Hello,

You have been suffering from hylophobia fear of forests and wooded areas and pareidolia or interpretation of scary faces. You might be having anxiety issues too. You can talk to a clinical psychologist (therapist) regarding this. Cognitive behavioral therapy would help you deal with anxiety and other symptoms you have been suffering from. Kindly take an appointment of a therapist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
