Because you don't know what's on the other side.

It's completely normal, don't worry. It's that fear of the unknown. It's a survival instinct kicking in, and decidedly not paranormal.

But what if its only a certain door in my house?

Still applies. I get that way about my closet on occasion even though I know all that's in there is some hockey jerseys, pants and old books.

It's a phobia, maybe mixed with OCD. I generally need to have doors either closed completely or open about 1/4 of the way or it bothers me too, though I don't feel dread so much as a feeling I should just close it.
