Feel Free to post odd or unusual Phobia here

My biggest fear is WORMS. That is a shame due to the fact I love to to fish. Give me a minnow,spring lizard,cricket what ever and I will bait my own hook without blinking and eye. I am not touching no freaking worm LOL. Another draw back of my fear is I love to garden...well where there is dirt there are worms....yuck.

I don't like the dark and I can not sleep without a light or my tv on. I see shadows and things. Which is unnerving when I don't expect to see them. I am an avid paranormal investigator and I would be the first one in at a creepy graveyard or old abandoned house...but I am not sleeping in the dark LOL.

oh my! you all sure do have some very unique phobias! thanks Lola, good thread! i like Donna's thoughts on it. i know it's all to do with how we process things and where we are etc etc. connected.

i don't think i have a phobia, but more of a fear. glad it's not worms! oh my ilook4spirits! i love worms..and bugs, spiders, ants.. in fact i love all living creatures..even down to those funky little mites. why? just cuz i grew up being around them in our massive backyard jungle! yup, dad never mowed the lawn..and we had plenty of fruit trees and corn. mmm.. a good place to snack for any kid! i wish the family still owned it today.

Oh I grew up in the country ( about as country as you can possibly get). I currently live in Ararat VA which is a tiny speck on the map nestled in the mtn's. We have 1 school, fire department, PO and 2 stores and that is about it LOL. Our claim to fame is that our tiny town is where Gen J.E.B Stuart of civil war fame was born ( I can hear you all snickering now " Red neck" 😆 ). I grew up not far from here in Lowgap NC. It is not any bigger than where I live now on my farm. I love all critters to ( see my animal rescue site www.ourcritters.net and that will confirm that ) . I just do not want to have anything to do with worms if I can help it LOL. My phobia stemed from my brother who made me eat a live night crawler when I was a kid. He took pleasure out of torturing me...and he scared me for Life .

Ok I am not sure if this is a phobia. But woo I am having a hard time evne thinking about it cause it seriously took a long time to get over it. I have a phobia I guess you would say of the movie Ghost Ship.
The overall movie no, but the part um in the beginning where they use the wire on the ship to slice the people dancing. Oh God I really was pissed at my husband cause he didn't warn me. It seriously took me a long time to even be able to look at the vhs case. I really don't even like talking about the movie. And I am not squeamish about stuff. I watched them sew my sons head closed when he busted it open. But for some reason that part was just really morbid to me.

well i dont think this is phobie, but insects for me are disgusting... im scared of all the flying bugs, mantis, roaches, and does fast walking crickets, i really dont like them... thing is... i use to burn alot of them 😁 hhahahaah

eeewww Destyn.. no wonder you may think the bugs are out to get you! Burning them lil critters..

My phobia(s) I will mention 2 of them..lol

Tunnels or caves.. all my life....If I can avoid them I do at all costs.. I have never been on a Subway.. never been in an area to take one but I know that they would fall into the same category... and not something I would do.

Being in water (swimming/standing) where I can't see the bottom, like a merky lake. A pool or the Ocean in the Caribbean is fine.. but I have to see the bottom.. don't want something touching my legs or feet that I could not see cos it would be game over for me... Or even tripping over something in the water would send me over the edge. This water thing has only been since I have been an adult.. as a child I swam in the lake all the time. I don't know where the phobia came from. JAWS maybe? Or the fact we had people drown at our lake and then they never found the bodies.. hmmm..

Here's another odd one for me.

Reflective surfaces in the dark. I can't look at them for longer then a quick glance in the dark. It's probably a part of the trauma from my friends' practical joke on me. And if I should ever see a spirit in one I'm sure I'd have a panic attack. 🙁
