A little bit of Sauron and more of just the fear of the unknown. Most that entered lothlorien were either dinied entry, killed or never wanted to leave.

As for Galadriel, she was powerful, that people knew of her. But no ordinary person knew anything else so rumors and such spread about her.

Most "Men" feared elves in the third age, especially powerful ones. So the fear of the unknown and powerful made the rumors of Galadriel what they were, and so affected Lothlorien.
