So, what freaks you out?

[brandycr]

Zombies (yes I know they arent real)but I love horror flicks .Few years back lived way out in country and was about 12 at night and me and ex were driving home and car broke down in a little valley.Being summer that meant massive fog coming down from the mountian couldnt see like 5 feet in front of you pitch black sitting in the middle of no where car lights shining on nothing but fog and my mind goes to zombies.Not a good thought.

aliens...the ones referred to as "greys". They scare the crap out of me. Ever see the movie Communion? When that alien wraps it's long creepy fingers around the door and looks at Christopher Walken with it's big, black unblinking eyes...... *shudder*

Claustrophobic here.

I have a touch of that, along with agoraphobia. Keeping the panic circuits down on public transit can be a challenge.

Chickens!

When I was about 3 or so, we visited a family member in the country who had a neighbor with a big, mean ole rooster wandering about. He jumped me and gaffed me pretty good, even drew blood.

So now, here I am, at 6' - 3", 230 lbs, and toting a phobic fear of chickens! I can control the panicky, sweaty, heat-pounding reaction somewhat through purposeful desensitization over the years, but I still don't like 'e.

Sneaky little b@$!@*ds fi you ask me. Always out to get you.

We raised chickens when I was a kid. I was reaching in to get a hen off some eggs once and she pecked me in between the bones of the index and ring finger about 1/2 way up my hand. I still have no idea how she managed it. I had a bruise that spread to the entire back of my hand, and the family had chicken that night. (to my surprise I didn't get yelled at. Much.)

Oh and those Burger King comercials are just plain freaky. Imagine waking up with this staring at you in the morning, eh Erisianmonkey?

Worse, imagine a nightmare with that thing popping up at you from every corner that you can think of. Now make it one of those nightmares that just when you think you are up and out of it, it starts all over again because you didn't wake up from your dream, you woke up in it.

BTW- Grant, I really hope you don't have to imagine that. You deserve it for posting a picture of that thing.

P@nts, and take offs and landings, I hate not being in control of a vehicle I am in.

Big bridges, especially at height, but only when I am driving. It's worse if the traffic is bad, or I cannot see both ends, and the worst is the old ones with corrugated metal instead of a solid surface.

high Foot Bridges were a deadly fear of mine when i was a kid,
one day crossing a Bridge in Florida when i was 6 or 7, my father
gave me one of those grab you by the shoulders from behind & yell
"LOOK OUT"
and i was terrified to walk across a high bridge until i was 20,
when i stood, walked and ran around in the center of the bridge over Lakeshore between the CNE Grounds and Ontario Place till the fear was gone.
to face a fear is the only way to be rid of it.

meeeph....
I've been dead.
It's not a big deal really.

and I'm not kidding,
i was dead for just over 5 minutes on September 29, 1988.

[LK-13]

my biggest fear,
and the only one i can think of just now is being alone for the rest of my life.
I've had some rotten luck romantically and it's created some huge trust issues.
because of this I've been single since June 1993.
yes that's right, single for 17 years.

I thought myself a pretty much fearless man until a dozen years ago when I discovered, on a fairway ride, that the sensation of weightlessness absolutely paralyzed me with fear.

Hmmm...

Skeletons. Started when I saw a pic of a skull that had been smashed in the eye socket area on the subscription coupon page of the May '79 National Geographic. Ever since then, I've been queasy about'em. Enough that I didn't want to go through the Dinosaur exhibit on the 4th floor of the Museum of Natural History in New York...

Also have a slight case of agoraphobia... Don't like being on ladders that are too high up. That said, I climb on ladders to change light bulbs, etc, whilst kilted.
