Things I learn from horror:

[nilchance]

Say you're a 15 year old kid, and there's a monster living in your closet. Every night, the monster creeps out (it's been living in the crawl-space) and mutilates you while you sleep.

Do you:
a) run screaming from the house after the first incident, never to return?
b) start taking kitchen knives to bed?
c) continue sleeping in room with monster and bandaging wounds so no one can know?

(Hint: the story says C.)

I'm the idiot who would get a knife and then go looking for the thing. I did that when I thought someone had broken into my house (rather than call 911 in case I was being paranoid - I was). That said, I also don't go investigate weird sounds if I'm in public. See above comment about parking lots and large squirrels. Hell to the no. In my own home though? Hell if I'm letting something hurt me in my own home.
