Help!Emergent! Is the use of "scary" ok?

[paula]

Hi,
In the following sentence
It's very scary to hear ghostly voices at midnight.

Is the word " scary" accepted here?

Many thanks!

It's the 'scary to hear' part that sounds awkward to me.

Would 'frightening' be a good replacement? or would it still sound awkward?

For the particular example, I would use the passive form and say "I'm scared to...". That's just me though. I don't know what the teachers would think of it.

EX: It's very scary to hear ghostly voices at midnight.

If we change it back into its original form,

To hear ghostly voices at midnight is very scary.

It works just fine. So, I'll be changing my view: It's fine.

'frightening' works too.
