I do not understand this question. Why would they be frightened of the Oracle?
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head(without looking it up) is the oracle of delphi.
The Oracle was called Agbala and spoke to Umuofia and its people only through his priestess, Chielo.
An oracle is a goddess that allows men to consult their ancestors or the gods through their representative, the priestess of the Oracle.
Delphi
The oracle gave advice through her priestess for many problems, but ultimately each person decided what they wanted to do on their own. Most times the oracle's advice was heeded. If speaking of the priestess herself, when she represented someone from the earth, this person's advice was not deemed to be on the same level as that from the oracle Agbala. Some influential decisions the oracle have made included whether or not to go to war with neighbouring villages and the fate of Ikemefuna.
No, the oracle was selected among the virgins of Delphi.

the slim shadey oracle ran over to the dull poopey delphi and screamed and pooped on him!
Apollo has a famous oracle at Delphi
An oracle is usually a female who is in the service of Apollo, God of the Sun, Healing, Prophecy, Music, and Archery. People would come to them and they would give a prophecy. The most famous is the Oracle of Delphi.
