What scares you the most? I am scared of snakes and spiders. I don’t know why, but I always have been. I don’t really know if these would be considered ‘strange’ fears, but that is about all that scares me. What are you afraid of?

For some unknown reason I'm scared of flying in planes... I don't know why sense I have never been in them before.. I think maybe once I have my fear of flying might go away, but I am also scared of it crashing in air or blowing up.. Like I said dunno why I have these fears, maybe it's because my mom has these fears that could of let me to the same thing?

I'm terrified of spiders - so bad I don't even like typing the word. I'm fine with snakes, kinda like them because they are known to eat what I mentioned prior. I'm also afraid of the dark, heights, and basements (weird there, high and low places).

I'm also afraid of snakes, but another creature I hate are eels 
. They are ugly water snake things and just creep me out, I hate going into aquariums or aquarium stores because it never fails that i will turn the corner and there's an eel in a tank right then, and because the stores are so cramped I feel trapped and claustrophobic and I freak out. There was a really bad time last year when I went into one store that had a whole aisle of eels 
. I really REALLY freaked out because I was deep in the store and went into the aisle not knowing that there were eels in the tanks, I felt like I was going to hyperventilate because everywhere I looked, there was an eel...and also because I knew how far it was to get out of the store and into fresh air....it was horrible .

I have an unusual phobia and I know it is unusual as I have searched the internet for a name of rit and also to see if I can find others with the same phobia but, none as of yet!!
I have a fear of swimming pool vents or grids so I don't go near them when in the pool and if there are too many I cannot get in the pool in the first place - it is really frustrating as I do love swimming but, what can I do!! x

I'm afraid of zombies. It's due to me watching too many gory zombie movies, now whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, I stare at myself in the mirror and always imagined that a person would run up to me from behind.
