Go for it. :)
From the way it sounds, all you're dealing with is a residual haunting. Chances are it doesn't even know you are there. In which case, you have absolutely nothing to worry about, aside from maybe the occasional elevator door opening or spotting someone walking down the hall to their old room once in a great while, kind of like a record skipping in their time line.
On the outside chance that it's an intelligent haunting, 99.9% of the time, they're just a little bit lost and confused and want to talk, just like any other person, only sans body. Nothing to worry about there either.
In the extremely rare circumstance that it's intelligent and malicious, you can multiply that rarity by about 100 fold that it would even be strong enough to do anything about it other than grumble at you on your recorder or thump on a wall or maybe make you hear something that you're not sure if you heard or not. Commonly, these types can be dealt with, with a firm and resolved "F*** off. This is my place, not yours. Now vamoose."
That's if you get anything at all. A big big if. I believe in the supernatural, ghosts, etc... why not? I've seen some strange shit in my time, and actually do partake in a bit of "hunting" myself. There's a fuck ton of things in this world we know little to nothing about, and haven't even touched on any other worlds, be they physical or spiritual.
That being said though, I also believe that nearly everything can be chalked up to logical reasons, and usually is. Your building is very old, it's going to make strange sounds sometimes, probably has some humidity issues in areas, old elevators have old wiring and can sometimes cause them to just open their doors.
I also have a hard time believing in "orbs" in photos. "OOOOH! Look at all the orbs we got in this picture in the graveyard! Ghosts everywhere!" So tell me, you were obviously outside, and the path there, if you were on a path, was either dirt, or very dusty old pavement, and there were grass and trees and bugs around, yeah? "Uhh, yes?" Gee, couldn't be anything like dust, bugs and particles everywhere, could it? *headdesk*
There's an odd thumping on the floor sometimes. Go check the basement, I'll bet $20 that there's a loose water pipe there. Strange scratching on the wall by the window? Trim the damned tree branch. Logical little stuff like that, which we're overlooking because we're momentarily creeped out.
That's the overwhelming majority of your "ghosts" right there.
But, if you look at things logically, take time, figure out all the angles, eliminate everything it could possibly be, and it's still not solved, then, just maybe, you might be dealing with something supernatural. And just because it's supernatural, doesn't even necessarily mean it's a "ghost". All it means is that it's not something that occurs naturally or commonly.
Sooo, fear not, have some fun, try and experiment and learn. :) Just don't go pulling out those daft ouija boards. Seriously. It's made by Milton Bradley. It's about as spiritual of a thing as a monopoly board. ;)
Good luck hon. If you want to, give me a holler, let me know what you decide, what you find, etc. I might have some other advice for "hunting" it (whatever it is) down. *HUG*
