Answer:
People fear the unknown but once you really find out what it is, it is not that scary anymore
Explanation:
The narrator is scared of being in the forest by himself and when he encounters a spooky house, he is afraid to knock on the door. But when he does, someone opens the door and invites him in. The narrator and the clock and candlestick have fun together all night. This shows that the narrator is afraid of the spooky house because it is mysterious, but once he sees that the people/things living in the house isn't scary at all, he enjoys himself.
