PARANORMAL HAPPENINGS/ LANDLORD ISSUES? IS IT RUDE TO ASK OF PAST POSSIBLE INCIDENTS?

I recently moved into my first home by myself, unexplainable things started happening about 3-4 weeks after I moved in. I asked it to leave, however, in the past few months these happenings are more frequent and becoming even harder to fathom a reasonable explanation, as well as become more ertive. I have witness to most these events, so it's not "imagination" (footsteps through the home when no body's there, knocks on the wall, lucid visions, I could go on and on). I've been staying away as much as possible now until I find out more...I do not feel its "Mr. Happy" So, some friends met me at the house yesterday so I could stop in and take care of a few things. I turned on my stereo (.. which is newer) a few minutes ped a good song came on the radio, I started belting out to it trying to feel "normal" again, the entire component shut down, and will not come back on. My components were all plugged into a surge protector, someone checked out the stereo (no problems found),nothing else went out that is connected to this, we even tested the plug to ure it was not the reason). At this time i'm getting frustrated because it is patiently breaking my things and it is envoking fear. I started to call my landlord to ask about his knowledge of anything "weird" in the past but became hesitant about asking so hung up. He called me back so I went ahead and asked if anyone in the past has experienced anything there. I made it clear I did not want to be taken as "off". (I know I might of sounded "off" because i've become overwhelmed with everything....He asked "weird things?"... I mentioned the footsteps and such, he replied that( I ) "You need to start getting your dope from someone else" I was like "noooo ...It's not even like that, others witnessed it as well." I was very offended by this. (And it adds to the fact I already feel on the verge of crazy... so) He went on about how he hears strange things in his house and there's always a reason... I cut him off and just told him thanks, that I only wanted to find out the history on that. In the end he said there was no events, nobody else has complained of it in the past. So, I politely cut it short and hung up. (I never call him because I fix the minor things on my own, and there is no reason for him to think I even do drugs). Was this out of line for me to ask about? And, in Kansas, because he said that "no, there was nothing"...(in a not so respectable fashion...), would that allow me to my rights of obligation of contract? I'm doenting the happenings and now have photos, working to resolve the issues via investigative. Also, if I start looking through "Public Records" will he recieve reports on these searchs? Any positive input on finding information is welcomed.
