For instance, a ghost that used to live in a place and now is attached to it because they died suddenly or unfairly. And the resolution is usually positive in a way. Instead of the ghost causing chaos, it might be befriended or helped in some way by the living character. There's also the use of soft, spooky elements like a cold breeze or a flickering light that sets the mood without being too terrifying.
