Why Are People Scared Of Ghosts?

Most people are afraid of what they can't explain. Like some people say, "If I can see or touch it then it's real". Ghosts are not something you can touch, but they can touch you. If you are afraid and show your fear then what you fear will get you. There are demonic entities out there. Those are the ones you need to fear. They feed on it.

It is the unknown and people are usually afraid of that which they do not understand or know a reasonable explanation of what it is.

Ghosts are just persons who died but in soul they are alive.....it's  nature to those souls because i think they have so many things to accomplished and not yet done so they keep on doing it....these unusual event may happen everyday for as long they had their loved ones.....it is normal to us people who will scared of ghosts because of what their situation has,they died because of so many reasons,and we could not blame them ,may it's godwill but some do revenge....that could be the possible answer on that particular question...

It depends on why they are actually afraid of the ghost. Is it the ghost itself.....or what it looks like? Some people just get scared by the sight of it. Other people might get scared by how it looks. Sometimes spirits have something unfinished in the mortal world, so they come back to do it. And until they finish....they probably won't "cross over". Other times, i think maybe they just want company...or to tell people what happened to them.

People fear what they don't understand and i don't say that for you to go understand ghost ,but you need to understand there is a whole nother realm out there and it's the spiritual realm being good or evil and what you don't wanna do is fear evil at all , cause they don't have any jurisdiction if you believe in GOD.For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind is what his word say's , so when fear comes remind your self what God said and it can't bother you any more , cause GOD rules! Weather you or anyone believe or not.

What needs to be thought here is who coined the term ghost and was it created as a sort of mental mechanism to frighten people. I believe you will find the answer is yes.

People think about them too much that they fill as if they are present.
