AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!
BoogieMonster runs around the room screaming.
Here are some weird phobias I found…
Standing upright- Basistasiphobia or Basostasophobia. - I know a lot of workers and teenagers who suffer from this one.
Ugliness- Cacophobia.
Thinking- Phronemophobia - also know some people who suffer from this - creationists, politicians, celebrities and Julius Malema
Spirits- Pneumatiphobia - I’m not sure if this refers to ghosts or alchohol
Shadows- Sciophobia or Sciaphobia.
Pointed objects- Aichmophobia. - I wonder if there’s an opposite one, fear of blunt objects?
Chickens- Alektorophobia.- I can’t imagine anyone cowering in a corner because they’re terrified of chickens.
Crosses or the crucifix- Staurophobia.- that explains why vampires cower when they see one, or is it because they’re really afraid of bullshit?
Purple, color- Porphyrophobia.
Knowledge- Gnosiophobia or Epistemophobia.- see thinking.
Ha! The scary listpeople left out cyberkatalogophobia, the fear of computerized lists! I’m a sufferer, you know… >:D
