Okay, this is totally out in left field, but I'm sitting here alone and it is night. I can be in my home (alone at times) all day and it doesn't bother me.

What is it about darkness and night that is so scary?

I don't know why but you notice every sound (in my case it's usually my darn refrigerator creaking and making all kinds of noise!).

Sometimes I think it's the neighborhood cats who pitter patter across my deck and jump off. Or fight with each other and make ungodly sounds.

Get my point.

I wonder if it's just in us to fear the dark, dating from the time of early man who didn't even have fire (for a good while) to ward off the dark and the wild beasts.

I think that's where the 'hair on the back of the neck standing up' comes from.

What do you think?

Anyone else not like the night time?
