An Alternative View.

Let’s suppose you were a ghost wandering silently and haplessly around somebody’s house (just for something to do, you understand) and you came across a child who could see you.

The child stares at you. Just stares. Doesn’t speak or move or whimper or cry: ‘Mommy, mommy, there’s a funny man in my bedroom and he’s very white!’ Just stares and stares.

Wouldn’t that be terrifying?
