No dark alleys without muggers.
A mugger or gang of muggers corners the protagonist(s) in a dark alley or street when suddenly, a vigilante hero descends from a nearby roof top. They beat the snot out of the bad guys and leave the protagonist(s) standing there with a pile of bruised bad guys and a stern admonition to stay on the straight and narrow, or else.
The local haunted house is in fact haunted—and the ghosts there would appreciate it very much if you helped them convince the new buyer that this is definitely not the case. What ghost does not want their draughty, rickety old Victorian to be renovated for a sale?
Grandma died and now her nurse turned up a will leaving the house to the nurse. Grandma's ghost is following her son around, and those sensitive to otherworldly presences might even perceive her -- though whether she's gloating that the loaf of a son isn't getting a dime, or wringing her hands because the evil nurse is stealing the inheritance, who knows?
A neighbour down the street builds a shed in their yard, with boarded-up windows and strange contraptions on the roof. Sometimes, strangers come and go at night, collars up and hiding their faces behind scarves and under hats; some of them are oddly dressed -- steampunk, emo, goth, and even some furries. Some of them are very odd-looking. Turns out it's the local tabletop roleplaying game group and they just like to set the mood for extra immersion.To generate more suggestions, simply refresh the page.
