What HHNAmber said is probably true. Now speaking of the Greek myth type of house, over this past year I did a project on Greek myth so I know some about them, one that comes to mind when talking about a haunted house would be the myth of Procrustes who would bring in travelers to stay and sleep in his house. He told them the bed had a unique talent that it would be the perfect size for the traveler, once the traveler had laid on the bed he would either cut their legs off if they were too tall or, he would stretch them by their hands and feet if they were to short.
