AI explanation

Phasmophobia is derived from the Greek 'phasma' (ghost/apparition) combined with '-phobia' (fear), so it specifically names an irrational fear of ghosts or apparitions. It's a distinct term from fears of water (aquaphobia), air, or other objects, which have their own separate names.
