Do you believe in ghosts? Demons? Devils? Apparently, many people do! This supernatural phenomenon is common all over the world, & it is through this that horror plays a part. In the previous seminar, I stated that psychology is the primary means that instills a sense of fear in people. The same aspect applies here as well.
Because of the belief in the afterlife; life after death, people have long believed in heaven & hell. Generally, every person is believed to have a soul, when the body dies, the soul is either sent to heaven or hell. It is also believed that souls with “unfinished business” return as ghost. In the horror genres, ghosts are usually portrayed as vengeful spirits, haunting & sometimes killing. This is why claim to see ghosts or unexplainable occurrences. Their mind has been convinced that ghosts & spirits are real.
Other supernatural beings like demons & devils are also widely believed & feared by people. Demons & devils reside in hell, a place where souls whom have sinned are sent to for eternal punishment. In all religions, demons & devils are associated with evil. There are cases where people have claimed to have been processed by demons.
In folklores, mythology & religion, there are tales of many supernatural creatures. Stories of vampires & zombies, demons & angels, etc. told throughout history can be the reason why we believe in such things. In my opinion, the reason why we fear these things is because we do not understand it. Our human psychology is based a lot on facts & what our eyes tell us.
