the same case is also with me..I also feel scary to be alone at night.I pass my whole time in our first floor appartment but at night time I really feel scary to go up..But somehow I manage to do that by imagining that ghosts doesn't exists amd if ghosts exists then god is also there and it will protect me from those evil scary things..In this way I manage to encourage myself..

I agree with you shyam..i never used to believe in ghosts before this incident.. That day i was all alone at home had a nice time watching television all day and cooked some food for ma self..it wuz fun and wuz tired..at night i wuz about to go to sleep i felt that therez some one in ma bed room..it was a very strong instinct though..i thought its thief or some thing n i quietly got a club and searched all over n could not find any one..I slept without caring much after that..then suddenly in the morning at arnd 3am some one slapped me hard ... it was damn tight slap and which in turn turned my status on high alert..i was damn scared and searched entire duplex house..for my astonishment der was no one..i came back to my bedroom and i couldn't sleep. Some thing happened after 10 min which i cannot explain..and that changed my whole mind set towards these paranormal beliefs..

Well I am single and live alone. There is nothing to fear about, it is just that you are not used to being alone. You said alone but you have a kid so where are you alone,raising a kid is a full time job you will have no time for fear.

Hi... i can understand your ...you cant share this even with others as they may laugh at you...but onething they are no ghosts its just our feeling which is built strong in our minds...so we think that ghosts are there...but actually there ghosts does not exist... you dont think about it that much k...... if you still feels very scared then better to consult psychiatrist and solve the problem which would be better one...all the best......

Don't feel bad. I am in my 40's and afraid to be in the dark by myself or even downstairs in my house when my family is upstairs sleeping! My fear comes from a couple of things that happened in my past, however. I just don't think I'll ever NOT be afraid at this stage in my life. I've just accepted it. I DO think there are "spirits" that can be either good or bad. Maybe you can have your home "blessed" with holy water. My husband did it to our home. Hope that doesn't sound corny? He's a big believer in the spiritual realm.

In the beganing of your discussion you said (I'm scared of ghosts) and in the 3d line you said (do ghosts really exsist). As I read you didn't see any ghost but you just scared of what you hear (stories, movies). Ghosts exsist, they can come in human or animal or evil or angle shap. In short words, If you beleive strongly in god, you know from you faith that god 'll protect you from any danger and you reach to this level of faith, I can tell you 100% no one can hurt you in this world. Just make praying the last thing you do before you sleep. (no scary movies, no screeming and don't plan any thing bad for the next day). Now you can sleep.

For me ghost dont exist. It's all in the mind. You must not be afraid of it even if they exist because they wont hurt you. You must be afraid with bad people and not with ghost. As bad people will truly hurt you. Sometimes we make our own thoughts that make us afraid. So Try to eliminate that no such thing. Pray to God that he will guide you and he will watch you from those elements.

I don't think that ghosts exist. I don't know what you can do to stop your fear. Try a couple of nights to walk in the house with all the lights off. Maybe put some music to relax you.

Yes I can see how this would be a problem.I think first of all if you stop thinking of ghosts when your at home alone and try to think of other things that will take your mind off been alone at home.Having the company of your child is nice and talking to your husband on the phone should help you to relax more.

Have you ever heard of Sylvia Brown? www.sylvia.org She is a very good renowned psychic. I did not believe alot of the spirits until I follow up with some her encounters. She is really good. I have grown to love and respect her. You should try to figure out why you have this fear and what you can do to get rid of this fear. It may sound crazy but it's not illusions that you have, it's real.

I personally don't believe in ghosts. You could have something similar to what I have..which is panic/anxiety. You may want to talk to your doctor about your symtoms. The best thing to do is to take your mind of what is bothering you..and tell yourself that everything is fine..and will be fine. Do deep breathing to try and relax..or take a walk. Try to keep busy...If this does not help..you may want to consider medication for a little while...and see if that helps...I understand how you feel....

i think it is just your fear that you are afraid of...ghosts do exist in this world as does God exist. but it is not necessary that they will harm you, they can also be good too....as for your fear, i should ask that why are you afraid of them, is it that you have seen them and are afraid or is it that you have just heard some weird ghost stories in your childhood and have got that fear in your mind that ghosts are bad and harmful. I would say that you should get engrossed in a hobby which you like to excel in or don get that thing or fear in your mind, whenever, you feel that somebody is there arounud you when you are alone, try to think of God and start praying. Also do meditate for a couple of minutes which will give you some relaxation...

Hello, Yes i beleive in ghosts but i also beleive that they cannot hurt you. i think that in terms of things of a paranormal nature they can only draw power if you give it to them by fearing them. I recommend that you try to relax, and visualise in impenaterable protection sphere around you and your child. This is a mind trick which should hopefully help calm you. But what makes it work is you beleiving in it. Paranormal things either good or bad are given power by beleif so just as you beleive in ghosts you must also beleive in your own ability to protect yourself from them. The other thing i know is that we attract the things to us which we concentrate upon. so by being scared of them and thinking of them alot you are attracting them. Realise you are in control and have WAY more power than them just be being alive and you can hopefully start to overcome your fear. Hope this helps, Tanika.
