[Ghosts/General] Do ghosts continue with their paranormal activity even if no one is around to witness it?

If a house was completely abandoned with no cameras or witnesses or anything like that, would the ghost that is haunting it continue to throw things around or turn lights on and off?

I know ghosts don't always know they're dead but that can't always be the case, some are intentionally trying to creep the inhabitants (or any visitors) out but what are they doing if there are none?

It depends on the type of ghost. Some things we call "ghosts" are mere manifestations of an emotion. If there's anything around that they can draw energy from, people or higher order animals generally, then they will convert it into that emotion and lash out with it. When there's no one around, they go dormant.

Other ghosts, with more of a sense of self, try to scare people away so they can have the place to themselves. Then they go back to whatever their routine was. Some may not be capable of thinking beyond whatever moment they're re-experiencing. Some may be free to do more stuff.
