Phasmophobia: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments for Fear of Ghosts

Share on PinterestIllustration by Brittany England

Phasmophobia is an intense fear of ghosts. For people with a ghost phobia, the mere mention of supernatural things — ghosts, witches, vampires — can be enough to evoke the irrational fear. Other times, a movie or TV show might be responsible.
Recollections or imagined scenarios may be all that’s needed to generate the severe anxiety or absolute terror that is associated with a ghost phobia, too.

Read on to find out if your dread of a scary movie, empty house, or Halloween decoration is a normal level of fear or dislike, or if it’s a genuine phobia.

Many children experience a fear of ghosts or otherworldly beings from a young age. For many, those fears and anxieties will disappear as they move into adolescence. But for others, the fear remains. It may even worsen into a chronic and potentially debilitating phobia.

Causes

It’s unclear why phobias of any type develop. Some people with a genetic predisposition to anxiety have an increased risk of developing a phobia. Trauma or distressing life events may set the stage for future phobias. For others, it may develop independently.

Effects

People with a phobia of ghosts frequently report sensing a presence when they’re alone. Tiny noises turn into proof positive that their fears are founded. They may even get the distinct impression that they’re being watched or are moments away from a confrontation with a supernatural being.

The sense of dread may be so severe it leaves them unable to move or perform necessary functions. Getting up to go to the bathroom or even falling asleep may be too difficult or provoke too much anxiety.

Contributing phobias

Other phobias, such as a fear of being alone (autophobia), may actually play into developing phasmophobia. ResearchTrusted Source suggests people who have intense fears of being alone, especially at night or when sleeping, may likewise have a fear of these ghostly presences.

It isn’t clear if the fear of ghosts comes first or if it develops as a result of an existing fear of the darkness and nighttime.

People with a fear of ghosts my experience symptoms, such as:
  • panic attacks
  • difficulty sleeping alone
  • intense anxiety
  • intense sense of dread or impending doom
  • not going to the bathroom at night
  • avoiding being alone
  • daytime drowsiness (from lack of sleep)
  • drop in productivity (from lack of sleep)
A panic attack is the most common symptom of a phobia. It’s immensely disabling, as it often interrupts and stops a person’s daily life. However, you can have a true phobia and not have panic attacks. Other symptoms may be present and debilitating enough for a diagnosis.

People with this phobia may begin to develop rituals, or activities they do in an attempt to avoid or “ward off” ghosts they might encounter.

If these rituals become compulsive — that is, you cannot carry on your normal activities unless you do these measures first — you may be developing an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

How it affects daily life

A fear of ghosts isn’t just a problem for Halloween night or when walking the dark streets of an old city. Actually, a fear of ghosts can pop into your daily life at any point, rendering you too nervous or anxious to continue on with your daily activities. You may have a ghost phobia if you:

Can’t be left alone

People with phasmophobia may be entirely too uncomfortable or anxious to be left at home or in the office alone, especially at night. Sleeping alone in a house overnight is likely entirely out of the question. Likewise, traveling for work — and being alone in a hotel room — may also be problematic.

Avoid dark spaces in home

You may think a fear of monsters under the bed passes as children transition into their adolescent years — and for many, it does — but people with this phobia may fear:
  • dark closets
  • dark rooms
  • dark windows
  • dark spaces under furniture
Recall fearful images

People with this phobia may know to avoid scary movies, but if they accidentally see something — a movie trailer, perhaps — or are made to watch it for some reason, the images from the movie may replay in their mind again and again. This will increase anxiety and symptoms.

Likewise, reading scary stories or researching supernatural activities may trigger the phobia.

Experience sleep loss

Because nighttime often heightens the sense of dread and worry for people with a fear of ghosts, sleep may be nearly impossible. This is especially true if you’re alone. Ultimately, this can lead to sleep deprivation, daytime sleepiness, and a drop in productivity at work.

When there is one fear, there may be other phobias.

For example, people with a fear of ghosts or other supernatural beings (phasmophobia) may also have an intense fear of being alone (autophobia). Another person’s presence is comforting and invites a sense of security.

Many people with a fear of ghosts are also irrationally fearful of nighttime (nyctophobia) or darkness (achluophobia). Akin to ghosts, shadows can also cause intense fears (sciophobia).

Many people may develop a fear of ghosts after the death of a loved one, so the idea of being around death or dead things may also cause intense anxiety (necrophobia).
Of course, ghosts are a common Halloween theme, and the association with ghosts may also cause a fear of witches (wiccaphobia) or vampires (sanguivoriphobia). If all Halloween decorations are too much, you may have samhainophobia, or fear of Halloween.

Treatment for phasmophobia falls into two categories: therapeutic techniques and medicine. Some doctors may use one, the other, or a combination.

Medication for phobias

Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can ease the emotional and irrational reaction you have to fear. These may also help stop or limit the physical reactions, such as a racing heart or nausea.

These medicines are effective and may reduce symptoms quickly. Indeed, researchTrusted Source suggests some people do not realize how effective this treatment can be until they’re prescribed the medicines for another issue, such as depression. Both symptoms of the phobia and the second condition may be resolved.

Therapy for phobias

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most common therapy treatment for phobias, including phasmophobia. A mental health specialist will work with you to understand the source of your fear and then help you develop coping mechanisms you can deploy when you sense the fear rising.

People reportTrusted Source experiencing shame because of this fear of ghosts. Some even say they know the phobia is irrational.

It’s important to know that phasmophobia is real. With help, you can overcome it.
If you experience intense fear when you’re alone because you think you will encounter a ghost, or if you have difficulty sleeping because of images playing over and over in your head, it’s time to see your doctor.

These symptoms produce intense fear and anxiety. They may impact your daily life and prevent you from getting sleep. It’s an important first step in figuring out what’s causing your difficulties and what can be done to end them.

A fear of ghosts is not silly or foolish. Indeed, phobias are real, and the impact they can have on your health and life are serious.

Overcoming a phobia can be difficult. It will likely take work with a mental health professional, but you can overcome it. You can learn to manage the fear, live with the symptoms, and have the productive life you deserve.
 
I am staying alone in a self owned condo apartment while my mother and younger brother are staying together in my mother's landed home.

This has been happening for some weeks now. At first, I thought that they were exaggerating, but my younger brother told me my mum's house is haunted. My superstitious mother even hired some priests from a supposed renowned temple to 'clean' her house. I laughed when my younger brother told me this because we all know that all these so-called priests are scammers. Even they are not scammers, they are probably trying to propagate their own crap religion.

My younger brother told me over the weekend that the so-called priests did not do a 'good' job. And so, I took leave and decided to visit them yesterday. So when I arrived yesterday afternoon, I asked my mother and younger brother whether they are still experiencing the 'supernatural'. They told me yes they still do. They said it's like there are pairs of eyes following them around the house and they can feel sort of 'gentle wind draft' as they go about in their daily routines around the house.

So last night Monday, I told my GF I will be staying at my mum's home for the night to sort out some 'problems'. GF asked me what problems. I lied telling her it's relating to my father's estate matters. I did not want to tell my GF the truth because she would be alone for the night at my condo and she may freak out. Then from one problem, I get two problems.

When at my mother's house last night, I even purposely stayed awake till 2am. I walked upstairs, downstairs, front garden, kitchen and backyard for from 12am to 2am. But I did not feel anything sort of like 'eyes' following me around or 'gentle wind draft'. I did not even hear any strange noises.

Do you think my mother and younger brother are overreacting?

Should I arrange for them to see a psychaitrist? Myabe they are too stressed.

Or is my dead father's spirit back in the house trying to communicate with them? Then why he did not make an attempt to ‘communicate' with me last night?

Or is it some unknown 'spirits' that have managed to 'invade' my mother's house?

I did suggest they moved out if they felt really uncomfortable or threatened. My father have left behind two other 3 bedroom condos and 1 of them is currently untenanted as the expats have moved back to the UK due to job losses from Covid-19.

Any comments or other suggestions on how I can help my mum and my younger brother?
A bat probably uses your mother's place as a resting place when it's dark. Hence the eyes. And when they fly about (bats fly quietly), they create "gentle wind draft".

You need a scarecrow or some nets.

Easy. Just set up 碟仙 and ask the spirit in the house. Minimal spending required

Can you elaborate on this? I am serious.

I suspect they voted for PAP and the ghost came to haunt.

This could be true as my mother's house has a chiku tree and the bats are often seen eating the chikus. Thanks for the info.

Believe when we fuck you we mean business. Fuck till yr arse bleed...

I am sorry. But I am a man and not a gay. Please look elsewhere if you need a gay companion.
 
Ghost, pontianak, vampires, aliens. All these are the work of Jinn. Jinn would transform into any dieties or spirits to scare or make u believe in them. In specific region according to the culture of tat particular race. Tats why u dont have pontianak or vampires in the West or East respectively. Jinn would try anything just to distract mankind from following the path of Islam i.e. submission in the Oneness of God!
 
I do believe there may be spirits but I can also safely say 99.99% of the time it's all the work of the mind. This is the very reason why people who believe in ghosts tend to see ghosts whilst people who don't believe in ghosts never ever seem to see ghost.

U can test urself by visiting CCK cemetery. Alone and dont wear any tangkal or azimat. Be honest to urself. Best time is 0200 - 0230hrs :biggrin:
 
What is consciousness? Is it soul? Does consciousness leave the body after death?
Are ghosts consciousness? I don't believe so. Once consciousness exits, there is no evidence to suggest they mingle with the living.

But aliens, other beings, lizard people, shadow people etc.... there is evidence they exist, and our science is too shallow to deny for certain we are alone.
