Do you have any reason to be afraid of the basement?

Well, I used to be afraid of the dark. Going alone in the basement terrorized me! It was dirty and had many objects that could easily seize the imagination of a young child. I suppose I associated darkness as evil and the absence of something symbolic, Jesus. :D Now I know that "the shadow proves the sunshine".
God bless!

When I was little I was afraid of the basement but as I grew up I became less afraid of it. Though sometimes when I'm done there at night I have an eerie feeling. I think that some people are afraid of the basement because of what they were told when they were kids. For example, ghosts and monsters live in the basement; I think that's what scares some people.

I'm not afraid of the basement. At my school I have Spanish in the basement(yes, our school has a basement) so it's a good thing I'm not afraid of basements otherwise I'd fail. lol

nope not in this house, but then again we have lots of light and the walls are painted white, and I have carpet in my den down there, hubby also has carpet in his "dungeon" area... every dungeon master needs a dungeon....Next year we are going to put in that pink panther basement! I can't wait!
But in the house Ilived in before this, there was an old fashioned freddy krueger style boiler as the main source of heat for the house ( it was an old coal boiler converted to natural gas) there was also an unattached claw foot tub (good for dismembering bodies as our creepy friends would say) and there was a shower head installed right over the basement floor drain ( for easy & convenient clean up I suppose) The stairs going down it were rickety and once while bringing up the laundry, I put my foot right through a stair tread...so that basement was creepy...oh yeah & the spiders... the small ones had bodies the size of nickles and the big ones were the size of a susan b anthony dollar...just the bodies, you could hear them scurry across the floor...it took two or three direct hits to kill them...

Only when moving to a new house, because you never know what's lurking down there, and if there are any ghosts down there (I am really afraid of ghosts)
but then after a while and after knowing the basement well, I am no longer afraid

No. When I was a child though I was scared of our basement. it was a dirt basement, very dark and wet. I fell down the concrete stairs once, or rather was pushed by my rotten brother and that left me feeling even more afraid.

I don't have a basement but years ago I lived in a haunted house and the basement terrified me... I even saw a full body apparition down there.
