What is it that people are afraid of “haunted” houses?
Would you dare to sleep in a house that everyone in the village claims it is haunted?
Would you sleep or even live in a house in which the whole family was murdered? But then again, people die all over the place, like in hospitals, and yet people are not afraid to sleep in hospital rooms where many people died and I bet it is even hard to find a bed in a hospital where no one died.
Would you sleep in a house that was built upon a graveyard? But then again people are buried everywhere and there are probably corpses underneath your own house/ building.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
