I think some of them get a bit disgruntled when you fail to be suitably scared of them! My mum has a ghost at her house and it used to tease her dog. I got very annoyed indeed with it and shouted at it. I was SO angry. Next day it pushed the (8 foot) Christmas tree over and I just picked it up and sorted it out, all along, loudly questioning the validity of the union between the ghost's parents at the time of his/her birth. There is still something/someone there, and a smell of mothballs tends to float round the place, but there's no feeling of hostility and it doesn't tease the dogs anymore. Not even when scary Mrs Lizzy isn't there!
Blimey !!! ROFLOL !!
I was laughing like a mad woman reading about this and could see this poor ghost stood shaking in the corner while you called it everything from a pig to a dog. He was probably wondering to himself "Aren't we the ones that are supposed to scare them??
"
We have a few ghosts here at the hotel and one of them is a little old man. He doesn't like messy, noisy kids but he just happens to be in one of the rooms that I made into a Family room so he has no choice. When we first started here he was terrible for scaring them by turning the lights in and off and it was always when the kids were messy or very noisy. After 6 months of white faced guests every morning I told him that the kids paid and he was there for free so he had to put up with them or move elsewhere. He's still here and now and again does the lights if we have noisy groups in but he leaves the kids alone. He now picks on noisy stag groups in that room.
