Rip the pipe out of his hand and spook him by trying to hit him with it. Doing damage isn't the goal, rather you're trying to get his attention and scare him, possibly allowing a victim to escape or get an upperhand.
You poltergeist the
shit out of the LOWLIFE THUG's lead pipe, causing him to stumble in surprise as it leaves his hand. A CAREERGUY gets a lucky hit in as a result. This counts as both a MODERATE SPOOK and MODERATE GHOSTLY VENGEANCE, granting you a much sought after MODERATE SPOOKY VENGEANCE! You gain a tremendous amount of exp!

use poltergeist noise making ability to mimic sirens approaching. that should scare off any lowlife thugs
An excellent idea! A LOWLIFE THUG is no match for several Level 1 Lawman - "Patrolman"s. As you try to make the noise, however, you discover something is amiss!
Due to the massive amount of exp you just gained, you leveled up! you are now a level 4 Ghost - "Sheet Ghost"! You are now visible, unable to possess inanimate objects, and made out of a sheet with a ghost face drawn on it with marker. No disembodied noises for you!

Poltergeist the gas pedal of one of the nearby cars and ram him.
Though you may not be able to Poltergeist a car anymore, as you are now a SHEET GHOST, you can still just kinda... float into an open door and push the gas pedal a bit. The nearby combatants seem oddly uninterested by the sheet floating over their heads. Maybe they've all seen ghosts before? It's possible. Maybe they just didn't notice you.
You find the nearest car and, using all of your strength, manage to
just barely move the accelerator. The car lurches forward!
Unfortunately, you failed to take steering into consideration. The car runs down a couple of pedestrians, including a BUSINESSMAN about to finish off the LOWLIFE THUG himself! With the BUSINESSMAN thrown off balance by your paranormal driving, the LOWLIFE THUG is able to finish him off with a blackjack swing!
As everyone knows, a BUSINESSMAN is worth a tremendous amount of exp. The LOWLIFE THUG begins to level once more! He becomes a Level 4 Criminal - "Basic Mobster"! Though more subdued than a LOWLIFE THUG, a BASIC MOBSTER is a master of intimidation, and prefers to end conflicts quickly rather than getting into more drawn-out fights. Not affiliated with any crime lords in particular, a BASIC MOBSTER works on a more freelance basis, simply taking jobs in organized crime as they come.
A black PROHIBITION ERA-VEHICLE filled with other BASIC MOBSTERS pulls up. While everyone else is still confused from the vehicular almost-slaughter, your BASIC MOBSTER quietly steps into the car, no doubt preparing to discuss organized crime plots and details with his fellow BASIC MOBSTERS.
It begins to dawn on you that you are actually pretty bad at revenge and vengeance.
