Are you afraid of dark alone at home?

i would say at least the part about footsteps rapidly approaching when you're alone in the dark, that is scientifically scary.

 

My words are real.

 

I'm a ghost detective.

 

You believe this...

But you don't believe in spirits.

 

Ghosts actually exist.

 

Demons aren't that ridiculous.

 

How does one keep this shyt packed inside of one head? Does your brain hurt?

 

Jinkies! Looks like one of the ghosts from Scooby Doo Mysteries

 

Grandeur, you often say you want to die, so what are you scared of? Turn the lights off, feel the thing coming for you, and bear it. Wait it out. It's worth it.

I think overcoming irrational fear has a positive influence in other areas, effects you might not suspect.

 

i'm sorry to hear that. i can't imagine why the dark would be frightening.
humans might be, in the dark or in the light. some larger non-humans might be, but mostly they run the other way.
but the dark itself, that's something i don't get to see very often. there's so much stray light all over the place, unless you live way out in the woods somewhere,
that it never really gets too dark to see anyway. too dark to read, but not too dark to see where you're going or anything like that.

in my experience its nice weather that brings out the un-nice people, with the time of day not having all that much to do with it.
granted i do avoid wandering around in the middle of the night where i live, though it used to be perfectly safe 24-7-365.

the few times i've had occasion to so so, no one has bothered or even propositioned me.
at any rate, inside of where i live, nothing worst then the very rare occasional friendly mouse,
who i give water and salteens or sunflower seeds, if and when they ever show up.

computer does stays on all the time though, not to chase the dark,
but because i like to see all the pictures i've created and collected
and its what my music plays through my earphones on.

personally i believe more fear then comfort comes from what people tell each other to believe.
only reason i can think of why the dark itself, rather then something physically present, would cause fear.
and some one if it/they actually wished any harm. non-sentient things don't, but harm can come to the careless dispite lack of intent, there is that.

does it even really get dark enough to not see? i can only imagine it doing so in some kind of way inner room with all the windows and doors closed.
i don't think i've ever even lived such a place big enough to have such a room.

i guess i can imagine a problem with that, if i were there for reasons not my own.

 

I've always been a little spooked by the dark. If I don't let myself dwell on it I get by fine though. If I focus on it though, it really comes back to me the way it did when I was a little kid.

Fear, the great paralyzer. I think it's funny how the tendency for me with fear of the dark is to turn onto my side and bury my head in a pillow. lol

If I'm on something though (which is never anymore) I will turn on the bloody lights if I get scared. Flip open my computer and log on!

 

No

 

Not really--but sometimes the sounds that happen in the dark can be scary, if you don't know where they are coming from.

 

I like to watch the movie, Halloween in the dark...the original one with young Jamie Lee Curtis

 

I think if I were a ghost that didn't know it, and was cursed to haunt hipforums, it would be one of the better explanations to why I'm still here.

 

Nope, if anything I'm more afraid of the light than I am of the dark!

 

I wish I could see it like that, but after watching stories on the History channel about UFO encounters and abductions, I’m a little creeped out. There was a truck driver that swears he AND his 18 wheeler got teleported onto a spaceship one night, a few decades ago. So yeah, I’m a little paranoid since there are things that actually go bump in the night!
