Once i mentioned about the ghost idea of Eugene O'Neill. But his idea was origined to Ibsen's. Why were they so haunted? Maybe for them the ghosts were better than the human beings. And I totally agree with them. The ghost doesn't kill the men, because they are afraid that the human beings come to their world. Only the mankind kills the mankind.
"...I am half inclined to think we are all ghosts, Mr. Manders. It is not only what we have inherited from our fathers and mothers that exists again in us, but all sorts of old dead ideas and all kinds of old dead beliefs and things of that kind. They are not actually alive in us; but there they are dormant, all the same, and we can never be rid of them. Whenever I take up a newspaper and read it, I fancy I see ghosts creeping between the lines. There must be ghosts all over the world. They must be as countless as the grains of the sands, it seems to me. And we are so miserably afraid of the light, all of us." - Henrik Ibsen, ghost
