I know this is frightening, I'm sure I'd be scared too although I haven't seen spirits standing in front of me like this (only subjectively in my minds eye). However I know from hearing about the experiences of other people at Spiritualist churches that many people have experiences like this, it's frightening, but in this type of situation there is a very, very low probability of danger. I suspect risk of having a heart attack from your own fear is much greater than any harm coming to you from the spirit.
This is one of the unfortunate consequences of our cultural attitudes to spirits. They make good faith efforts to communicate with us and we react with terror! (Everyone, please never tell your children scary ghost stories, boycott scary movies about ghosts or demons etc. That type of thing is just as bad, does just as much harm, as racism.)
If you are able, there is one thing I wish you would try the next time you see a spirit objectively. Would you be able to approach the spirit and see how close you can get and take a really good look close up? I think it would be interesting to know: can you see the weave in their clothing, the pores in their skin, individual hairs etc things like that. It might also be interesting to try to speak to the spirit aloud and/or just through your mind. Ask them who they are, why they are visiting you, if there is some way you can help them, if they want to tell you something, etc.
If anyone else on this board has done something like this with spirits they see objectively I would be very interested to read about your experiences if you would post them here.
If you are frightened it may help to imagine divine white light of love and healing filling the room and blessing you and the spirit. I don't know why this works it may just be a psychological trick that affects your attitude but it does seem work. The spirit should pick up on your change in attitude, (if not psychically at least from your facial expression and body language) and that will affect the spirit too and help with communication.
If you get really scared try to mentally send this message to the spirit with as much mental force as you can so that it completely fills your mind and so you have no attention left for awareness of fear: "GOD LOVES YOU. ASK HIM FOR HELP AND HE WILL SEND SOMEONE TO YOU HELP. ACCEPT THIS HELP, FOLLOW THEIR GUIDANCE, AND IT WILL IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS YOU FIND YOURSELF IN." Shout this over and over in your mind until you are no longer afraid. Young children should be taught to do this when they are afraid of the dark or monsters in the closet or under the bed. Learning to love and help those who frighten you is a very important lesson in spiritual development.
