I don't know how old you are but when I was a kid that would creep me out too. It wasn;t the dark spaces themselves it was the unknown that maybe "down the dark hallway" someone might be hiding ready to jump out at me.
It's not abnormal to have fears but when its debilitating, there is a problem. I kinda had to keep telling myself that its my imagination running away with me. Also at night I'd walk around the house with a flashlight but I'd turn it off for a bit to get used to the dark, then it got to the point that I didn't need the light to find my way around. I got to know my surroundings and learned that there was nothing to be scared of
