Do you have an unusual phobia?
Many people have the ?normal "phobias like spiders, enclosed spaces, the number 13, but others, like my self, have slightly strange ones.
I am terrified of cut out dummies, you know the one I mean , life-size cardboard cut outs of a person normally advertising a c d or similar product . They stand in most music shops and major retail stores.. They give me nightmares their eyes seem to follow you were ever you go..it freaks me out :eek:
Anyone else got any weird phobias ?
Hmm, I don't think this is a phobia, per se, but there's some weird occasions when I'm terrified to step out under a clear night sky.
If we were to elevate that to status of a phobia, then I guess it could be called "agoraphobia". I think that spending waaaay too much time in front of a PC or indoors makes big wide space places a little bit freaky at (the most random) times.
Also, I have an irrational fear of serial killers. You know. Stuff.
I had an insurmountable fear of the Barracuda/Kreepy Krawly at the bottom of pools when I was younger. That noise they make (when you are submerged) really freaked me out. I could not get close to them (like within 2 metres!).
Every now and then, pangs from that fear return and I force myself to swim to the machine and touch it.

I am petrified of heights, but not when I am in a plane or something. Only tall buildings(even inside) or rope ladders.
Going to the top floor of humanities at tuks is a bitch.
I have a weird fear of those store dolls with the huge red smiles.
Those things creep living bejsus outa me.
I don't have a phobia or a "stopping-you-from-carrying-on" type of fear. Though if I had to point out a fear I do have, it is of the unknown.
You don't have to fear me, i'm quite harmless :P
Y'know, I doubted you for a moment there, so I checked up on it and found out that my definition is indeed a common misconception of the word's meaning.
Go figure. +1 cookie 2wo u! ^^
And yes, Kreepy Krawlies are damn terrifying. :(
Only heights... but that's pretty normal, although, if I only think of heights my body also tenses up.
I'm afraid of heights too.
I've got a low down desk, looking down to pick something up I get a little panic attack.
Glady not like that
I really have no irrational fears besides I get very clastrophipic in crowded SHOPPING CENTRES.

Don't laugh but I have a fear of drains! You know those ones in the pavement that are used to stop the streets from flooding! I fear those!
lol. I have that drain phobia and the kreepy krawly one as well. They just freak the **** out of me for some reason.
I'm glad someone agrees and I also had that creepy crawly phobia too
... damn those f**king crows. <_<
Don't you hate them I do especially when I have a headache
Lol. Nandrew you meanie. ;D I really don't like snakes and sharks (great white sharks). Those cold, calculated eyes disturb me. Not to mention, all those teeth. :P
Did you know?: More pple are killed by laening on the back of their chairs then by sharks!(i'm not saying don't be afraid though)
Yummi_kitty, if you ever confront a great white in the ocean.. Tell him that, and let me know what he says. k? :-)
As for the people that fall off chairs.. It's proof that their are incredibly stupid people in this world. lol.
I have a terrible fear of getting hi-jacked, smash'n'grabbed, mugged. I'm basically paranoid, and if I'm driving late at night, I don't stop at traffic lights. But I hardly think thats unusual or a phobia.
