Fear + Negative Vibes = GHOSTS!

Ghost is an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest

to the living, typically as a nebulous image. Ghosts are probably one of the greatest fears of
an individual, but the question is do they really exist or they are just one of the imaginations
of humankind?
Some people claim that they have already seen a ghost, some people says that they
can feel the presence of these said ghosts and some also says that there is a scientific
explanation about ghosts and other paranormal activities. My belief in ghosts is very
inconsistent. I can consider myself as a brave one before watching a horror movie but after
that everything tends to change, maybe it is just because of the movie I have watched, or it
can also be my belief about it that has been taught to me when I was still a kid. I dont
exactly believe in ghosts most of the time but sometimes fear fills up my whole body which
causes me to be scared of ghosts.
I havent had some personal encounters about ghosts or spirits but I do have lots of
imaginary encounters about it. It usually occurs most especially when I am alone, when my
surrounding is very quiet wherein you cant even recognize any noise. During that quiet time,
lots of imaginations will pop-up onto my mind such as there is somebody staying under my
bed and will later pull my feet, someone will just appear in front of the mirror when I am
brushing my teeth, I sometimes feel that someone keeps on staring at me knowing that
nobody is around. I dont know what triggers me to feel that kind of things but it is kind of
freaking me out most of the time.

Are ghosts good or evil? I think maybe some are good and some are also bad at the
same time. I mean based on the previous movies that I have watched such as conjuring and
insidious, they both portray bad ghosts I think. Maybe the ghosts or spirits of our relatives
who are already dead are the ones who are good because after all, they are our relatives so
they will not do anything to hurt us or scare us, right?
For me, ghosts are not real; they are just the products of our creative and imaginative
minds. Maybe they are just what we call the positive and negative energies that we feel.
Energy means a persons physical and mental powers, typically as applied to a particular task
or activity. Based on the definition provide earlier, our energy could be analogous to our
mental powers wherein we overthink something which leads to paranoiac or which causes us
to feel scared at some things that didnt really existed. Perfect example? GHOSTS!
