Ghost

Ghost. What is a ghost? According to www.answers.com, a ghost is:

1. The spirit of a dead person, especially one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats.
2. The center of spiritual life; the soul.
3. A demon or spirit.
4. A returning or haunting memory or image.

Now, some people might believe in ghosts, while some don't (in this case, there are some unique cases where those who don't believe in them are forced to believe because of religion/cult). To those who don't believe in ghosts, they probably have not experienced or encountered any of those eerie or spooky events that might lead to believing them.

And for those who believe in ghosts...either you are forced to believe or personally believe in them, I will not say anything to insult or isolate them. For me, i would say that i don't believe in ghosts although when i was young i was always terrified to stay home alone and have nightmares when i sleep alone. That is always the case for me because life has been so cruel (or kind?) to make me the only son in my family. Imagine;

1. Walk - alone
2. Sleep - alone
3. Stay home - alone
4. Play - alone
5. Shopping - alone

Because of my way of life, i was brought up in such a dreadful manner (always thinking that something might pop up and scare the shit out of me) that i eventually start to put aside the fact that ghosts don't exist. If they exist, i would have experienced many terrifying events while i was alone last time. I once have a friend who was always intimidated by strange noises in her place and i thought to myself, "These things can be scientifically explained and there's nothing to worry about unless its the case of a thief or something...". In fact, what's worse than a ghost is a human!

I'm more afraid of people around me than ghosts. You know, ghosts aren't that bad after all. They are souls/beings that are trapped here or in worse case scenario, just here to have revenge. Humans on the other hand, they intend to do crimes such as rape, murder, robbery, hijacking/carjacking/plane-jacking, suicide bombings and whatnot. Damn, these people need to be taught a lesson, perhaps drowning them in a pool of their own blood? Wahaha!

As I have watched many horror shows before, i gradually get to understand the nature of ghosts and why they seem to scare people a lot. They are afraid of you, so they try to scare you so that you don't disturb them (or some sort...). In other cases, people might have the 3rd eye ability that they don't realize and they start seeing "things" which make them feel insecure and frightened, thus creating rumours. Otherwise, they're just spirits who wants justice (yes, they have laws too, they were humans afterall).

So don't be afraid if you encounter these spooky/eerie events. Think positively and try to gather an explanation for what's happening during the time and of course, pray hard. Pray that the one making the sound is not someone who's trying to rob your money and kill you after that.
