This MIGHT be what you are trying to say but I'm not sure:

'I told people that it was a haunted house so they would stay away from it.'

Hi,

If you want to use this idiom, put something across (somebody), you need to keep 'put ' and 'across' very close together. eg you might say something like

I wanted to put it across that it was a haunted house.
