Are you creeped out by something benign..something like clowns? Teletubbies?

Seaweed. Freaks me right the heck out. I don't even know the proper name for it--it's not seaweed when it's in a freshwater lake, is it?

Needles and surgery. I hate getting shots, and watching someone else get a shot makes me sick to my stomach. Especially if it's on TV. I can watch the bloodiest, sickest, most violent horror movie, but turn on ER and I have to leave the room. It hink it's the depiction of something that is true to life vs. over the top gore.

Nope, it's river weed, but it's still something slimy grasping your ankle. I used to be bothered by that, too.

Clowns. Ugh. Shudder. Can't stand those creepy bastards.

I know of a person that has a fear of Ketchup.....I however suffer from the fear of crowds when I am alone and the fear of things on my neck, however for the second one I will tend to try to stay calm and explain to the person that is doing the touching or placing of things on my neck.

Henry and I had a mutual friend who was afraid of clowns - but he had a pretty definable reason. When he was little he had stuck something metal into an electrical outlet, and while he was taking the jolt he ended up looking straight at a clown doll in the room with him.

He also (said he) couldn't turn left while under a shower - only right. None of us knew what was up with that.

teletubbies, yes, definitely.

I had a friend who was afraid of spoons. Terrified. He was afraid that, while gesticulating, someone was going to accidently get the spoon in his eye-socket, behind his eye, and scoop it out.

Weird guy.

Him too? And you thought this eyepatch was for show. . .

I'm a little freaked out by clowns, but what really scares me are people on stilts. My wife laughs her butt off whenever some guy on stilts walks by at a circus or carnival, and I take off at a run.

Now that I think about it. I'm pretty nervous around all carnie folk in general.

Obviously, Torm isn't creeped out by anything..... being a god and all.....

As for me, I hate needles (as do a friend of mine), stuff tight around my neck, teletubbies, barney the evil demonic dinosaur, bees and hornets (need to fireball a nest in a tree in the front yard!), heights (especially when being picked up unawares- same friend has the same fear).
