Trying to find my way around the site and get a bit of info, but not finding what I need. The oddball names make a quick search a bit counter-intuitive in that time has to be spent figuring out what each means in order to remove it from the list of possible tropes.
The trope I'm looking for deals with plot, but I'm having trouble finding it. All supernatural horror act like mysteries in the middle of the second act when the hero investigates the original crime that killed the ghost. That original crime gives the ghost the excuse to commit more crimes (murder generally) and penalize the living for trespass, for ignoring them, and for not spending the time to find their bones, I want to look at the supernatural horror movies that explore the original crime and how it's handled as well as other reasons a ghost would act out on the living.
Thanks.
