You were afraid from the beginning, and you only reported subjective feelings, which could already be biased from your fear from the beginning as well. Fear is activated by the amygdala, and, once it's activated, it's common for it to keep active, specially if the stimulus was that large, and even more so if you actually believe in ghosts. People who don't believe, just from listening to ghost stories, can get panic reactions like these for hours or days. So no, I don't think there is any good reason to believe there were ghosts or worse there. Keep praying to give you strength, but I suggest you to avoid thinking about the house, since it's going to trigger your limbic system again. I think you should just focus on what makes you feel safe and protected. Read favorite, inspirational passages from the Bible (or your holy book) or your denomination's prayer books, interact with people who you feel safe with, and don't think too much about it. If the problem persists, getting treatment can help. Religious people are treated for panic attacks and other types of mental illness as well, me included.
