How do you stop fearing ghosts?

Question

Sometimes I just know they are around and I try not to pay attention to them. Sometimes I'll tell myself that I'm seeing things or hearing things and my mind is only making it worse. But even so, I don't mind that they are around. I also know that they don't want anything from me.

It's just that when they are near, I can't help but feel scared. I think it's just a natural fear of the unknown, but still I would like to learn to be more relaxed around them. I could go in denial and just not believe in them, but I don't want to lie to myself; I KNOW they are there. I'd prefer to just reduce the amount fear that I experience while they are around.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you.

Answer 1

talk to them

Answer 2

if they don't interact with you or physicaly effect you then try to ignore them.If you can communicate with them find out if they have accepted the fact that they are dead and help them to cross over,or you could try the tried but true defense of putting your head under your covers and closing you eyes really tight.Remember if you can't see them then they can't...uh..well they can still see you but you won't see them

Answer 8

I stopped fearing them when I stopped assuming they exist.  Read up on the skeptical angle and you will see there is plenty of reason to think things such as ghosts might not exist.  Naturally, as you said, fear works hand in hand with the unknown.  If you teach yourself about these things in an honest and open-minded manner, you will be much less likely to be afraid of the idea of ghosts.  It worked for me.

Answer 9

Change that fear into a fascination. It's pretty hard to overcome a fear of something, but it can be done.

Answer 10

There is not any reason to fear ghosts....... have you ever heard about anyone beat up by one? Most .... people think are just lost souls. Get some sage and burn it around your home it will help cleanse it. If this fails and your still bothered get a cement block and wear it around your neck for one week .... this is sure to cause all ghosts to leave you alone

Answer 11

might this all be in your head? i mean if you are fearful of these "ghosts" your mind will play tricks on you. which will probably make you even more fearful and paranoid about "ghosts". get a hold of yourself and realize that ghosts cannot harm you. you should be more fearful of humans.

also, if you're seriously that afraid. try a cleansing.

Answer 12

well, i think it's about playing a tennis match with your mind. learn how to trick/beat it.

buy a bracelet or a necklace or whatever pendant - the more ancient look the better - and try to convince yourself that having it around you keeps them at a decent distance and they cannot do you any harm.

they can't anyway.

Answer 13

for pd....I think it's more true that "ignorance is bliss" sometimes. If there are ghosts around and you don't know it...you don't have fear. My fear is from  realizing they were around and weren't good. (I can handle the good ones being around...but how can you tell??)(pd..don't answer that. I know already that you can't tell!!)

Answer 14

maybe you should try the "mind over matter" and try telling yourself that ghosts dont exist.

Answer 15

Dude call the ghost busters!!

Answer 16

Ghost do have the sense of smell. I suggest that you eat a lot of beans and crack off farts when they are around. I'll guarantee you that they will leave.

Answer 17

I believe when a person gets fearful there is the chance his/her senses maybe become more acute as a result of chemical changes resulting from the fear.

Chances are you are either paying more attention to the noises or else hearing what you wouldn't otherwise notice or else, too, there's the chance it is just coincidence.

Any chance there's a mouse (or more than one) in the house, and when you get quiet it gets active; but if you're up and around and putting lights on it hides again?

I get noises in my house even when I'm not "thinking spooky". They just happen - humidity changes make noises start, walls sound like they're cracking, etc. Heat coming on after not being on makes all kinds of noises.

As long as you can rule out animals or people, just assume your walls are cracking or else the heat is doing something and relax. (You're right to stay up and get yourself out of the spooky frame-of-mind, though.)

Any chance your heat gets lowered before people go to bed, and the house has gotten colder, so the heat kicks back on a little around the time you're trying to sleep? I don't believe in them, and you shouldn't either.

Answer 18

Tell Them To Go To God.  It Will Only Get Worst :[

Answer 19

There is nothing like Ghosts. It is an imaginary conception of mind.Relaxing my mind with yoga activities--I shall try to have a tensionless sleep at night--Having a limited and restricted foods. Advise you to follow the procedure.

Answer 20

Hello Rich

Gain knowledge about your own spiritual nature. It is natural to feel fear of the unknown, it is placed in us not only from our subconscious need for survival but also from our upbringings.

You yourself are spirit, there is nothing to fear.

The living are far more of a problem than the dead!

Answer 21

Treat them as humans since they were once humans, and if they  meant no harm, there shouldn't be much fear. Or simply ignore them.

Answer 22

Try not to think about it. If you live alone play some music, that always helps.

Answer 23

Talk to them if you cant. Be friends with them. Be brave.

Answer 24

There is solid evidence for Ghosts. The White House may be the most haunted place in America, along with Williamsburg, Va

Even Martin Luther saw ghosts. But, If you just tell them to leave in Jesus name, they go.

Answer 25

Have you ever just said, "Thank You for stopping by.  I know you are here, but I can't help you because I'm not comfortable with you yet.  So, do yourself & me a favor & move on to someone else who is ready to assist you.  I am not.  Maybe someday, but not today.  I wish you the best in your search.  Thank you & know that I care.  Please leave." ........ That is all you have to say.

Answer 26

Their energy causes a natural fear-like emotion in us. The same for other beings of spirit. The best you can do is get accustomed to it and expect it. It seems if your energy is a lot greater than theirs the effect is less. But if you try meditation to increase your energy remember it also opens you up.
