There needs to be a discussion about why this article is worthy of inclusion, because otherwise I'm worried someone will put it up for deletion or for merging with Phasmophobia. I have added a dablink at the top to help distinguish between the two (on the basis that the Phasmophobia article is ostensibly about the clinical disorder associated with fear of ghosts, whereas this article is about culturally acceptable and widely held views on ghosts). But more needs to be done within the article to show this distinction, and to show how this topic itself is noteworthy.
The Literature and arts section should be expanded to demonstrate how this idea of fear of ghosts has been influential in literature and culture. There should be more specific examples, etc. Also, the section Fear of ghosts among various cultures needs to have something done to it, because right now it's a random and arbitrary list. If we want to have a list of culture-specific fears for every group we can, this article should be split and the list should be in a list article; this article itself should address things from a more worldwide perspective.
I'm not trying to attack the article or say it's bad; I'm just saying these things need to be addressed if you don't want someone to come along and try to get it deleted.— Politizer talk/ contribs 23:13, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
There must be made a paragraph about the effects of a ghost! An example: The effect of the ghost ship of the flying Dutchman. Some people killed themselves because they thought the Dutchman would attack there ship because they thought they really saw the Dutchman on sea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.156.49.170 ( talk) 09:50, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
