Ok my fear is dogs, my husband is petrified of frogs, this is a big problem as we have a garden pond so and breeding time of the year i'm forever being called into the garden to remove the offending creature, I rehome them in the brook near my sons home, now then what are your fears and who has the most unusual one

My husband's fear isn't that unusual, but I find myself in a similar situation to you. I'm constantly having to retrieve tools from the shed for him, because he's afraid of spiders. Recently a mouse got into our house, and he started shrieking over that. I suppose on the upside, I'm pretty brave about dealing with anything that crawls into the house. I can pick up enormouse spiders with my bare hands without a second thought now.

sturgeon - 10-foot sturgeon
I have a few. The biggest is my fear of heights.. my heart rate picks up, I feel lightheaded and I begin hyperventilating. My boyfriend works as a helicopter mechanic so last year he and a pilot took me up in one to help me get over the fear. It's still there, but lessened. Next step is skydiving. Ahh! I'm not sure how to class this fear but I fear what lurks beneath dark water. If I can't see what's below the surface I panic. I'm a strong swimmer, but I become paralyzed. This fear stems back to childhood when I watched Jaws and later that year had my dad's best friend describe a giant fish, which I now know is a sturgeon, to me. I was terrified to swim in the lake that summer.

Heights arn't a problem to me I absailed down the local unniversity here in the uk about 150ft so not too high for a first attempt I'm a good swimmer too and yes if i'm unable to touch the bottom i panic a little but its something i can cope with I usually just turn over and swim on my back untill i feel something under my feet again. The stergeon wow we have one in our pond its only a baby about 18 inches at present but if it ever gets to the size your uncle described wow i'll have to make the pond bigger or get rid of him thanks for the responce tc
