Ghost playing with a balloon?

Hey! So today was my daughter's birthday and we had about 4 helium balloons left.

All of them but 1 deflated and had sunk to the ground. The one that was left was annoying by moving around so I put it in the bedroom and kind of shut the door leaving it cracked a little.

About 4 minutes later the balloon had managed to get out of the room do a lap of the house and come back to the lounge (it went the total opposite way to me and there are no drafts in the house) and stopped directly in front of me then hovered above the table then to the fish tank.
The balloon dropped to eye height at the tank then went back up to the roof and went into the hallway back near the room it came from. My partner went to the balloon and put his hand over it and the balloon did a big clockwise circle the quickly pulled away from him.

We then left it and sat back down and the balloon made its way back to the lounge room and sat at eye height with me then started touching me. I cut the string and it's now sitting in the same spot and hasn't moved since..

Could this have been a spirit..? We have had a lot of weird things happen to us in this house but it's now starting to get creepy...
