Dear Ram,
Hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. Well, I have been told that you are not comfortable at the hostel. I have been told that these days you are suffering from excessive fear of ghosts. If you remember, similar experience had happened to me! Do you remember?
Well, dear friend before you take any major decision, pay attention to my advice. You are suffering from phasmophobia or ‘fear of ghosts’. The only reason behind this is you have either watched a scary movie or read some horror book or story. Science has proven that supernatural incidents are nothing more than figment of someone's imagination. If supernatural events were true, everyone could see them.
Supernatural happenings come into being when someone obsessed with it becomes much engrossed in it. As a consequence, his mind, which already has some hearsay data related to the subject, spins, blends and concocts it into so many imaginary shapes, figures and plots. The fear, thrill, excitement involved in the supernatural add their own flavour to the related data. As a consequence, nightmares and delusions haunt the obsessed mind. So, the one harbouring these nightmares and delusions mistakes one of them to be true. He makes his personal nightmare or delusion known to the public as a real happening, which in reality was the product of his own delusion. When asked for proof, he fails to provide it. For example, he is unable to show the ghost or demon he might have seen in the dark attic of his house.
So supernatural things are not real, but undoubtedly they are the fearful fancies of someone's distorted obsession. The best way to deal with the fear of the supernatural is to remain busy reading, playing and securing your future career. After all, as the saying goes, An Empty Mind Is A Devil's Den.'
Kindly don’t worry. I along with your family am coming to see you next week.
Yours affectionately,
