Answer 1

yea actually it is i used to be afraid too, like one time i could of swore to allah i heard some one but it was all in my head

Answer 2

I sometimes do the same thing! Its just an eerie feeling. I feel safer with a light on, even if it is just a night light. So in essence I am a 35 year old woman with 3 kids that is afraid of the dark! LOL

Answer 3

I wouldn't think that it is exactly the same thing. as a child we were scared of the dark because of monsters but when we grow older we see things differently and so things like that don't scare us as much (also we tend to be less afraid of the dark when we get older). but when it is someone who is coming to kill you, you tend to have this fear that you're going to die and that creates a horror image in your mind like from a scary movie.
