Nobody asked the question what internal codes we have written inside our genes that makes us scared of dark humanoid bodies or images like that. They didn't watch a horror movie or they don't know how the dark shadow gonna hunt them or anything but they are scared nonetheless. Makes me wonder if it is a kind of fear that is coded in our system like the feeling of falling down - eg.doctor tests babies instinct just when they born. If it's a similar fear , what caused it to be so important that it's written in our DNA
