    Moths. I really hate moths. I still do, to a smaller extent today.

    Vampires, demons, the devil, hell, going to hell, committing sins bad enough to go to hell, authoritative figures, getting in trouble, murderers, rapists, natural disasters.

    I was just calmly scrolling up this page when suddenly that THING appeared. Chris, you are no longer my friend after pulling that stunt! Honestly...

    I don't think my parents (or anyone else around me, really) ever seriously talked about people going to hell. I'm kinda glad I didn't get such ideas put into me.

    Spiders & Centipedes - They have too many legs and they move fast!

    Top hats - Not sure why, but I think because they were just tall and strange looking.

    Carrot Top (the comedian) - He still scares me to this day and even more so now that he's all roided up.

    The tub drain and the toilet - I was all, will I be sucked down?

    Elderly people who tried to touch me - This sounds wrong, but that's not what I meant. Basically I had a fear of old women in particular old ladies giving me kisses with their teeth-less, drooling mouths. I've since gotten over this fear and just allowed for it to happen when necessary in family situations.

    Horror movies - This is obvious. I don't know why my parents let me watch things with Freddie Krueger, The Boogeyman, Chucky, or Leprachaun in them. Now that I'm older, a lot of those movies are funny to me -- especially the ones with Chucky.

    I don't remember this but I've been told it happened. Apparently when I was real young, one day we were in a Roy Rogers in the mall and I noticed a big Gumbi statue in the corner I guess. I stood up on my chair, pointed at it and started to scream in terror. I'm sure much to the embarrassment of my mother. lol.

    I remember for a short while when I was about seven or right I was rather scared of aliens. I don't think there was any particular reason for this, but I think I was worried by going bed and having my guard down. I'm not really sure that me being awake would have been much better at resisting aliens than me being asleep, but there you go.

    I think another thing I was scared of was - at a similar age - while getting towards the front of the queue at the Twilight Zone ride at Disney MGM Studios. I'd been on it before, but for some reason didn't want to go on it. I think my dad, having queued up with me for an absolute age was less than impressed by my sudden aversion to going on the ride. I did go on it in the end, and enjoyed it, but it's the only time I've genuinely not wanted to go on a ride of some kind.

    I also remember my mom watching Unsolved Mysteries every day, and I'd usually join her and fall into a nap. The only episode I stayed awake for (out of fright/paranoia lol) was this one about some woman ghost hitchhiker. For some reason it stayed with me and scared me more than most Are You Afraid of the Dark? episodes.

    I'd link a clip of it but I can't find it anywhere. D:

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.
