The mother could not persuade her son to come home before dark. So she frightened him by saying that on the road to their house there were many ghosts that appeared only after dark.
As he grew up, the guy became afraid of ghosts to such an extent that he flatly refused to leave the house in the evening. Then the mother gave her son an amulet and explained that it would protect him.
