America is fascinated with  the supernatural there have been a number of cases were everyone is all into the ghost faze.  From movies to stories to even chain letters Americans have been increasing there belif in ghosts.  Maybe because it draws us to something we can't see or touch kinda like how air keeps us alive but we can't see or touch it but we trust it and rely on it to keep us alive.

Good man brown was sort of obsessed he was very fascinated  with what goes on in the woods just like many Americans are.  It starts out with chain letters many kids send chain letters saying if you  don't send this you will  die at midnight or they will come back and haunt you.  All of these things fascinate us because we want to see them but if you do you will die so it's gone of a win loose.

We make tons of tv shows about ghost like ghost hunters  even though all you see  is a shadow and hear a bunch of words all jumbled up  but we still believe it because you can't touch it you can't really see it. There is no connection to us and them besides that little outlit right there and  Americans want that they crave that. Just like everyone else does it's not just us but it's human nature to be fascinated with what we can't see.
 
Stories excite us  they let us become into the unknown. Learn what it's about gives us horror and excitement makes our heart skip a beat.  It's a wonderfull feeling to feel fear  it's new  and odd. I think that's what excites humans the most to be fascinated with ghosts. It's just in our nature .
