Hey,

I don't think you have anything to be afraid of. If it was 'something' there to get you and it really could do that, don't you think it would have done that already. And in that case I don't think you'd feel curiousity or excitement, just plain terror. Try to get through the fear, get angry at the fear you're feeling, that should help. Keep exploring and maybe you'll find out what's going on.
