The Unknown brings about a certain fear. This is the reason why we are scared of ghosts. Most people do not have an understanding of ghosts and such things. What we do not understand, we often fear.

We are usually fed with all the scary ghost stories as we go through childhood. Nobody ever stops to tell us the truth about ghosts.

I have in fact been able to see ghosts or spirits since I was a very young child. It has become part of my knowing that the feelings of fear or dread that we can sometimes allow to overwhelm us, is actually being almost transferred from the ghost/spirit. We can actually pick up on these feelings. Most people are not even aware that this is occurring for them. It is a simple energy transfer.

People often refer to a house or a room as having a good or a strange vibe', this is the energy of the area that is being felt. This would be one of the simplest ways for spirits to interact with us. It doesn't take too much of their energy to achieve this. Unfortunately for them it is very often misinterpreted or completely overlooked all together.

As children, my sister and I would be sent to turn on a water pump, for some reason whenever we were near this pump house fear would overtake us completely. Years later when we were old enough to understand, our mother told us of the ghost that was hiding there. He must have been being hunted in life and still thought that he was being hunted. The fear we were feeling was not actually our, but the fear he was feeling, being picked up energetically by my sister and myself.

Ghosts/Spirits are mainly looking for help or assistance of some kind. To communicate they will project what happened to them, most are actually still experiencing this over and over. They try to give us a sense of what has happened to them, how they passed etc in a desperate bid for understanding. Not understanding and so misinterpreting what is trying to be communicated usually makes us scared. That is why we are scared of ghosts.

The first time that a ghost attempted to put across to me the way in which they had passed, it did scare the hell out of me. It was the feeling of being choked and not able to breathe at all. I could physically still breathe, but the fear I was feeling in that moment convinced me that I was actually being choked. After this experience it was explained to me what had actually happened.

We don't actually need to be scared of ghosts, it is a choice.
