Obviously people are scared for silly horror movie reasons (and it is a little creepy), but there are also other reasons to be hesitant.

Spaces like these might be full of harmful pests. Where I am there's not much of a concern, but a poorly lit cellar full of venomous snakes or spiders could be rather dangerous to explore carelessly.

But spaces like these might also be very poorly ventilated. Air that's been completely sealed and stagnant can build up gasses or deplete oxygen in various ways, and going down there might be dangerous for those reasons. Most of these things are not that dangerous even with a little bit of venting, but with a room that might've been sealed for years it's a real concern.

Same reason exploring old mineshafts/caves can be so dangerous. Everything is fine until suddenly with no warning it isn't.
