Fear of the dark is primordial superstition - ghosts and demons.

more like wolves and bears.

BUT actually I feel a lot safer in the dark than by day. I don't feel
illuminated as a potential target. Hiding is easy. Find deep shadow and
be still.

Any attacker must then use a light..

Or have better eyesight or be sitting in the shadows watching your
movements and waiting for you to be close enough.

(Don't get me wrong, I worked for two decades at night and became used
to using my ears as much as my eyes to warn me of anything to concern
me.)
