the garbage. Well one day after school, i went down to play games and, of course, i was the only one home. All the windows in the house were shut and the heater or ac was turned off, so there was no way any breeze could come in. well as i played games, the top part of the garbage can would start moving, then stop. about 30 mins. later it would rotate again, sort of teeter totter. It was really eerie. I paid no attention to it at first, just kind of pondered, but then after i was getting ready to go upstairs, i felt this strong gust of wind blow over me as i left the room, it was so strong it knocked me toward the side wall. After that, i stopped playing his games until he was home. But it never happened again, but he's told me just recently that he had the same experience, but never told anyone about it.
