Why something that seems logical in daytime scares us and looks like the worst thing at night?

I don’t know if this question has a logical explanation or belongs here but i’d like to have an answer.

I forgot what it’s called, but nearly all humans have an internal device that identifies faces. That’s why when you look at some inanimate objects you can derive something similar to a face, clouds for example. As humans we are also preprogrammed to have more caution at night and have our guard up. As we have the function to see faces, we also have a function to see predators, especially at night.

The reason a logical item in day looks scarry at night is a primal defence mechanism from thousands of years ago which we all still retain.
