"like" Sixth Sense plot development

I am trying to write a plot about a guy who can see ghosts. Eventually he becomes famous because he can solve people's problems with ghosts. What kind of enemies and obstacles could he possibly face?

1. Well, I could make it that antagonists try to kill him because they don't want to be caught for murder. He would learn to defend himself.

2. Bad ghosts. Ghosts that could cause him problems.

valeca is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm not sure what you want us to say, really. You've pretty much answered your own question. Not to mention, it's your story...you figure it out.

I suppose the 'seeing ghosts' part could be sort of like Sixth Sense, but I see more of 'Medium' in this.

Thanks.

I was just looking for feedback. Whether or not that plots were good?

I'm not sure what the plot is from what you've said . Certainly the basic idea has been done before, so I'm sure it can be done again if you have a good plot to go with it.

The main issue I'd have is that ghosts can presumably be anywhere at any time, so you'd probably have to put deliberate barriers in the way to prevent him from solving things too easily. For example, if someone got murdered, he could obviously just ask their ghost who did it, so there wouldn't be any difficulty there.

sorry, but there are no 'plots' there to tell if they're good or not... just the start of a concept, or plot premise... you need to develop this into an actual plot, before asking for opinions...
