- Subverted: The family moves to house where strange things seem happen but they are mostly coincidences.
- Double Subverted: ...well those were, anyway.

- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Bob's family moves houses, nothing happens.
- Enforced: Bob's family is forced by contract to move to the house to inherit it.
- Lampshaded: "Honey, are you sure you want to move there? I have a bad feeling about this."

- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Bob's family moves to the house in order to show people that it doesn't have problems.
