: why do some of us fear closets?

Question

For me exactly, it’s a fear I had since I was a kid for no reason, I’m aware there’s nothing in there, yet I feel terrified at the idea of sleeping with the closet door opened at all

The closet at night is dark, you don’t know what’s in the closet so it’s something where someone can hide. Also, many movies even kid’s movies contain scenes about people in closets.
