It was funny! The folks who live there were very, "Eh, whatever," about it. They put the tree where the original family used to have it, and it stopped getting knocked down. Easy. Problem solved. Nothing as dramatic or scary as what you see on TV.
Virginians (well, those of us in the historic district anyway) are raised not to fear, but to respect our ghosts. Actual belief in ghosts varies, but most of us regard them the same way we regard snakes and wasps--don't bother them, and they won't bother you.
