ACHLUOPHOBIA

Achluophobia is the fear of the dark. People aren't afraid of the dark but imagine dangers that could possibly be in the dark. Parents took advantage of that and made the boggy man. It is more common in children and most of them overcome it after the age of nine while others overcome it when very old. You don't need to be ashamed of it but it is a very rare thing in adults ,even famous people are achluophobic e.g Thomas Edison. He was achluophobic and by not wanting to overcome it he overcame it and not only that, he made the first light bulb. So out of a fear came something that changed mankind.
