Is it normal to freak out and run up stairs?

okay i have a normal unfinished basment and sometimes my mom tells me to go get somthing from down there at like 12 at night. so i turn on the lights and whisper to myself *its all good, im safe* and i slowly get it and pretend im not scared. and then i get to the stair and freak out And i start sprinting up the stairs! is it normal that i always do that?

    I'm 25-years-old and still do that. My parents have that kind of basement and I hate going down there. I ALWAYS sprint up the stairs. I keep thinking someone will come up behind me. There used to even be a Facebook group about this! =)

  • It's normal. Whenever I have to go into a dark place I sprint to get out because I'm scared something will grab me and pull me into the darkness.
