I'd say the unknkown is always scarier than the known. If there's an explanation, if it's rational, if it makes sense, then that means there's a way to fight it, explain it, or rationalize it. That makes it normal. Or at least connected to reality. Therefore, not as frightening. What's more unnerving? If lightning strikes right behind you, would you find it more frightening that it hit there because you were on top of a hill, standing next to a metal fence outside, or if you were safely in your kitchen, in a valley, with a lightining rod nearby, and the lightning struck right behind you for no reason at all?
