Explanations for the alleged phenomena may include:

Optical illusions or reflections from passing car headlights or streetlights, which could cause the appearance of lights moving through the house.
Human pareidolia, where the brain interprets vague stimuli as familiar patterns such as faces or figures, could account for sightings of the woman in the window.
Environmental factors such as drafts, natural light shifts, or reflective surfaces may explain light movement within the building.
