Ghosts

Yes, it's normal to be afraid of things that go bump in the night. Ignore everything above here that talks about ghosts being real, the bible, etc.

There are no such things as ghosts. There is a rational explanation for every noise, every light, every movement you perceive in the dark.

If you are uneasy about sleeping with the light off, then don't, but if ghosts actually existed do you think they'd be scared off by a light bulb?

there is no such thing as "ghosts". if one sees or has seen anything that you deem ghostlike it's actually a demon in its mission to perpetuate the false religious belief of the afterlife; one's "immortal soul" coming back for whatever reason. those who don't believe in God, well you're entitled to your beliefs. if you do believe in God AND ghosts, consider this closely: if God puts people in one of two places when they die, either heaven or the nonexistent hell, then you've got to reason that if the most powerful being in the universe places you where he wants there's NO escape, EVER, PERIOD! if it was a "good" ghost you saw, maybe a relative warning you over impending danger, it's still a demon. that's why angels were created. they help those who are worthy without being aware of it till after the danger is over. later, after seeing what danger we escaped we realize we couldn't have escaped it all by ourselves. as for those we figure are in "hell", do you actually think a person who has been condemned to such a place could EVER possibly escape? that God or satan doesn't have the power to keep them there? if God put you in prison you'd NEVER escape to do more harm to people, like scaring them or possessing them. in actuality when a person dies they cease to exist at all. nowhere did it say in the Bible where after Christ's friend Lazarus was resurrected did he complain about Christ tearing him away from heaven, his angelic state. God says very clearly in Ecclesiastes 9:4,5: "For as respects whoever is joined to all the living there exists confidence, because a live dog is better off than a dead lion. 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten." also consider ecclesiastes 3:19,20: "19 For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust." the righteous will be resurrected back to life on earth. the wicked shall be forgotten and will never know the infinite pleasures of eternal life in a paradise earth. there are no ghosts. only demons trying to mislead and frighten people. it's what they live to TRY to accomplish. don't let them win. now you know the truth. if you have a ouija board btw, burn it.

Ghosts are not real. There is nothing to be afraid of. However, angels and demons do exist.

ofc it is normal, ghosts are real. stupid.

I really only say no because I dont think ghost exist

Ghosts won't hurt you, if the entity harms you in any way, chances are it's probably a demon.

Yes- but- which is more plausible? That a ghost is staring at you through the earless? With zero evidence of paranormal activity ever captured? Or that your mind has convinced you to be afraid. There is nothing in the dark but the terrors of time passing.

yeah it just sounds like a fear nothing big it just takes time watch some tv get your mind of it and praying makes me feel and dont use an ouija board no matter what if you do you really will have a deamon on you but im 99% shure its just a fear that will eventually go away it just takes time

wat da crap... lites part stil digstbl.. rest unsafe at ur place . liv in temple or make ur rum same.. wear enchnmnts.. mite help..nd get rid of hardcore baba's if u seeing 1... nd believ in karma...

Sign of insecurity.

if you're being haunted then go to a priest but if you are being haunted by your own mind, watch a funny show or movie or read before you go to bed and try to get your mind off of it at least you'll sleep ...stop watching scarry stuff and focus on good things

People rate these stories in wrong way. Just because YOU don't feel that way, doesn't mean its not normal.

I don't fear ghost, but fear of ghost is perfectly normal.

I think it's perfectly normal.
People often say that there's no such thing as ghosts but there's that slight possibility.
I'm the exact same, I sleep with the main light on and I'm terrified of films that have ghosts in them.
I don't even have a history of ghosts that I know of in my house, I just get scared at night or whenever I'm alone upstairs/downstairs or generally in the house on my own.
So don't worry, you're not alone. :)

No, it is not normal. It is a kind of phobia. And a phobia is just an irrational fear that takes some specific pretext to express itself.
You must be a very stressful and over sensitive person. Try to begin calming down in general, and then to use some phobia-fading techniques.

After doing dramamine, I had trouble sleeping in the dark. I just knew that someone bad was in my house, I knew that if I closed my eyes someone would chop my head off, etc. This also sometimes happens for a few days after some serious toking.

It's normal. Everyone gets paranoid about things. Ghosts are something that we don't understand, and some people are very afraid of them because of this. It's normal. =]

I have the same exact problem :( my grandma fell and died in my house and has been seen by friends and I have her room and it scares the shit out of me. I can't help it. sometimes when I'm sleeping I hear someone breathing over me but am too scared to open my eyes. nevertheless, I've never been injured and apparently you haven't either, so I think you'll be okay :)

My grandma was a gypsy. She told me that if I see a ghost the best thing to do is not even let them know that you see them. The next thing is to open a Bible and start reading. This was really her reply. I don't think that having to sleep with the lights on is normal. I think you are living a very stressful life and need to think about how to manage whatever kind of lifestyle you have. See your doctor about the effects of whatever drugs you may be taking has on your nerves. Believe it or not, alcohol can have a negative effect on your nerves too.

Pretty normal.I used to have this fear till I was around...14ish.Though I still get creeped out by horror movies,Im pretty much over the general fear.

i fear them terribly 2 i try 2 say who has ever been killed by a ghost them it hits me where are the millions of ppl who go missing and r never found wat if im next

I have the same problem.. i wish i could help it. i find myself staying up in bed scared.. watching tv until the sun comes up then going to bed.. bad i know.. but i really cannot help it.

Don't listen to most of the comments. Ghosts can harm you... but have they? If they haven't harmed you or messed with you and you REALLY think your house is haunted, then I would suggest having a priest come out and bless your house. And if you think you need to talk to people about what you've seen and heard... talk to a counselor. It should help.... and if the ghosts have not bothered you then you have nothing to worry about. They're just like us. They just are like... invisible most of the time. They're people too. Its like being scared of a guy born with 3 legs. They're normal and a lot of people experience them.

the bogey man is under the bed too

if it really is that bad, u shud read a funny book before bed or somthin...

Ghost are not physical they can not harm you in any way but scare you I seen so many ghost it doen't bother me anymore I just grin when I get a glimps of one.

Me too, I used to but not right now. I think you should have some one to sit next to you. one who would make you laugh and put that beautiful smile on your face.....the second option is have tv next to you or radio so you would forget about anything........... (((It may work)))

only if you're in elementary, or if it only happens once in a while.

just trust me when i say that no one has been brutally injured by a ghost

Ghosts, souls, goblins, Santa clause do not exist. There isn%%u2019t anything to be scared of, so stop it. Seriously these things do not exist. Religion has put a lot of fear in your mind; non-belief is the way to go. Gain power back over your life and be rational. Believing in invisible people is ridiculous, seriously. Movies are fantasy nothing more.
