I get paranoid about leaving my wardrobe doors open when I'm in bed. I keep looking over at them if they are left open. When they are closed it is fine.

+ 1 - but mine stems from the babysitter letting my watch Childsplay. Had to get rid of all my dolls after that.

ALso scared of the man under the bed - even though my bed has base!!! He'd have to be one skinny to fit in under there. At night when I go the bathroom I still take a running jump into the bad on the way back.

Oh yeah and EVERYTHING after a few days on the cider!!!

My biggest phobia is wasps - normal enough I guess.

However, I have some other, more unusual ones:

Nail files
Tomato ketchup
Any ads with laughing babies or talking babies
Wooden puppet things (like Thunderbirds, Team America etc.)

Oh another one I forgot to mention earlier: bikes.
Haven't ridden a bike for years because if I do I know I'll fall off and die.

You know, that's like me and swimming. I just about learned how to swim on my last family holiday, and that was the last time I was actually in a pool. I know if I'm ever in a perilous position where I have to swim, I'm gonna sink.:(

Spiders...especially those ones that are big enough to warrant keeping an eye on, they are there one minute & then suddenly - WHOOM! - they vanish. Are they in my shoes, under my seat, crawling up my leg as I think about it. Yeuch! *shivers*

Disease Ridden

NOTHING. Well the truth maybe.

Evil looking porcelain dolls. The kind that were in 'Tommy Knockers' or that X files episode were the doll keeps saying: "I want to play". Or something along those lines. Those things scare me for some reason.

Those dolls are in Red Dragon? I've never read the book but what was their significance to the story? Or did they have any significance?

pandemonium

When i was about 6 my best friend had a puppet show for her birthday and one of the characters was a wee ghost, and its freaked the sh1te out of me, I've no idea why as it was basically a 7 inch tall fancy sock puppet,anyways after that day i would convince myself i'd seen the puppet everywhere particularly at night,and i refused to go up or down the stairs alone for almost a year.

Another is caves, or being underground. I dont know why

Doctor DooM

Funny.. I've always loved caves.

pandemonium

Dunno why they freak me out just hate the thought of being in them

Clare Bear

Open wardrobes at night, no way can I sleep if they're not fully closed. Ped egg adverts, people pulling hair out of their head/eyebrows/wherever, darkness, Swords Malahide roundabout, cats (and me a Veterinary Nurse!), heights, the sea (well whatever is in the sea)-and I live right next to it, dust bunnies, driving behind lorries/vans, fences (whether they're electric or not, they COULD be electric!), attics, teenagers/children over the age of 3, public speaking, ghosts, old abandoned houses....

There's probably more, I'm a bit of a scaredy Claredy Bear

jojo2

biggest one is fire....that scene from bambi scared me!

weirder than that would be pineapples, rabbits and feet...irrational but true.

Dolls. All dolls are eeevilll.
I walk past this house on my way to and from work, and it's got these two big porceliene dolls standing in the living room window, looking outwards at the street.
I can feel their glassy gaze, watching me as I pass.
And the frilly, victorian clothes they wear, eurgh!

*Shudders*:(

There is quite honestly only one thing that scares me.

I used to not like spiders, the dark, and huge cliffs. As I got older I actually grew to like the things I used to be afraid of, now I love the darkness of night and spiders and cliffs. I love heights, they give me a thrill.

But there is one.....that I can't learn to like, or even simply not be afraid of. It haunts me and I truly am terrified of it.

Organized religion.

It's just...when I see a whole group of people sitting in a church/mosque/anything, and some guy is standing in front of them all waving his arms, reading lines out from a heavily mistranslated, misinterpreted, medieval tool to control the masses, and all the people chant in unison as the crowd is brainwashed and indoctrinated, slowly sucking out any hope of them forming logical, scientific, realistic beliefs and thoughts..I can't take it. A virus of the mind, spreading it's way through the indoctrination of children, holding back the progress of my species.

To me it's horrifying and actually really freaky.

I just want to sprint into the building and yell at the top of my lungs "Run AWAY! He's going to brainwash you all into absurd beliefs so you can do the same to your children and perpetuate the cycle for another two thousand years!! RUN!". Too bad it wouldn't even help, it's too late for most of them anyways.


Sorry if this offends any religious people, but I hate to break it to you...from a non-religious person's point of view, your religion is SCARY AS HELL.

This is why I practice disorganized religion.

I'd agree, but then you watch sports or something and it's not massively different. :pac:

I'm terrified of people in big costumes, you know the ones who walk around town, i.e., Homer Simpson. Damn you, Captain Croc!

Yes, and if I recall correctly, a certain amount of insane/ horrid behaviour is done in the name of sports too...

Cheese is scary to me as well, basically because I'm lactose intolerant.
