Would you give warning of ghosts in your STR?

Disclaimer:  I am not a believer in ghosts.

We owned a cabin on the Roaring Fork River in Gatlinburg that was over 200 years old.  We bought it in 2010, and it was called "Riverhaven" at that time.  It had a history of ghosts.  We started clean, renamed it, remodeled it, new listing.  But over the next 7 years, guests continued reporting invisible visitors fairly regularly.  Really bizarre, unexplainable things.  Well, it burned to the ground in 2017, and we built a brand new, genuine log cabin in its place. 

I figured if there was a ghost, or creaky walls or old pipes or whatever, all of that was gone.  Well guess what, guests are reporting visitors again.  ;)   Nothing scary or threatening, but visitors nonetheless.  My question to the forum is, would you give warning of this to prospective guests, or at least mention it?  I say no, my wife says yes.  Help us settle this!  Thank you!
