When I was a young child, I was deathly afraid of the dark. Actually, today I will admit that I do not like dark places, so I guess you could say that I am still somewhat afraid of the dark. When I go into dark places today, I am way more cautious, and I prepare my mind to react in case the boogey man jumps out to grab me, lol!!!

There are many reasons that people, like me, are scared of the dark. Maybe it’s a fear of the unknown, maybe it’s simply because we cannot see clearly and are afraid of a misstep. Some say it’s even a psychological thing where we are aware that criminals use the dark...
