This story is very fresh in my mind since it only happened a few days ago.
My mother let me and my brother stay are home for the first time by ourselves. Now everything was great at first so much freedom we could eat what we wanted, look at our iPads as much as we wanted. But things soon changed. I was sitting in the lounge room reading my Archie comic when I hear a loud crash in the computer room. Being too scared to go alone I asked my annoyed brother if he would accompany me to the computer room. Our nice painting had been lifted off the wall and drop hard on the floor since one of our tiles were cracked.
Me and my brother looked at each other scared and puzzled. My cat came rushing into the room with her tail pointed up and fluffed up and a arched back. She seemed very distressed. Me and my brother knew that we should take the cat and go outside until our parents came home.
This is where it gets even stranger. My parents had just came home and we were unpacking the groceries when dad went to look in the computer room. But the painting was back up on the wall. HOW DOES IT GET BACK ON THE FLIPIN WALL. The Tile was still cracked and my dad just gave me the angriest look and told me to go to my room.
Sitting in my room I look up at the large closet mirror which is opposite to my bed and there was a dark figure standing next to my book shelf but when I look at the bookshelf there was nothing there. I'm really starting to wonder about this house. I mean why is all of this stuff happening? It's so typical of a ghost to not want you in their space but why did all the weird stuff start happening now?
I think that if any paranormal things happen I might not submit it to this website since it might anger the ghost. So I won't be posting probably for a while. Hopefully everything will stop and I can live my life in peace without any strange ghost experiences.

I imagine that must have been frightening for you.
As people have already posted, you should always look for the most logical solution first before assuming the supernatural/paranormal are to blame. For example, if a door was to slam shut by itself, I would think of logical reasons why such as drafts, open windows, etc.
In your case with the painting, I would be thinking things along the line of; did the fixings break or move out of place?; is it possible that over time the painting had been gradually slipping from its fixings and then fallen suddenly?; could the cat have knocked it?; could your brother have knocked it?; had the panel on the back of the painting warped and loosened the fixings?
As for how it got back on the wall, I would think; did your father, mother or brother put it back on the wall and did you consider asking them if they did?
Then regarding your father's reaction to the cracked tile, it is very unusual behaviour to send you to your room without first asking you what happened, who did it, and without also punishing your brother. I guess either this could be a misremembrance of events, your father simply having atypical reactions to household incidents, or him just assuming it was you because something similar has happened in the past, maybe you've broken things before - but again to reiterate, this is unusual and to some extent discredits your story, but in NO WAY am I saying that it isn't true!
Lastly, about the figure you saw in the mirror - did you turn around the very moment you saw it? If so, you could have mistaken something in your room for a figure - it is easily done, I often see a what I hurriedly assume to be a figure in my mirrors, and then turn to think logically "what could it actually have been?" and notice things like jackets hanging on the back of doors, coats hung up, and shadows that do look vaguely like figures. Our minds are meant to jump to conclusions and react quickly to protect us (it's our primal instincts!), and paranoia doesn't help, so maybe this is what it was?
However if it was indeed a figure, then there are two options from there on - a spirit/entity, or a hallucination. I know it's difficult to tell the difference. I guess only you can make that judgement. However, perhaps consider seeing your GP and seeing if it could have been a hallucination? Alternatively, try and think back to the event; were you dehydrated, hungry, tired or anxious? Were you depressed or paranoid? Were you ill, hot, cold or on medication? These are all things that can cause hallucinations.
