    Doctors, hospitals, ambulances, and especially, needles.
    What about nurses?! We aren't scary. :(

    Me...it freaks me out to sleep with the door closed. I saw a movie or a tv show where a girl was sleeping when a fire started in the house. The bedroom door was closed & she couldn't get it open because it was stuck. She didn't make it out of the house. I was really young, so I don't remember what movie it was. Scared me to death though! :noway:

    Open water, especially at night.

    Just found out this has a name: thalassophobia
    But it's not just the sea with me, it's also lakes and wide rivers and reservoirs etc. But the ''imagining a big scary monster under the surface'' bit definitely fits!

    Snakes...ugh

    Use to be so scared of the dark. Now I adore it. The darker the better.:glasses:

    How did you learn to like the dark?


    Its a ghost thing.... (long story which most people dont believe in anyway)
    but needless to say...I am no longer afraid of the dark. :bigsmile:

    Mice, which is weird because I have no problem with hamsters or rats but can't handle mice.

    Not so much the basement, but the basement *stairs.* One must bound up them so the zombies do not grab one's feet as one climbs. Basement stairs that are open between the risers? Forget it. Won't be going down them because going up will cause paralysis and/or death.

    ^^^^ You worded this absolutely perfectly! I'm great in the basement and could stay down there indefinitely, but once I hit the stairs all the hair on the back of my neck stands up.

    Spiders for sure, Daddy Long Legs don't really bother me they're easy to squash with your shoe but the hairy spiders or house spider types are creepy. Bats are kinda creepy just cuz you don't know if they are gonna swoop at you or not although I rarely see bats living in town in the country when I was growing up would see them every now and then. Really deep water cuz I never took swim lessons growing up and now as an adult I can just swim to keep above water and deep water freaks me out. I like fishing off a pier or things of that nature and pontoons aren't too bad they feel pretty safe but anytime being in real deep water or in a small boat or canoe freaks me out.

    I hear ya, pal. I was terrified of the dark when I was a kid, and my dad absolutely forbid us to have a night light. I'd have to beg to have the bathroom light left on.

    As an adult I'm ok in the house if it's dark, but it's just barely ok. I don't like it, especially when I'm alone. If I HAVE to take the dogs out at night, I make sure the motion-sensor light is set to stay on, and I stay right by it. Otherwise my husband is the one designated to take them out after dark.

    I also don't like basements, even when they're fully furnished. I don't know what caused me to be so afraid of them, but I just don't like them.


    I'm afraid of the dark and basements, too! For some reason, watching the walking dead has seemed to ease my fears a bit, though. I know.. I'm a wierdo haha
