Why are you afraid of ghosts?

Question 1: Why are people afraid of ghosts? Because, when human beings face other death threats, such as encountering tigers, being pointed at the head with a gun, or falling from a building, you will be afraid, because you are likely to die. However, this kind of fear is different from your fear when you face a ghost. Because in the real world's death threat, the world is still running according to common sense, and all your common sense and logic are completely established. You can try to kill the tiger, knock down the person who pointed the gun at you, or open the parachute while falling, all of which can save your life. And even if you can't save yourself, when you are dying, you can fully understand why you died. In short, dead or alive, everything is known. However, in the face of ghosts, the situation is completely different. The world became incomprehensible. Your common sense and logic are not good. Ghosts can subvert everything. It may go through the wall, it may suddenly appear, it may suddenly disappear, it may sneer, it may cry, it may twist its body, it may hold its head. In a word, everything is unknown. When facing a tiger, you can use weapons to defend yourself, when facing a pistol, you can use bulletproof vests to protect yourself, and when you fall, you can use a parachute to save yourself. But how can you protect yourself from ghosts? The answer is powerless. The result is that you are extremely insecure, because nothing can protect you. This extreme unknown leads to extreme insecurity. Is the root of all fear. This is why people are afraid of ghosts.

So when we understand why people are afraid of ghosts, everything will be solved. For ordinary people, there are two ways to ease their fear of ghosts. The first is to protect the body with Buddha statues. Why can this alleviate human fears? Because human beings have gained a sense of security through Buddha statues. Obtained the known. It is known that under the protection of the Buddha statue, the absurd world brought by ghosts has been curbed, at least within the protection of the Buddha statue, and the world order has been corrected. Your common sense and logic work again. Second, people are not afraid of ghosts. Some people say that because there are many people, they share the fear of ghosts, or because there are many people, the chances of ghosts killing you become smaller. Actually, it's all beside the point. Because ghosts can kill everyone at the same time, or when there are many people, there will be more ghosts. In this way, you can't share the fear of ghosts, and you can't reduce the chance of being killed by ghosts, but you are not so afraid. Why? Or because the world knows it. Because ghosts are unknown and incomprehensible. On the contrary, people know and understand. So when others appear, your world has a known and understandable part. Your fears will decrease.

Question 2: Why are people afraid of ghosts? 1. This is the most essential reason: human beings are always afraid of the unknown.

2. From ancient times to the present, the descriptions of "ghosts" in various folklore and literary works are always gloomy, gloomy, horrible and frightening. Under this influence, I am afraid that few people feel sunny and relaxed when they think of "ghosts".

3. In modern times, since human beings invented the film and the film industry appeared, horror films were born. In the century of film development, I don't know how many horror films are telling terrible ghost stories, aiming at causing psychological and sensory shock to the audience. As a modern person who has seen at least some movies, the image of "ghost" in our hearts has been further concretized and demonized. So no one will think ghosts are cute rather than scary.

Question 3: Why are many people around me afraid of ghosts? First of all, from the external environment. At night, the environment is dim and the line of sight is blurred. It can provide convenience for criminals and robbers to hide and commit crimes; It can also make unfamiliar things very strange and appear eerie. Because the questioner is concerned about "ghosts", this topic focuses on the latter situation.

People are more comfortable with what they know at a glance, but they are prone to doubt and anxiety about unknown and unfamiliar things. Therefore, when night falls, even in a simple room like a student dormitory, it will soon get dark. Against the hazy background, you will feel haunted when you are alone. As a result, things that are suppressed or sleeping in our memory on weekdays begin to emerge. The primitive hallucinations about ghosts and other supernatural phenomena that once troubled our childhood were "awakened" in certain situations. Here, Dion Quan called this phenomenon "awakening effect".

What is "awakened" may be some scenes in adult "superstition" activities, some "traditions" instilled by adults, or some scenes in stories told by adults to children.

For example, when people carry a corpse, they emphasize that the feet of the corpse must be carried out of the front room; If someone dies in the room, first of all, close all the windows and cover all the mirrors at the first time; After the funeral, the bedside where the deceased slept must be turned over. When doing these things, it seems nothing to adults. However, many times, in the eyes of children, the influence of these profound actions of adults is magnified, and sometimes even distorted and horrible. Finally, the primitive illusion attached to the above-mentioned strange behavior full of hints is formed in children's minds and enters their memories.

For another example, when children refuse to sleep or cry, some parents will threaten their children and say, "If you don't sleep, a wizard will throw sand into your eyes and your eyes will pop out"; "If you cry again, you will be taken away by the monkey" and so on. These words, a child may not be too afraid in a normal environment like daytime, but at night or during an uneasy nap (that is, the unbounded state mentioned by Di Weng in Ghosts, the mysterious experience of small fish), he "meets" them.

For another example, in The Story of Grandma Wolf, a wild wolf chews a child's finger; Pinocchio bounced all the way with his toes, chasing the children's plot like a ghost, so that the fairy tale originally used to educate children, because of its cruel and horrible plot, inadvertently became the source of nightmares that children will never forget.

All life experiences can be the original components of sleep. Terrible experiences will form nightmares, and psychological trauma will reappear in the form of nightmares. It can be seen that children who are less scared by "ghosts and the like" as children will have less influence in this respect.

However, the ultimate fear of human beings is death, because death holds "the way and function of fear" and it has been injected into the structure of human existence. And things like "ghosts" are always associated with death. In the long history of the future, mankind will continue to be troubled by things like "ghosts". In addition to our general fear of death, we are also afraid of the dead themselves-"ghosts" and the like. So no one has been scared by adults or foreigners. As long as they are normal people, no one can be immune to this.

From the biological basis of human beings. Modern science shows that fear comes from tiny fiber chains between nerve cells in the tonsil (a tiny almond-shaped block in the brain).

Tonsil is not only a part of primitive brain, but also an advanced button. It can produce three definable reactions: ① the feeling of fear and the desire to escape; (2) sudden anger or serious dissatisfaction; (3) a pleasant feeling of lightness or "horizon". So, roughly speaking, the three survival strategies-fear, aggression and relaxation-are like a three-page switch, stuffed into a small complex and precise nerve transmission and regulation organization, and instantly produce emotional changes.

In fact, the specificity of human life is manifested in the diversity of individuals, which is due to the uniqueness of each of us from a biological point of view. Human behavior is the result of complex interaction between genes and environmental factors (education, lifestyle and culture).

For example, an unusually "brave" or "fearless" person is likely to have tonsillectomy or a mutant "samurai gene". Li Kui jy in The Water Margin and Li Yuanba in The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties are probably such figures. Male ... >>

Question 4: Why should people be afraid of ghosts? Are people afraid of ghosts because ghosts kill people? We certainly admit that people are afraid of death, but are people afraid of ghosts and death the same thing? Doesn't make sense either. Because there are many things that can kill people, such as tigers, lions, pistols and murderers. Of course, humans are afraid of tigers, lions, pistols and murderers, but this fear is always different from people's fear of ghosts. Besides, ghosts don't necessarily kill people. Many times, ghosts won't kill you, but you will still feel scared. For example, imagine that you are alone in a room, and you always hear a woman sighing, knowing that it is definitely not a neighbor sighing. You know this is in your room, but you can't see that woman. In this case, people will be afraid. However, this is just a woman's sigh, and it won't kill you. Why be afraid? If you are afraid of being killed, is it a bit unreasonable? For example, when the midnight bell rang, the ghost climbed out of the TV and didn't meet anyone at all. It was so scary. I don't think anyone was scared to death because of being pointed at by a gun? Why is it so terrible for ghosts to climb out of TV? It seems that this fear does not come from the fear of death. The fear of ghosts has surpassed the fear of injury and death.

Question 5: Why are people afraid of ghosts? 20 points because we are afraid of things we don't know and haven't seen, just like seeing a snake for the first time when we were young.

Question 6: Why are people afraid of ghosts? British scientists give the answer [reprint] Xinhua News: The British "Times" recently reported that according to a large-scale scientific investigation conducted by British scientists on supernatural phenomena, there are no ghosts and supernatural phenomena in the world, but they are not all imaginary, but caused by the environment. According to the study of the two most haunted places in Britain, those creepy "haunted houses" are often worthy of the name; But it is not so much ghost activity as airflow and lighting equipment. Psychologists have found that those who report seeing or feeling ghosts are talking about their personal feelings, but these can be explained by natural phenomena. Cold air currents, dim or variable lights, claustrophobia and magnetic fields can all cause uneasy feelings, and some people will interpret them as ghosts. As this environmental factor constantly affects the same area, these areas will soon get the reputation of being haunted. Richard of the University of Hertfordshire? The research team led by Wiseman investigated the anomalies of Hampton Palace in southwest London and the dome of Edinburgh South Bridge. It is said that the ghosts of Hampton Palace, which originally belonged to Henry VIII, are haunted, including Catherine who was beheaded in 1542. Howard. The Nanqiao Dome, built in the late18th century, has a boy who tugs at other people's clothes, and a "Mr. Boots" who can push people and say some dirty words in people's ears. The findings of Wiseman's team were published in the British Journal of Psychology. Dr. Wiseman said that no authoritative scientific magazine had ever published an article investigating ghosts before. He said: "This is the first time that someone has proposed and proved with evidence that such things are caused by the environment." At Hampton Palace, a janitor pointed out the places where supernatural phenomena often occur. Dr Wiseman's team asked 462 tourists to walk around and then reported whether they had seen or experienced anything unusual. To scientists' great surprise, there is a strong correlation between the "haunted" places pointed out by the janitor and the areas where people report finding strange phenomena. These "haunted" places are often located at the mouth where the airflow passes or where the local magnetic field becomes obvious. "It seems that Hampton Palace is really haunted," said Dr Wiseman. "People who walk in do have a feeling of seeing a ghost. However, the real reason for this phenomenon is to follow the laws of nature. People don't encounter ghosts, they just interpret what they feel as ghosts. " In Edinburgh, a tour guide selected 10 domes, and arranged them according to the rumors of supernatural activities in the past, according to the severity of haunted. More than 200 volunteers stayed in the randomly selected dome for 10 minutes, and then reported the anomalies they saw. This time, the places where people report ghosts, ghosts and strange feelings are consistent with the "haunted order". In this regard, environmental clues also play a role. The magnetic field has nothing to do with the haunted order, but the lighting condition, airflow and dome height are closely related to the haunted order. The most haunted dome is the narrowest and smallest, with a bright corridor outside. Dr. Wiseman said that this study shows that the best explanation for things like ghosts is that they are the brain's explanation of real phenomena. He said: "creepy stairs, narrow and dark rooms ... these environments often remind us of ghosts." In addition, evolution may make people afraid of strange places. Another natural phenomenon related to trouble is low-frequency sound waves, called infrasound. Its vibration sounds like a buzzing sound, which makes people feel uneasy and makes the flame shake. Scientists at Coventry University have found that there are often a lot of infrasound in haunted places. The so-called ghost is the illusion we see formed by complex chemical or physical changes, which is caused by our psychological problems or some diseases in the brain. But both cases are very rare. Finally, I want to say that if there are ghosts in the world, we should be happy, because if someone really dies and becomes a ghost, we may become a ghost when we die. How cool it is to float in the sky! We can go to some places we haven't been to, enjoy the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, frighten the enemy, or peek at girls taking a bath. (Hehe ~ ~ I'm not such a ghost) So whether there is a ghost or not! The important thing is that we still live in this world, and we should live a better life! If you are still afraid, I want you to think of something that can excite you when you are afraid ... >>

Question 7: Why are people afraid of ghosts? People's fears stem from the unknown. It is precisely because of this psychology that people are always afraid of ghosts in unknown forms. This is the same reason that people will feel fear in strange places, especially in dark places.

Ghosts are an idea instilled from childhood, and ghosts are terrible. People's impressions of things are formed at an early age, even if they are just wrong or illusory, it is difficult to change. . . If a person doesn't know what a ghost is when he is young, everyone will mention it to him. When he grows up, no matter how much he exaggerates the horror of this illusory thing, he is indifferent, just as ordinary people can't understand why some people are afraid of hairy objects. Because this is caused by some reasons in childhood. . .

You are afraid of ghosts because you were afraid when you were a child, so you are afraid now. If you're not afraid of after work

You have no idea what that is. When you grow up, you are no longer afraid of this fictional thing. . . . . .

This is the subconscious established in childhood. Even if you know there are no ghosts, you will still be afraid of ghosts in the wild at night. . .

Question 8: Why are people afraid of ghosts because there are ghosts in their hearts?

Question 9: People don't believe in ghosts, so why are they afraid of them? I see this from an atheist's point of view: it is not the fear of ghosts, but the inherent fear of the unknown world. Because when facing the unknown world, human beings, whether individuals or groups, are essentially weak.

Satisfied, please adopt.

Question 10: Why are some people afraid of ghosts? The reason why humans are afraid of ghosts is very simple, that is, it stems from human instinctive fear of the unknown. Human's fear and fear of death all come from the fear of the unknown. Unknown leads to the lack of human control, self-protection and security.
