I Choose Ghosts...

I was talking with my friend Bryce the other day and he brought up an interesting point about ghosts. As scary as ghosts can be, why should we afraid of them? At worst, all a ghost can do is look at us and maybe push a stapler off a desk. I've never experienced a stapler being pushed off a desk, but I imagine that it would be just like me pushing a stapler off a desk (which isn't scary, creepy, or disturbing whatsoever). I've heard stories of ghosts moving small household items as well as large pieces of furniture and no one seems to know why these things happen. I don't really care to know why but as long as they can move things around, why can't they move a wet mop around the kitchen floor or move some dishes from the sink to the dishwasher. I briefly researched it and I couldn't find a single documented case of a ghost harming a person. However, I did find a few people talking about how there has never been a single documented case of a ghost harming a person.

So why is everyone terrified of ghosts when far worse things occur everyday? If anything, we should panic and run the other direction the moment we see other people. People can do far worse things than intimidating us by pushing around staplers. People can do numerous things to other people that are actually very disturbing and cause physical harm. For instance, they can punch you in the face. Another thing one person can experience at the hands of another person is death. Now I know the intimidation powers of ghosts can be pretty scary, but I would take my chances with a ghost over a psychopathic serial killer any day.
