What you have described is classic poltergeist (german;"noisy ghost') activity.
In his autobiography, 'Memories, Dreams And Reflections', pioneer psychologist Carl Jung describes similar experiences of his own. One including a large solid dining room table suddenly splitting from end to end.
Dr Jung maintained a lifelong interest in poltergeists, and details other episodes described by others.
Jung's noticed that there were often* adolescent children on the premises during poltergeist activity. He concluded that adolescents exuded some type of sexual energy which caused the activity.
*'often', not invariably.
I don't find that explanation terribly satisfying. I should also add that it was the good doctor who coined the term 'synchronicity" to describe seemingly meaningful coincidences. However, his autobiography is worth reading, I don't think he was a complete loon ,just a bit eccentric. He was
a contemporary of Freud. They didn't get on.

There's a lot of stuff on line, pro and con, as one might expect. There doesn't seem to be a consensus. The thing I found most interesting is the idea of many different causes. Because these events seem similar, they tend to be discussed as if there is a single cause. Because the events are no way identical, there is no reason to assume they have a common cause.
My conclusion is that poltergeist activity most probably has several scientific explanations. Doesn't seem to be an area with a lot or serious research happening. I suspect it may take some time before anything approaching a consensus is reached.
