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.

This is also, of course, operating under the assumption that we are willing to take people's words at face value. While I have little reason to be skeptical of @LadyForCamus's claims, I have no idea what kind of motivations someone like Jung might have. It's reasonable to question his motives since we don't have verifiable evidence that these extraordinary things happened, other than taking his word for it. It'd be one thing if someone claimed that a glass fell over on its own or if a door slammed all by itself, things we've all, no doubt, experienced at one point or another. But when you start claiming that your dining room table split in half in a violent burst, I think we have good reason to start asking some serious questions. An extraordinary claim like that requires some serious evidence, so I think it's fair to wonder if someone making a claim like this is even telling the truth.
