Can you think of the times we have ended up talking about ghosts during the sleepover? Why do we like to believe in impossible? Why does the ghost story excite us?   We, humans, are curious and tend to reason anything mysterious with our own accustomed biases. Unpredicted events such as death, cheating, misfortune, or natural disaster are often rationalized within our selves, as our brain likes anticipating the meaning in chaos.  This process somewhat establishes our faith in something supernatural, because believing that the universe is predictable is less fearful. As a distinguished fiction writer, Philips says “the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.    Ghost stories are usually everyday life stories with their unique twist that often intensifies human emotions of fear and lets the masses explore their deepest nightmares and anxieties. For that reason, this week we decided to explore our fears and talk about ghost stories. We would be talking about our personal and local ghost stories, theories on the supernatural. We also question why some of us can’t shake off old superstitions and folk-lore? Association of death and spirit and of course our favorite, analyzing the portrayal of the female ghosts from a feminist perspective.
