Why are we afraid of ghosts?

Despite people who claim that they do not afraid of ghosts, they still get shocked when one of the ghost factors executed.

e.g. wind, sound, fake figure or disguise

I also see some ghost shows that people who do not afraid of ghost at the end experienced and more afraid than people who declared afraid.

    Who is we? And why the hell would you believe anything you see on TV?

    Forget what you've seen on TV, because it's all complete BS. TV and movies are called entertainment for a reason, and entertainment exists because reality is boring. Even reality TV is made up. Reality is that thing that happens when you turn the TV off, not on.

    In reality, most people who encounter suspected ghosts aren't the least bit afraid when it happens. That's because ghosts are only frightening on TV.

    Thoughts and dreams have 3 sources:

    1)God and angels,

    2)demons,

    3)yourself.

    Most thoughts and dreams are from demons.

    Demons never do good.

    Pray the Jesus prayer slowly always:

    "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner."

    To have normal sleep, pray to your guardian angel. Also, sleep clothed.

    Concerning any thought or dream, consult your local Orthodox Christian priest.

    Demons pretend to be ghosts and aliens. Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons.

    If you're in trouble (demon "alien" abduction, about to be 666ed, sleep paralysis), then pray the Jesus prayer.

    In early 1990s, I saw one shadowy spirit who attacked me with paralysis and I was afterwards saved by another spirit of a different kind. The latter spirit was around the next night, only to protect me from the other spirit.

    From those nights, I was afraid of all ghosts including my guardian, who apologised for giving me any fright to me. My guardian tried his best to reassure me but failed. It took me few years to acclimatise to his presence. By then, he was the only one ghost that I felt safest with.

    To this day, he is still a good ghost, one of the gentlest types of ghosts that I have ever come across. He came many times into my life to save me from further demonic attacks, also from other dangers like crimes, fires, choking, heart attacks, haemorrhage, etc. He has over 20 times saved me from dangers.

    My mother and sister know about this ghost. He too saved their lives. He is with us. The rest of my family do not know about him. We keep him a secret. Besides, our ghost is very quiet and undetectable.

    I've seen a ghost and honestly I wasn't scared but my friend was and I think it's because how they're portrayed in movies.
