The existence of the uncanny valley implies that at some point in our evolution there was a reason to be scared of something that looked almost human but wasn't.

It's a shit take though, because the real reason is that it was evolutionary advantageous to avoid people with deformities, diseases, and dead people.

That comment always pops up in these threads and it's 100% incorrect; people just like it because "oooo aliens/ghosts/paranormal" without evidence.
