+86 If you know you're alone in the middle of the night it's not really scary. It's the "what if I'm not alone" that makes it scary, amirite?

Like an inverse of the "Backrooms" scenario. The backrooms are scary not because there's a creepypasta monster roaming around there, it's because the place itself is unsettling. It's so empty and wrong.

Exactly, the unknown is way scarier than being truly alone.

It's that old classic, fear of the dark is literally in our DNA. It's nearly unavoidable, but it's a misnomer, we're not scared of the dark, we're scared of what could be in the dark.

Did a Halloween Horror Nights and I think they forgot to light a room, it was 99% dark. That was the scariest moment of the whole theme park for me, even though room ended up being empty. I just grabbed the two closest people to me and had them guide me to the next room

Except you were actually alone. Those two closest "people"… yeah…

People always say there's nothing better than the sound of a child's laughter. Unless you don't know where it's coming from.

Now I'm reminded of the "humans can lick too" story. Who needs sleep anyway?

Alright, I'll bite. Why shouldn't I google this rabbit hole?
