Conan Doyle writes about the "power of evil" being stronger in the darkness. Do you ever feel this ?

Question

For example in The Hound of The baskerviles

Answer 1

Evil is power full at any time, it only appears to be more power full in the darkness, this is because humans are frightened of what they don`t know, what they can`t see and can`t understand. In the day light everything looks different they can see what is going on, so are more confident and able to deal with the `evil`.

Answer 2

Dark and Evil always go Hand in Hand to survive.
