Who's Afraid of the Dark?
In the past, I watched some dramas where the lead had phobia of the dark called nyctophobia, scotophobia, achluophobia, and lygophobia, but I forgot which ones they were. I decided I must be getting old or have watched too many dramas to keep track LOL. So I'm starting to keep record.
