What are you even afraid of? I night hike about 5 days a week in the winter (it gets dark early where I am). I remember in the beginning it was kinda spooky but it was really just the atmosphere.

This one is fair. Carry a knife and be in good shape. They should be afraid of you if you're night creeping properly. 99% of the people I run into at Trailheads are just kids smoking weed.
OK so on to the legitimate issues/things you should be scared of:
>Falling/tripping
Flashlights can screw up depth perception on rough trails. Just be careful.
>Driving to the Trailhead
Drunks are out at night and visibility is limited. Statisticcally, the drive to the trail is always the most dangerous part, yet since we are used to the risks of driving we are numb to this.
