Lion vs Ghost. Which one is more scary for you ?

Lions usually stay away from humans. You just have to watch their behaviour and try not to look like an easy snack or a threat. The stupid thing to do would be to fear a lion and run, thus triggering their hunting instinct.
The stupid thing to do with ghosts is to believe in them. The really stupid thing to do with ghosts is to fear them and die of a heart attack or run from them and fall to your death.
:D

The OP has underneath it that we're trapped by fear of this or that. I'd rather focus on being how this poem by Rosemary Harris put it:

My companion is fear
Walking behind me like a shadow.
He sees obstacles where none are,
He knows death as disintegration,
He comes from hell to cherish me
Saying 'turn right,' 'turn left,'
'Look, there is a lion in the road
And no resurrection.'

Yet I will make my torturer
My dear companion.
For in acceptance he grows honest,
Showing that a skeleton is only bones
And one moment no longer than another
And pain only sensation
Like the color of the rose,
Less than the falling of a leaf.

See, I shall turn my head,
Diminish him with pity,
Kill him with understanding
Even love . . .
Looking him in the eye
I shall observe his dwindling
Because he is only a shadow
Lost between me and the sun.
Thank you for sharing :)

Perhaps, they don’t know how to file a case against ghost.
Such claims would still become folklore and urban legends. There was a time when paranormal investigation shows were really popular, and there were a lot of them. Comparing them all, the consensus seemed to be that the most ghosts could do is scratch you or make you feel nauseous. When it came to danger they said not to fear the ghosts but rather the condition of the dilapidated buildings they often explored.

So, you are afraid of pain. NOT lion or ghost.
Yes, I really don't like pain. I rather be killed painless by a ghost then eaten alive by a lion

Once (around 1996) a Goddess came in my dream and pressed on my third eye, and mischievously said "now you are going to experience something". All my inner horror ghosts were released. That was 100 times worse than the worst horror movie I ever saw. I had "nightmares" walking on the street in daytime. I booked a flight to Sai Baba, and when entering His Ashram the nightmares stopped instantly. I stayed there for 12 month. And never saw these horror ghosts again afterwards. Only nice spirits now. But they were really spooky, glad I passed that class:)

Why ghost still more scary ?

I'd be 100 times more afraid of the Lion. I like ghosts actually. They show us how deep and interesting this universe is.

Both sound scary. I’m not sure. I thought lion at first for being more scary. Still would love to be able to pet that gorgeous mane if I knew I would be ok.

What ghost ever killed anyone*?

As for me, I'm staying away from the lion unless I was a full grown elephant or riding in a tank.

* I believe ghosts exist in people's minds and that real phenomenon does exist that people attribute to ghosts. If that dosent count, please disregard this post.
