What is the teaching of the Aerial Tollhouses mentioned in some Saints? Are they an "Orthodox" teaching? Should I be afraid of them?

"No matter how absurd the idea of the toll-houses may seem to our 'wise men' according to the age, they will not escape passing through them."
+ St. Theophan the Recluse
“This uninterrupted, constant, and ubiquitous use in the Church of the teaching on the tollhouses, especially among the teachers of the fourth century, indisputably testifies to the fact that it was handed down to them from the teachers of the previous ages and is based on apostolic tradition.”
+ St. Macarius of Moscow
