    Fire - I can't even light candles or be near them without freaking out.

    Thunder & Lightning - a thunderbolt hit near my house when I was a kid and I'll never forget the sound nor the flash.

    Earthquakes - been through MANY, large and small. They still freak me out.

    Tarantulas, they really creep me out. Other spiders I'm still nervous about but the tarantulas give me the creepy crawlies.

    Also I have a big problem with heights, I really don't like ladders or even standing on a chair to change a light bulb. Really high things absolutely terrify me like to the point of not being able to move and feeling like I might hyperventilate.

    The other thing that really freaks me out is deep bodies of water that I've never been in before. It's not the water that freaks me out, it's what might be living in the water, think creature of the black lagoon. Once I swim in it once without being eaten then I'm fine, but the first time I am terrified.

    I am scared of needles. I have low blood pressure and thin veins, so when they need to get blood samples or put an IV in, it is always a huge production. Last time I was in the hospital for a knee operation, it took 3 nurses to get the drip in.

    I feel an anxiety attack coming on just thinking about it.

    Pretty much same here. In Greece, I went up in a parachute attatched to a speedboat and it was great, but I could NEVER in a million years go sky-diving or bungee jumping or anything. *shudders*

    Also, tornadoes give me the creeps. I don't know why, seeing as I've never actually seen one in real life before, but if I see one on TV I usually hold onto something tightly and make sure the door is open so I can make a quick getaway if need be

    LICHTNING!!!! I once saw a lightning hit a factory near our house; since then I am even more scared!!

    STOPPING ELEVATORS!!! As I suffer from a light form of claustrofobia, I am always nervouse and scared in an elevator. But as our lives is full of those "things", I try to ignore that panic I feel. But some years ago, I was in a rather small elevator together with my hubby and both kids, when the elevator suddenly stopped between two florrs . I panicked and started tp scream my head off! My hubby shook me and took my head in his hands to calm me down. Luckily, the elevator started moving again after 3 minutes. Those were the longest 3 minutes of my lofe

    SPYDERS !! No matter how big or small they are, they scare the hell out of me!!

    My biggest fear is new people or people I hardly know. I also hate groups and crouds.
    Hospitals and doctors offices totally freak me out. I black out at the sight of blood. I'm not afraid of sewing neadles and such, but medical needles freak me out. My biggest fear is new people.

    Fear of Falling! I always have been afraid of falling from great heights. Ever since my accident, I have been afraid to walk across the room without using my walker.

    Also fear of spiders. However, I will not kill one if I have to climb to do so. Because my fear of falling is worse then the fear of the spider.

    Oh my goddess, Lut you're right on the dot!

    Getting stuck in elevators are such a big one for me, too, I don't know how I forgot about it. If you've ever been to the Grand Canyon Caverns, then you'd be in the freakiest one, ever. It goes some thing like three hundred feet under ground and you get to tour and they turn out all the lights at one point. They have a perfectly preserved cat, (I forgot what kind it was) that had died a long time ago, because it died on a big slab of limestone (that's what they said). It was very interesting but I don't know if I'd ever do it again. You can see through all the cracks of the elevator and it's creaky. Very creepy.

    My biggest fear is of the dark!!!

    I cannot even begin to describe my fear of the dark. When, I'm at a sleepover or something and with someone I know and trust in a dark room, I can careless, but when I'm alone!! Omg, I cannot be alone in the dark, I always have a light on when I go to sleep.

    I sort of have a fear of sharks and alligators to. Not to much sharks, but alligators. I hate going by lakes in florida for this reason. I cannot go by a lake alone in florida or I totally freak out. I once saw a fish in the water and my first thought was "ALLIGATOR!" I totally freaked out and ran away. I was so embarrased but that fish was pretty big.

    I also hate scary movies/shows. I cannot stand them. I sometimes think things like this happen and it could happen to me or someone in my family. I get all freaked out and I ALWAYS go to my bedroom when my parents watch CSI and coldcase. The scariest movie I probably have ever watched is POTC 2 and thats not even scary. I do watch the movies called "Scary movie" lol I love those because they make fun of my least favorite movies.

    Wasps (Yellow Jackets). I am highly allergic to their stings and just panic when they come near me. I also have a fear of being in water (swim like a stone) although I love being near water (strange).
