Maybe not a genuine fear but as a kid when I imagined what might be lurking in the dark it was aliens. On a farm out in the country, in the house at night with curtains open you’d just see darkness outside and the starry sky. Sometimes I’d see that green reflective glow of animal eyes in the dark or something moving out in the fields. Walking through the farm at night the space beyond the doors of the big shed loomed dark and ominous. Who’s to say there aren’t watchful eyes of intelligent creatures, curious and malicious, ready to grab you at any moment.
