Many years ago, someone told me do not hang white clothes during night time.

I guess the reason is because during night time especially windy night, when you wake up for toilet, you may get frightened by the white clothes hanging outside is wavering at you  Grin

Is there any other reason besides my guessing?

My guess is that your reason is probably one of them.  The other would probably be superstitious reason like inviting negative spirit.

I also heard it is because of the flying 'gong tao' that will fly and stick on the white colour shirt. So when the next day you wear the clothes you will follow the guy home. This story is from those time most of the people are staying in the village.
