Ghosts and phantoms only haunt those whom they empower.
What does the subject sentence mean, please?
The whole paragraph is from a book about Berlin Wall:
"Commercial and residential development has remained impervious to this former outline. Cars routinely park atop and pedestrians routinely stroll upon the stones oblivious to their former significance. Its once profaned presence has become nearly invisible. This invisibility and irreverence towards tradition is desirable. Ghosts and phantoms only haunt those whom they empower."
