Ghostly Touch Might Frighten Me

Ghosts are not scary if you grow up with them.
A normality for you if you have seen them since you were two.
If you have dog-hearing like mine, you do not jump at their voices.
You are used to them, they are just a part of your life.
A ghostly whisper might startle some. Not me.
A ghostly voice in my head bothers me not.
A ghostly touch might still frighten me. 
I have not had one of those yet.
