inside the mind of the person who fears ghosts

Sam was running fast in a dark place, he was shaking,his heart was beating in a fast rate and he was so afraid, all of his focus was on one thing, getting out of that place before any ghost suddenly attacks him, Sam’s mind was working hard in constructing different images of ghosts that may appear any second, Sam took a look behind him every 2 seconds just to make sure that no ghosts were there, whenever he heard any noise he shivered and quickly looked at the source of the noise to know whether it was something evil or its just something else.

fear of ghosts

Sam is like many other people who get afraid of dark places not to be attacked by ghosts or evil spirits, but the question here is, did Sam ever got attacked by a real ghost?

The answer is no, why does he fear ghosts then? Because he have never gave himself the chance to discover the truth or to face his fears. One of the subconscious mind’s rules is that the more the belief stays there the harder it can changed or challenged, and so as time passes Sam’s beliefs about ghosts were getting stronger and stronger, because he was just escaping them, he have never gave himself the chance to question them.

challenging your fear of ghosts

If you want truly to deal with this kind of fear, go to that dark place you fear most, but this time don’t run, just stay there, and shout “where are you”, your subconscious mind will probably reply saying “hey what are you doing , don’t be mad, you may get them angry”, shout again “what am I afraid of” , your subconscious mind may reply saying, “hey run before its too late, now you really bothered them” again collect your courage and say “I can’t find what I have been avoiding since years,why dont you attack me?”

I know this can be so difficult but just try to stay there as much as you can and after you find that you cant stay any more, go home, repeat that again several times, by time your subconscious mind will build new beliefs about dark places and about being attacked by ghosts, and you will discover that the source of your fears were the last thing that you could have though of, your mind.
