You can't be a Nigerian and tell me you've never heard of ghost stories before.we hear most folktales about spirits, even the fact that I haven't traveled overseas to other countries,watching their movies that involves haunted houses, sprits stuff shows they also believe ghosts exist. Despite stories of these mysterious beings being pass across culture to generation, I never see ghost face to face and I don't have close person that have seen it either, that's one thing that do not make me believe in "ghost".

Nevertheless, Because I can't see or feel ghost does not make not afraid at a scenario that is said to have ghost,this is because human minds are very powerful,once we are alone, in a dark place, our mind just tell us it isn't safe and we began to be very cautious of our environment , just like an incident that's trending on social media that a female singer was bitten by a snake in her house and she didn't survived it. Many people has been in fear since then, some posted even their airpiece, charger cord,began to scare them in the dark,their minds begin to initiate they are snakes.

That's just how our minds act, stories of ghosts is a usually round about strange moments,very high wind pressure,some noises that can't be explained. That made me conclude that maybe ghosts doesn't exist, like that floating statue,moving statue that cannot be seen that we all pictured in our mind doesn't exist but just strange events,strange moments that cannot be explained.

I can understand why people watch horror movies,it's not that they do not fear but because when one is in control of fear,it becomes interactive, I had a moment like that where I rided a coller coaster, it wasn't funny at all,my heart has races to level hundred but as soon as I get off it, it became one of the interesting day of my life, since then when I think about it, I feel the fun,movies are different from scenarios because you know deep down that you are safe when watching movie, it's just a movies but in a dark place , feeling some unusual , strange feelings, you will definitely fear.

So, in a nutshell all I'm saying is that I do not really believe in "ghosts" but then I am not fear from the fear of it ,the unknown.

Nigerians pay too much attention to superstitions beliefs without even making proper research. Most of the stories I've heard from people about ghost makes no sense and yet it's so shocking how everybody seems to tag it the gospel truth. Ghosts aren't real but that don't mean I'd want to visit a morgue alone at night🤣🤣

Do you know it's not only Nigerians that believe so much in superstition?
You get,it isn't real doesn't mean I will go face one lol 😂

Because I can't see or feel ghost does not make not afraid at a scenario that is said to have ghost

This was funny, 😹
The fact that you don't believe in ghosts but said you'd still be afraid at a scenario that is said to have ghost.

Yeah, I get you. The human mind is powerful and the fear of the unknown makes you paranoid.
