darkness that doesn't just hide things, it implies they're hiding from you

means Gloomy darkness or thick haze that obscures what lies within it.

from From Old English 'mirce' meaning dark or murky, with relatives across the Germanic north — Old Norse 'myrkr' (dark) gave Scandinavian places and even the Mirkwood-style 'mirk' of dark forests. The whole family seems to trace back to a Proto-Germanic root for darkness, the kind that gathers rather than simply falls.
