What if it really was scary?

By Lynne Cory

What if there is an oldbelief that the devil or monsters comes out at night when many of us are sleeping?  What if 100s of years ago candles were very expensive and so on starless nights all that really happened is that people fell and were badly hurt or never found and others were attacked and robbed by humans and all these creepy things were attributed to an evil one?  What if they believed that light scared away the devil?  What if this fear became contagious?
