    Oh yeah, are you spooked by the dark? When you go outside at night and there is literally no light do you listen to see if you hear breathing or anything? Like, I just was taking out the trash and it's 3 am and the light that is supposed to illuminate the driveway where our trashcans are is burned out so I started walking out and then first I step on something and then I hear a hiss and the trashcans that are all filled with trash fell over and I said "lolnope" and ran back inside. I can't deal with ♥♥♥♥ like that man, what about you?
     
    I sleep in pitch black darkness (aka no nightlight). So I'm not really afraid of the dark.

    Unless you're at the forest, or in the middle of nowhere...with no flashlight, then yes that's scary.

    This is basically everyone lol.

    Also, dark places that gives you those "chills" running through your back as well. Nope, not going there.
     
    No, I Can Easily Walk Off Into The Dark With Confidence, But Not At Midnight In A Street, I Go In The Bush. :)

    But Sometimes When I Hear Creepy Noises I'll Run Back Screaming. xD
     


    But really, no. My neighbourhood's horrible, and I barely go out of my house due to that. Not even in the day. Along with that, bats scare the hell out of me :'(

    I always feel as if something's going to stab me in the back and then kill me or something when I go around to the shops or something at night...scares me so much, I walk as fast as I can back home, if my mum's ordered me to buy things at the supermarket.

    I used to have a fear of the dark, but it was overcome with the power of sound! No, honestly. My desk fan's light hum lulls me to sleep. As odd as that sounds, it works. :p
     
    The dark isn't what I fear, but I do fear walking around my apartment complex or town at night because it's not very safe, even to take the trash out. I have to walk by a lot of cars and I usually check inside and walk quickly. Sometimes I'll ask my boyfriend to just stand on the back porch so I feel safer.

    When it comes to dark in general though, such as dark inside my home, I'm not afraid at all.
     
    I love the dark, I love the unknown. It doesn't bother me at all really, I think that is because I don't fear death and know that there is nothing in the dark thats gonna "get me", LOL! I have a rational fear of heights though, not sure why it just makes me nervous and I get real shakey but don't really freak out...

    Heh well about that, I really hate the dark specifically in my room only, anywhere else is completely fine, the reason is because my room is practically haunted in every sense and nobody wants to sleep in it aside from me. I love the feeling of not being alone. Heh but the dark ruins it because I won't be able to see anything. >=]
     
    It used to be one of my major fears as a child. I'm least active at night, and I basically lock myself indoors as the night falls. I love mornings though. :P Not so much waking up.
     
    I'm not really scared of the dark. But, sometimes our imagination gets ahold of us. I just think logically. Monsters don't exist. Despite that, I still have to go through my list of things.

    1. No moaning or shuffling- no zombies
    2. No full moon or howling- no werewolves
    3. And so on.

    If I'm outside at night, it's when I'm walking the dogs.
    I'm sorry dogs- your dinner tonight for the next vampire. ;)
     
    I'm not necessarily afraid of the dark... but I won't sleep in complete darkness because I'm still new to The South and the things that inhabit it. I'd never seen a cockroach or a millipede before we moved down south, okay? I like spiders and snakes, but roaches and millipedes creep me the ♥♥♥♥ out. And I am convinced that they are ghosts and will only come out to play in the dark. I'm safe with my light on. ;~;

    Also I won't go outside by myself in the dark, but that's more because I can't see for ♥♥♥♥. My boyfriend came with built-in night vision. I just hold his hand. :3
     
    As a rule....scared of it? Not really. I actually prefer things being dark because it's easier on my vision. I don't like too much light.

    Am I cautious about it depending on where I am? You bet. While I don't mind things like going outside in the dark, I will take some caution when I am outside and by myself. Although this is apparently a rather safe neighborhood, so I already have the advantage of something most likely not happening to me if I go out.
     
    I love the dark sometimes, it's a refreshing change. It's never scared me. I don't even do that thing where you run to bed after turning the light off for fear of monsters, I just walk over, cool as a cucumber.
     
    EMBRACE THE DARKNESS! LET IT CONSUME YOUR BODY AND SOUL! ALLOW IT TO EMPOWER YOUR BODY SO THAT YOU CAN CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES!

    There's not much in this world that I fear.
     
    IF YOU PEE IN THE DARK HOW THE HECK DO YOU HIT THE TOILET. WHAT ARE YOU.
    Is this a question? Well, I'm quite the skiller (or it's because I know of a way to prevent "blindly shooting into the dark"). The proper question would be "how do you brush your teeth?", because that's actually challenging (well, not the brushing part itself, but I guess you can easily figure out, what I mean). The answer to that is: you have to get the right "feeling". {XD}
     
    I'm not generally spooked by the dark, probably not even late at night outside or in a forest or something, unless I've watched a horror film or something scary, then yeah it's pretty creepy. But I guess I'm not scared because it's like, how often is somebody actually killed by like a ghost or alien or something, and even if I was, that'd be a pretty awesome way to go :D
