Like sweeie has said, we have a primitive tension in the dark, perhaps a fear, but you're imagination is taking you prisoner and it needs to stop. I use to be like you, when I was younger I had a very active imagination, I also had sleep paralysis which probably made my fear of the dark worse. I had night lights and lava lamps into my early teenage years but sometime around them I realized that this was pointless, and that I needed to grow up.
The thing is, whether ghosts are real or not, nothing can harm you. I don't advise walking around in the dark in most situations, but I challenge you to maybe, go to a basement, or turn your lights off, and sit. Challenge the darkness. There is nothing to be afraid of. That's what I did. It's about killing your fears. I went down and stood in my basement closed the door and turned the lights off, for a good few minutes, and just let all the fear out. It might take a few tries, but after that I was A LOT better.
Is it normal that i am 18, and scared of the dark?
