Well you should be afraid, be very afraid because at dark sites no one can hear you scream. Being European has nothing to do with it (although I did marry a Dutch girl and I agree that she is pretty edgy over things she cannot control), being at dark sites alone is a problem I admit. The world has changed since I was a kid in the 70s. I'm over six feet and 100kg and I get concerned out in the middle of the football over across the road from my house. I am near the centre of Melbourne though...

I don't think you should ever visit a dark site alone, always try to observe at least in pairs or even better through an astronomy club.
