My 6 yr old son is afraid of everything!

My 6 yr old son is afraid of everything. He won't go be in a room by himself even if I'm right next door. He follows me around constantly because he is afraid to be alone. He talks about ghosts a lot. He's not ADD or on any medication. He is driving me crazy with these fears. I can't even go to the bathroom without him most of the time because he's so afraid. What should I be doing? I've talked to him about his fears and the ghosts. I've asked him to describe them and he usually describes things he's seen on tv. I try not to let him watch even cartoons that may have ghosts in them but it hasn't helped. What should I do with him? I'm so afraid he's missing out on things already because of his fears.
