Is it normal to run from dark rooms?

Not all the time, but every once in a while when I'm by myself I would try to stay away from dark rooms. I would always make sure there are enough lights on so I can make it safely around the house. Especially the upstairs bathroom, I would shut the light off and run to my bedroom fearing that something would grab me. Anyways, is this normal?

    Yes. Because demons, ghost and aliens are in dark rooms.

    As weird as it may sound, certain entities, aka demons, etc can be lurking. If u get a weird feeling, it may be. U can tell it to leave & it will.

    Oh my god. I do that too. I always thought it was just because I had anxiety. Lol I've had issues with the dark since early childhood.

    OMG i am not the only one. I really know how you feel. I just hate being in dark room or turning off light after everybody goes to sleep. I just run to my bed 'cos after that i feel so scared. I cant even sleep in the dark.

  • I do this sometimes, when Im the last one downstairs and I have to turn off the lights, I turn it off and make a run for it upstairs.
