Childhood Fears

[QueenBitch]

What childhood fears did you have or still have?

I'm still scared of all these now.

Clowns
Balloons
Cotton wool
Thunder
Bridges
Spiders
Snakes
Rats

I could go on but would be here all night, I'm pretty much scared of everything

Prepare to be amazed, I am scared of:

Spiders,
Hanging bodies (even on the tv, the opening sequence of Pirates of the Carribean 3 was unbearable!!!)
Llamas,
Morris Dancers,
Lifts (got stuck in one as a child so not really a phobia)
Bodies in the bath (again even on tv)


Think thats the main points

Freddy Kruger
Spiders

I've developed a very bad fear of hights since being a child, even as far as if something on the tv is at hight it makes me feel sick, strangly though I live on the 9th floor of a tower block.

Hanging Bodies and Bodies in the bath. What a strange fear! have you ever witnessed this in real life.

Bodies in the bath I just find freaky looking, in my house as a child the bath was behind the door so i'd have to go right in before I knew anything was there.

Hanging bodies I don't like the way their heads lollop and their eyes bulge (eg the hanging body in the new batman film is fine cos the rubber mask keeps the head upright and hides the eyes.

There was a man hung himself in the woods where I used to ride my horse, I didnt see it but the thought of finding someone petrified me, a body on the floor however I think I would have been able to deal with
