Tangible Ghost Belief Syndrome: Conviction That Spirits Physically Interact with Reality, Leading to Social Conflict

This concept describes a psychological pattern where individuals firmly believe that ghosts not only exist but also have tangible, physical effects on the real world. While personal beliefs are a matter of individual freedom, their rigid insistence on this perspective often leads to friction in daily interactions with others who do not share the same worldview.

1. Conviction in Ghosts’ Physical Influence: Believing that spirits can interact with objects and people in the material world.

2. Inflexibility in Belief System: Struggling to acknowledge or accept differing viewpoints on the supernatural.

3. Frequent Social Conflict: Experiencing tension or misunderstandings due to differing beliefs in daily interactions.
