Perhaps it is not the ghost itself that we are afraid of, so much as what it represents. In other words, fear of the unknown in that the ghost is coming from a world that we cannot see and have no knowledge of. Maybe also it is the association with death that scares us. Or do we feel that, because we are encountering an immortal being, it must automatically possess power over us, even when it did not do so in life?
While these thoughts and feelings are understandable, they are not really rational, and perhaps are the main reason why the majority of people cannot see visitors from the spirit world. The irrational fear of such an experience perhaps serves to block it from actually occurring. Children and animals, who do not have these thoughts, see and hear our spirit friends far more readily.
Very young children are not afraid of spirits. It is only as they grow older and realise that other people are afraid of them, that they develop their own fear. The chances are that a baby or toddler in particular is unable to distinguish between earthbound people and those from the spiritual planes and therefore communicates with both in exactly the same way. Babies babbling away in their cots are not necessarily babbling away to themselves!

I believe there are ghosts because they haunt houses Ghost justs freak people out by mysteriously just doing something freaky like slamming a door shut real hard with no one there and much more.

I believe in ghosts... and that they are the souls of dead people... as we know not all people have a kind soul... some are extremely angry or just plain evil... some are just bratty and want attention... so why would the ghosts not still have these traits...
I am scared of those ghosts...

People are afraid of ghosts because most people fear death and are afraid the ghost will kill them. Plus it is hard to hide from something that can go through anything.

I haven't seen them, I do belive in them though.
People are afraid of the unknown, and since a house is a sanctuary, they fear that sanctuary being breached in someway and not beig able to do anything about it.
Which is why robbery can be a phobia.

because it's something we are not sure or understand what they are or how strange things happened. I never seen one but I experienced the unexplained situation.
