I think that's a bit of an urban legend. If there are ghosts, and I'm not saying there are, I know people who swear they have friendly ghosts from former owners who died of natural causes and were simply strongly attached to their homes.

As for ghosts, real or not, can someone cite a proven case of a ghost actually killing someone? I don't mean panicking someone into jumping off a cliff. I mean stabbing, shooting, beating someone to death. I've certainly never heard of such a case.
