    Thunderstorms, definitely. I mean yeah, lightning can kill you, but how likely is it to, really? Too bad I don't understand statistics when I'm terrified.

    I suppose I should add in people, but I don't consider that a strange fear. I bet a person is much more likely to get murdered than struck by lightning.

    Ever since I found out a year ago that there have been many cougar sightings in Michigan, even in my county, I have been afraid to go for my beloved long walks or runs outside. I live out in the country where many deer roam and I just know they're out there! It's not absolutely debilitating yet, as I can still do it, but something I used to LOVE doing has become an act of extreme difficulty and bravery for me. I hate it! :(

    I've also been afraid of bees for as long as I can remember. I have a high pain threshold so it has nothing to do with the pain of getting stung. It's a control thing; I don't like the thought of one chasing me. Don't like dogs running towards me for the same reason.

    I agree with someone on the first page. I think completely irrational or unexplainable fears come from past life experiences!

    I have a few mates that are terrified of thunder, but are completely fine with lightning and the thought of being hit by it..
    I get its a loud, banging noise.. But still, a firework bang is only scary if your afraid of being hit by the like explosion.. and thunder should only be scary if you afraid of being hit by lightning.. So dont understand just the fear of the noise..
    But completely understand the fear of being hit by lightning, has got to hurt!

    Earwigs...and Needles.. when I was pregnant the doctor ended up writing in my medical history that I have a needle phobia because it takes forever to get me to get a blood test or whatever

    To be hypnotized...like in the Stir of Echoes movie with Kevin Bacon.

    I wouldn't even go see one of those Vegas shows for fear that I would fall under the spell and never come out of a nightmare.

    None of my fears are strange. Rapists, murderers and clowns.

    Grape jelly.

    Only grape???

    I'm freaked out of going down escalators. I always get an image of me toppling down one when I get near it.

    Being touched. I can't even stand the though of it. Also, bunk beds. I'm always extremely freaked out that the top bunk will fall and I'll either be killed, or accidentally kill someone.

    Those tubes of dough that you peel to release the pressure.... *shudder* If there's someone else home, I will have them open if for me, or I try to open it by force instead of dealing with the suspense of when it will pop open at me.

    All dresser drawers and closet doors must be shut before getting into bed. Things will just come out of them if not closed! Really tall bridges...hate driving over them. Esp the big bridge across the Columbia at Longvew, WA. That thing is really TALL!!

    Whoever said "grape jelly" - I TOTALLY GET IT.

    I am terrified of puke. I'm afraid I will do it. Afraid someone around me will do it. Afraid someone will do it in a movie. This ridiculous fear has made me reconsider a handful of career paths.

    I am scared of unfinished books. When I read Stephen King's "Gerald's Game", I was about 300 pages to the end. I just couldn't leave her all by herself, so I stayed up all night and read it to the end. I was very grateful to see the sun come up in the morning, and really happy when the little ones took a nap! Now, I make sure I start reading in the morning so that I can be finished before sunrise.

    Magnified pictures of the mites that live on our bodies and in our eyelashes...EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW

    No one should have to think of what nibbles on them 24/7
    so sorry

    im terrified of roaches- if i see one no matter what time of day or night it is i will get someone else to kill it for me- so if theres one creeping by i will walk away from it they scare me that much.
    and closet doors- they have to be completely shut or completely open- when i was a kid my dad had to take the doors off my closest because i was so afraid of it

    Snakes - can't even look at them on tv or in a magazine. If I ever saw one for real, I'd probably die of heart attack. My husband knows if he wants to collect on my life insurance, all he has to do is put a fake one in the bed!
