Its really not that bad, occurances don't happen that often. And this may sound kinda silly, but after my step dad was pushed down the steps my mom went to the top of the steps and proceeded to say that she didn't ever want to hear about someone else being pushed or knocked down the steps unless they deserve it. No one has been pushed down the steps since, but it was shortly after when we started seeing the old man around the steps.
If you think my place is bad... my dads house is worse. Occurances happen so often that it is more annoying then freaky.
As for the Hawaii "pushing" that is so true! I have a coworker who was stationed there for like 15 years and I remember him telling very similar stories about being pushed into his bed and not being able to move and when he was "allowed" back up he would see women in ancestoral native dress standing there staring at him and they would disappear.
