Fortunately, the house doesn't look as damaged as my first impression. And the glass of the sliding door I see remains unbroken.
If you want to get technical, it's probably incorrect to treat it like a haunted house. If anything, it's more like the legendary wandering houses.

(TN: Wandering house - Mayoiga - refers to the mysterious houses that appear before travelers lost in the mountains. Documented extensively in Yanagita Kunio's Toono Monogatari.
