I suspect that the first three are personifications of some of your
own fears - either of your own imagining, or drummed into you as a
child by your elders.

The fourth is not uncommon. It is a place of retreat and comfort
within yourself.  If you wished, you could visualize it as a place
where you could go to be alone and undisturbed.

Isn't the mind fascinating?
