Sciophobia, or sciaphobia, is the fear of shadows. The fear can be generational, meaning the fear passes from person to person, or observed behavior. Shadows can be scary to some people because of the possible presence of harmful things or unwanted visitors within it. Sciophobia is usually caused by a past traumatic event, like a little cartoon mouse casting shadows as big as a monster seen on television.
