I'm female and have never heard of such a thing. It's not something I think about either. If any of my female friends are like this they've never told me. I love to travel and have met plenty of solo female travelers across the country and around the world.
I can't bring myself to tell my husband how much I loooooove having the place to myself. I adore him, and I love having him around, but there is just something wonderful about having All The Space be all mine!
I have also never met another female who was scared to sleep in a house/condo/whatever by herself, but I have a boatload of friends who love having the place to themselves. It's possible some do and it's never come up, but that's a lot of females who have no problem being solo.
Unless you ask, your friends may never share. My friends probably have no idea that I loathe sleeping alone because I do it all the time and have for years.

I agree. I bet that I am one of only two or maybe three people who know that about my two friends. (see post)

I also know an woman who does not want to be alone in a house or apartment overnight because she was raped in college when her room mate was gone. She always felt that it would not have happened if there would have been two people in the apartment.
While I do not think that it is common, IMHO, it is definably more likely to effect women then men.

I have lived alone most of my adult life. The only time I was ever afraid was after my home was broken into and burglarized.
I got an alarm system after that and was fine again.
