Are you afraid of the dark or are you afraid of what's in the dark?

Today, I was thinking to go into the woods in the dark alone. I am at my native. I like to roam in the woods. At the evening, I was feeling little unwell while roaming and I went at one place which I hadn't explored before. It's giving me weird vibes. Somehow I got out of that place and after that I decided to go into known place. After some time I came back home. But when it got dark, I felt like that place is calling me back. Also I walked few meters towards it but I stopped. Later I realised that eclipse was just happened and it's darkest night. Also, I remembered that one of relative of mine mentioned tiger's appearance in the village few days back.
