hevua, you need to catch up on your Joseph Campbell..
vampires, dragons, werewolves, sea monsters, all these things are very much real. Whether they exist as the face value form of hollywood monsters, or if they are symbolic representations of real things, such as stories of vampires which actual allude towards a description of the corruption of local land lord, or the stories of dragons in the forest or mountains which represent the fear, dread and natural sense of anxiety humans experience of the unknown such as the first day jitters or death bead blues..
. Our myths and monsters are our symbolic and collective way of explaining, interpreting and transmitting the subtleties of our complex reality. These are the collective images of our subconscious mind which we use to describe to experiences of our real world and give it flavor, color, timbre, depth and meaning.
Ghosts are real in a sense of the realness of the feeling of those who perceive them and they represent a variety of things to those who experience them, and you should not be so naive as to curtly dismiss peoples
feelings simply because you must not have any of your own.
