How To Make An Original Haunted House Story?

1

I have always been interested in writing haunted house stories, but it seems that everything I think up is totally cliche.
I’m not asking for ideas here, I’d just like to know how I can go about making a haunted house story non-cliche. I am mostly inspired with The Shining and The Amityville horror, so stories that are a little more on the psychological side.
Thanx!
