Hi friends, Can you stay alone in a big house alone in the night times?
For me I cant because from my childhood I never stayed alone atleast one time also.. always either with my parents and sister or atleast with my granny and my sister and I was crazy watching scary movies and reading scary(devil) stories are comics some times so those thoughts will haunt me if I stay alone.. even after getting married if my husband by chance has to go out of station then I either go to my parents house or I call my mom or my sister to come and stay with me here..
how about you? Please share..

Hi Chaitra!
I would not prefer to stay alone at night in my house. I would feel uncomfortable. Once I went to Hyderabad for some official visit (many years ago) we were put up in a very reputed five star Hotel. I was allotted an exclusive room, which has TV and all other facilities. I could not sleep for the entire night due to lonliness, though it was compeletely safe from all accounts.

I don't mind being alone at night in a big house. it isn't something i would want to do all of the time. solitude is good when you need it. Sometimes it's better to have a little company at your side.

I have no problem staying home alone at night. I used to be afraid when I was still young but eventually I grew out of it. I still feel a little afraid sometimes especially when I'm in a big house but I just think to my self there's no point scaring myself and my fear is all in the mind. Of course, I also pray whenever I feel a little afraid.

What you see in the movies, stay in the movies. Fear is just a natural reaction and by accepting it you come closer to get rid of it. I've been many times alone like you, sometimes literally in the middle of nowhere but I always had one thing in mind. After dark it is still the very same world as in daylight. In fact, I do like it by night even more

And you know what??? I was much more courageous when I was younger and now that I’m in middle age, I’m becoming more and more coward. Being a single child of working parents, I was always used to staying alone at home…regularly during the day times and sometimes during the night when my parents went to stay in our other house and I chose not to!!! In my early youth, it was rather a novelty staying home alone at night…I enjoyed the freedom and my own time. However, nowadays I’m becoming more and more weak both mentally and physically. I cant seem to stay alone even in a small flat… I imagine so many things lurking about in the kitchen LOL

No, I do not like to stay alone in a big house, I don't like the idea to stay alone in the night as it is very scary,and besides with a increasing number of thefts and robberies it is not safe for people to stay alone, But still by depending on the Almighty it is possible to stay alone.

Hi, chaitra, I don't like to be alone, let it be any time in the day. But staying alone in a big house is not a problem for me if there is internet connection in that house, a television should also be there and there should be houses around.

Hi vijayanths.. I have all the facilities you said here.. but still I am scared to stay alone at night times.. yes being alone any time is boring but when I am alone day time I spend time on internet or I watch TV.. or I just go through some books and news papers.. and atlast I will go to work in my garden to remove weeds and so on.. so day time its not a problem for me..

yes if we own the house or i know the owner of the house. my sister and i lived in a big house before and i'm used to being left in the house most of the time. it feels weird sometimes because of the deafening silence. and sometimes i think of whatever creepy stuff but we have two dogs so am with them roaming around the house even in the middle of the night.

Bindaas !!!
I do stay in a big house at night times.
If my parents are gonna leave me at night times, i would stay in my house without any fear or something like that.
I just watch movies and play games until i get tired and then i will switch off the computer and get some sleep...
It's just a night...

well let it be a lesson to you and not let your children watch a lot of horror movies and read devil stories. i have lived alone in my house but it is not very big so cannot say if i can live alone in a big house. but you are now married and not a child anymore. so try to spend a night alone next time your husband goes out of station. all your fears will go away.

i can stay. im used to it already and im not afraid of ghosts either. actually, i watch horror movies when im alone. i just like the idea. it's no big deal for me to be left alone in a big house. what i would likely to do is to play music or watch tv or movies, cook and eat, or surf the internet.

maybe a little scary but I guess it's just a feeling early-start, over time, you'll get used to living at big house though alone .....

Hi advokatku.. I hope so i can stay alone one day but its not very near that I am sure.. begining it was difficult for me at day times too.. now I can stay alone till 11 o clock after that my imagination starts haunting me..

No, i think it's really a intimidating thing to stay alone at night time, let alone in a big house. Big house always gives me a gruesome atmosphere. Oh, I cann't imagine the feeling, for I am already scared now.

i do stay home alone, even at night but only in our own house. i do watch horror movies and get scared as well and have goosebumps but i'm already comfortable in my own room and own home so i could definitely stay there alone even in the dark. But if i were to stay in a different house alone, i definitely would find someone to be with me.

Hi friend, Same here.. I am also very much scaring with my imaginative thoughts so I can never stay alone.. So I always have some one with me either my hubby, mom, dad or my sister.. I am always dependent on them in this matter.. Thanks for sharing..
