The host said, “You had an absolutely overwhelming complete terror of the dark.”
Sarah responded, “I sat up in bed and slept with my eyes open because I was so scared of the dark. I thought that if I slept with my eyes open, I could see any spooks coming towards me.
“I realised that my fear of the dark was my fear of the demons inside myself and the black treacle, my fears and anxieties that were inside myself.”
Beatrice and Eugenie’s mother said that she survived her fear by fighting the inner demons.
