The Frighteners

The Frighteners - in which Michael J Fox walks the fuzzy line between helping people and grifting them, while trying to work out some grief. Frank Bannister is the main guy, aka protagonist, and he's got some ghosts that work for him, they do hauntings he sends them to do, and he makes money by "exorcising" the affected homes. He used to be an architect, but he gave up when his wife died a few years ago, and he lives in a home with weather draping instead of windows. So, this is all the normal set up, plus, there's been an epidemic of healthy people having heart attacks. Also, Bannister is an abysmal driver. This leads to him crashing into a fence in some yuppie's yard, like, destroying it, and so he sends his ghosts to haunt the yuppie's place so he won't have to pay the damages. However, Bannister's plan kind of backfires when he gets there to exorcise the ghosts that have been causing ONE NIGHT of havoc, and he sees a weird number burned into the yuppie's forehead. But, like, ghost burned in. The yuppie is married this nice doctor lady, and she is watching History Channel documentaries on the subplot - some murders that happened year 20 years ago, and the woman who was recently released after serving time for "accessory after the fact," happens to live in her town! Wow! Great. Okay, so, the yuppie dies of a heart attack, even though he was super-fit, and its obviously related to the number on his forehead.
      Bannister meets Yuppie as a ghost, who begs him to talk to the doctor's wife for him, so Bannister accidentally ends up on a date with her, and she is super cute. The rest of the plot follows the numbers on the forehead thing, as Bannister keeps seeing these numbers, and then those people die, and then he is associated with a growing pile of dead people, and the cops, whom he is friends with, still have to look twice at the evidence that is staring them in the face. The FBI sends Jeffrey Combs to investigate Bannister, or so he says, but he is such a wierdo, that its possible that he came to town on his vaca and just brought his badge. So, in the meantime, the doctor goes to the house to investigate that weird girl that was recently released from state prison, oh, the first time she went there was in response to a call for medical attention, and the elderly mother was mean, but its whatever. Either the mother was choking the ex-con, or her ghost boyfriend was. Either way, she's pretty banged up. Bannister, meanwhile, is trying to track down the horrible ghost monster he's been seeing kill people, but it isn't easy. He finally figures out that it is the ghost of Jake Busey, the guy who murdered a ton of people 20 years ago, and he got the chair for his crimes. But his girlfriend never stopped worshiping him, so, I guess he's a high-powered ghost, and he's still doing as much murder as he can. Bannister and the doctor get to the mansion and try to get Busey's ashes to consecrated ground, Jeffery Combs shows up and gets in the way, but Bannister and the doctor win in the end. They live happily ever after, in a house with windows.
