...I get the same feeling. No matter what, I always sleep with the covers over my head. I don't care that it wouldn't hold up against anything--it still makes me feel better.

Everytime I listen to ONE song at night, and it's a funny song, I feel like there's something creeping around me.

For some reason, I've learned to like this kind of fear. Just think that your house is really confortable, and all the shadows just gathered around there to stop being evil for a while and have some imaginary tea.

Yeah, my imagination is very wide.

It's not going to swallow you, it's going to hug you tight and tell you everything'll be okay.

^_^ I know, I talked to it. hehe.

I've never really been scared of the dark, but because my bedroom is really small, when I am away and in a bigger room I get jumpy because I don't know where the walls are and what every shadow is from I also can't look out of a window if I'm shutting the curtains when its dark - an odd fear that someone may look back at me from right outside...

There are nights when I'm walking around the house in the dark and I'm afraid something is out to get me. I honestly don't know why I've recently started doing this- probably the horror movies, which is why I don't like to watch them!

we all feel like that sometimes...it really is all in your mind though.
its just the demons in your head taking on a form.

I used to feel that way, but for some odd reason, I find them to be friendlier and familiar than they really seem, really...

but this is probably for reasons other than what your speaking of

me too.
i turn lights on throughout where i walk, just to make sure i can see everything.
and check all around my room before sleeping, and then pretend i can't see anything, so it can't see me.
get the feeling i'm gonna be doing that for a while.
but either way, the comments here just prove you're not alone.

"To light a candle is to cast a shadow."

I feel the same way; I have a bed off the ground and I still jump onto is so nothing can come out from under the bed to grab me.

It's by Ursula K. LeGuin. I did a project on that quote for school, which is why I remember it. xP

Omg me too, especially on a night after I've seen a scary movie and I'm the last one to go to sleep.

I used to HAVE to have a light on (whether is be a small light or the ceiling light) but now it irritates my eyes and keeps me up.
It's okay.

I grew up afraid of the dark. My aunt read me a story about a person's shadow coming out and killing them when in the dark.. I was only like...5? (Yeah, my aunt is sooo nice...*sarcasm*)

In the past couple of years, I've grown out of it. When lights are on, you can't enjoy the beauty of the night. I still have my moments where I panic and think my shadow are after me, though. I just close my eyes and repeat to myself that nothing is there and I'll turn away from where I saw the initial threat (before opening my eyes).

I have nyctophobia, so I can easily understand your issue. But like Jennifer's comment, I pull the covers over my head and sleep. And of course, I'm twenty.

this little light of miiiine, i'm gonna let it shine, this little light of miiiiine, i'm gonna let it shine, let it shine let it shine let it shine.

Wherever there's a light, the shadow cannot be. So let your inner light shine and you ahve nothign to worry about.


ok so the last part was crap, but you made me think of that song we used to sing in gatherings when i was a child, so i had to make it relevent

I'm seventeen, and I still feel like that some nights. Last night was one of them.

But I still feel like I'm safe if I'm under the covers
