Over here in the US we can always blame an "Indian burial ground" for the hauntings in new buildings. In Britain I suppose you have to blame barrow wights or something.
I work in major construction in the U.K. and when things go wrong I always joke that we must be building on an old “injun” burial ground.
As an aside whenever we build in London these days the archaeologists get free reign over the site for several months and on a recent large project at Shoreditch they uncovered a few Roman burials, which is very common. However all the problems we had with the later building seemed to manifest in the corner directly over where the burials were found.
Now thinking about it I may start another thread on haunted construction sites as it is quite common to hear rumours of such strange happenings, probably more so with older buildings being refurbished.
