| − | '''Phasmophobia''' (from Greek ''phasma'', "ghost") (sometimes known as '''spectrophobia''') is the morbid fear of {{wp|ghost|ghosts}}. It is common among many cultures because ghosts are deceased people who are often dangerous. Though the phobia is commonly suffered by children, when they first learn about ghosts, adults commonly suffer from phasmophobia as well, especially after learning reports of people being haunted by ghosts. Sufferers who believe in ghosts would feel very worry that ghosts may attack them. Sufferers would not want to be alone while not be in the dark. |

In ''{{Wp|Luigi's Mansion}}'', Luigi was also phasmophobic, but still able to catch ghosts |
