There are many reasons why you would be afraid. Either walking in the streets when there are no streetlights, or in the house when the power fails. If you can't see everything, your mind will wonder ... ...

I was afraid of the dark when I was a kid. If anything as much as creaked in the house when the lights were out, I'd bury myself in the blankets and wait for the worst. However, I outgrew that. These days even if I have to walk through a sleazy neighborhood at night, I won't much as shudder if I see figures approach me.

I loved that show on Nickelodeon. I am still afraid of the dark sometimes. I definitely don't like driving in the dark and I wouldn't dare walk the streets alone in the dark ever.

The only time I am really afraid of the dark is when I am alone and can't find my way around like when I am in the basement and the light bulb burnt out so I can't find the way to the stairs. I don't really think of there being like a ghost or something around to get me like I did when I was younger.

Nope never was and when I was (for many years) a security guard never thought a thing about it except maybe that if they couldn't see me they couldn't shoot me

Only if I recently watched a scary movie. Otherwise it doesn't bother me. Even all grown up, a horror movie can make me shut my closet doors and run/leap into bed as soon as I turn the lightswitch off.

I'm not afraid of it exactly.. it's just... dark LOL. Everything is too still and quiet in the dark. I only feel this way when trying to sleep. I don't mind the dark if the TV is on, but if it isn't, my mind won't stop. Hearing the tv makes my mind settle and it sort of thinks for me I suppose. I can drift off then. Guess that's what you get when you have a mother that puts a tv in your room instead of helping you get to sleep with her motherly ways lol. Outside.. I love the night more than anything. It's beautiful and peaceful; I'm not afraid of it at all.

Perfectly natural to be afraid of the dark. It's in our psyche and goes back thousands of years when the night and forest were full of predators and danger.
Up to a few hundred years ago there was still much to fear in the night,and as our language has evolved I'm sure many of our negative words and sayings that begin with black reflect this.
Even on the stage and in the movies the villain was always in black the hero in white.

Ever since I was a little kid I am already afraid of the dark and until now. I don't know why and I always think many things when it is dark. It is my habit up to now that I am already grown up to always bring small flashlight with me where ever I go even it is morning. Sometimes I put it in my bag when I am going out and then beside my bed so that in case there is electric failure at night I am always ready. And this makes my husband to always tease me with jokes all the time.

Not so much afraid of the dark as what is out in it. I have met bears as I turned the corner behind the barn so prefer to have a light with me. Ran into my backhoe when I forgot I parked it outside the personnel door once. That gets your attention. LOL

Yes, I am afraid of the dark and never understood why. When it is dark I become very nervous and shaky. The whole darkness thing just seems spooky!

I can boldly say I am not afraid of the dark. There is no single trace of it happened with me till date. I just love to watch horror movies and they don't drag me into a state of being scared of the darkness. I don't mind going anywhere in the night hours though it is dark.

If I'm walking in the streets at night, yes. If I'm just at home, I'm not afraid of the dark. I can't sleep unless it's completely pitch black.

I ate a lot of lemons when I was a kid. I believe this gave me natural night vision and an increased rod count in my eyes...
