You previously had a version of postgresql earler than 9.6 installed.
These older versions use the userid 'pgsql' and the default location for
the data store is /usr/local/pgsql/data

With postgresql 9.6 that changed.  The userid is now 'postgres' and the
datastore location should be /var/db/postgres/data96

See the 20160905 entry in UPDATING

If you've got a postgresql data area as /var/lib/pgsql/9.6, you must
have configured that locally.  (Looks like a too-strict copy of the
usual Linux layout, perhaps.)  This is most likely to contain a more
recent copy of your databases.

Check /etc/rc.conf -- most of these settings can be overridden in the
database startup

	Cheers,
