I tell people on my tours that most of the hauntings I hear about are more of a playful nature. It's my opinion and others that they just want you to know that they're there. No one likes to be ignored:)
This is not always the case. I always warn people off Indian burial grounds. I've heard of a golf course in Ohio that hosts the PGA and every year for that week they have the most bizarre bad weather you can imagine. They've tried moving the week around but it still keeps happening. A NJ elementary school where a scaffolding fell over during construction and the man on the scaffolding will be able to walk again, but not work. Later an electrician was not so lucky. He died. OSHA came in and in both cases could not find anything wrong. A man on my tour said he built a house in Alabama even after he was warned not to because it was an old Indian burial ground. He said he was robbed every year for four years until he sold out when his marriage ended in divorce. He's since learned his buyers are now going through a divorce. I had a girl tell me her family lived across the street from a house built over Indian burial grounds and it was like seeing families going through a turnstile. Move in happy and close, some were very close, only the leave divorced and splintered. Premium lots outside of Miami that they can't build on, I've heard it all.
It's not just Indians. Here in Savannah a house that has sat empty for 41 years because it's considered so evil (and a premium house I might add) is currently going on the market for back taxes. This is going to be interesting. People being pushed down stairs, out store doorways, out of bed at night. I've heard two stories about people receiving scratches on their backs.
Spirits don't like remodeling either. Cold spots, electrical equipment that works intermittently for no reason, tools that disappear and reappear in places where when you had been looking for them, you could have never missed them.
Finally this one comes from a guy on my tour that said he was renting a house with a laundry list of strange things that were happening. Later, by chance, he happened to be talking to the grandson of the previous tenant who the family had put in a nursing home for dementia. That grandson went right down the list of the reasons the family had put her in the nursing home that were the strange things he had experienced without any prompting. Don't be too quick to jump or judge.
