Best thing to do for a ghost is to say clearly "Please don't give me any trouble!" and usually they won't.

Personal experience: My uncle moved into a house which was rumoured to have a ghost living there, he stated clearly "leave me alone!" or something (under the guidance of my mum) and there were no problems. When he moved out he visited the old house and the new people, only for them to ask him if the place was haunted! apparently, they have had they're baby's toys being thrown across the room and doors slammed in the middle of the night ...

Remember though, you should respect him/her/it ...

oh and a point on poltergeists - they are drawn mainly to teenage girls who are in distress or who are having a shitty time! But Christy's right, they don't want to cause any harm ... in fact most ghosts don't ... they're just stuck!
