I have an insane fear of heights. I've never fallen from any major height but I can not even stand to see people on TV high up. More specifically, it's fear of being high up without any safety measures to protect you. Whenever I see that famous picture of the men on beams building the Empire State Building, I literally feel dizzy my stomach jumps into my throat and my heart starts to race as if I were actually standing up there.
I also have a fear of deep water. The thought that all that water is under me and anything could be down there just freaks me out. Not really sharks just "something". Did anyone ever see those movies where Judd Nelson is a killer and has a "garden" of bodies in the bottom of a lake? That's the kind of "something" that gets in my head, or possibly some undiscovered sea/lake creature.
Spiders, especially one's with thick bodies or are hairy, no matter how small. The thought of them crawling on my body gives me the heebie geebies. I hate waking up with a spider bite and knowing one was on me while I slept. They are facinating creatures, I just don't want one within 50 ft. of me unless it's in a closed tank, otherwise it's dead meat.
