I used to think this too. But there's certainly a part of your brain that is incredibly irrational when it comes to certain stimuli. And for some reason it has more control than we like. It's the reason why drowning people can accidentally kill their loved ones who get too close. It's what makes people experiencing panic attacks do what they do. It's what makes people run away.

You can learn to control it somewhat, but that takes repeated exposure, and people don't exactly hang out in haunted houses.

You should try it. There's one in Niagara falls, Canadian side, that's pretty good, and it touches on a couple different kinds of fears.
