I am one of those people who is afraid of the dark and can't sleep without a person in the room or a light on. Any kind of noise will creep me out or if I see a shadow I could start screaming. When someone is next to me I feel that safety. When someone is not with me I feel really unsafe like someone is watching me. I guess maybe I watched one too many scary movies when I was younger. I also have too admit I also watch Paranormal State that kind of thing make me wonder if there really among us.I have always wondered that. If there is and I actually see it one day I don't know how I would react.

Haha, ya perhaps you've watched to much of those horror movies or ghost stories, and these will let you think and imagine of those supernatural things. I've to admit that i'm some sort afraid of dark too, and especially i was alone at house. I must have at least a light on and i'll start to do something to distract myself from keep thinking about those creepy matters which will make me even more scared. That's the reason why i seldom watch horror movies or ghost stories now,haha.

I am very scared of the dark also but I cannot go to sleep with a light on. I work nights and my husband does also. I am home alone with my daughter alot of times.

I am still like that sometimes as a 40 yr old man. I don't like walking up stairs in the dark, even in my own house, keep thinking something is behind me. This is completely illogical I know!
