The Buddha's advice when you have fear - Chant the "Itipiso bhagava...."

"I also say unto you O monks — if any fear, terror or hair standing on end should arise in you when you have gone to the forest or to the foot of a tree, or to an empty house (lonely place), then think only of me thus:
'Such Indeed is the Blessed One, arahant, supremely enlightened, endowed with knowledge and virtue, well gone, knower of the worlds, the peerless trainer of persons, teacher of gods and men, the Buddha, the Blessed One.' Monks, if you think of me, any fear, terror, or standing of hair on end, that may arise in you, will pass away." ~ Dhajagga Sutta SN 11:3
