People are always afraid of the unknown, the uncharted and unpredictable. Darkness brings the same feeling of the unknown, the unpredictable and the uncharted.
Literature often associate figuratively evil with darkness and that's what most of us are afraid. Crimes and illegal activities are likewise happening in the dark. Basically it is in this bad light, that darkness get the nerves out of us.

well some people have had a dark past and hate dark because their past was so dark. Or some people just don't like blackness. ( i am afraid of the dark also) in my case i don't like the dark because i think someone will try to kill me or steal me. Have u even seen Hide And Seek? well all the really bad things happen in the dark in that movie.

I think some people are afraid of darkness because they feel like someone will come out of the darkness and get them.

I am afraid of the dark. I think it stems from the fact that when i was younger i never got the chance to settle in one place, we was always moving house. I'm just getting used to this house, (which is my own) now. Lived here for 3 years

They are afraid of the un-known ; of what they cannot see in the dark. In the same way , people are afraid of death, of being buried. A line from a song goes : Jenny said, when I die, do not bury Jenny, because Jenny is afraid of the dark.

the dark scares me and i am 18 haha. For me, it is watching scary films as a child, the scariest moments were usually when it was dark or pitch black. So now I think if i walk around in the dark at night, the grudge girl is gonna come kill me lol

People are afraid of the darkness because it obstructs their viewing. Especially because we depend on our eyes.
