I understand fear can cause that kind of behavior, bur I personally think we should be more afraid of livings since some of them are not good persons.

Maybe you were very young, but shouldn't be afraid of someone you in fact knew and never did bad to you, you could have cause and accident in the rush, but I understand your mind was affected by beliefs of fear regarding ghosts and lost souls with which some of us grow up.

Greetings. Best of luck.
