Bugs? Spiders? Snakes? Flying? Losing? Certain colors? Heights? Crowds? Your pants falling down in public? Death? Fear itself? What are you afraid of and why?
Black, shadowy, cloaked figures. For example, dementors from Harry Potter, ringwraiths from Lord of the Rings, The Reaper for the Elfstones of Shannara, the list goes on...
I had one really scary experience. I suddenly woke up, and I felt a chill come over me. Something tall, hooded, and cloaked stood in my doorway. I tried to yell out. I couldn't. I tried to move. I couldn't. The figure kept getting closer, closer, closer...
I woke up in a cold sweat, thoroughly shaken by my nightmare. I comforted myself by the fact that it was fake. However, when I tried to move, I couldn't. My entire body was somehow asleep. And I was lying on my back, staring at the door... I had to stay like that for five minutes before my body awoke. *shudders*
Either (this theory I came up with when I was little) if I realized that I've never really lived my life and I've been in a coma and none of what I've done is real, or an epidemic where dead people are everywhere and the world is barren, like on discovery channel. I am 100% FREAKING OUT just thinking about it. It has kept me up at night.
Probably my biggest fear is someone I love turning into a zombie, or exploding into one of those little buggers from resident evil. And then eating my face off. Or something. Being attacked by a zombiee while I was going to the bathroom, or asleep. I dunno..... And people ASK why I sleep heavily armed, and take a club to the bathroom? (By club I mean an old stick with some nails stuck in it)
um being in a submarine really deep the hull rupturing and not only drowning but being crushed by the pressure of being that deep... also being in those tunnels the vietnamese used back in the vietnam war srew that seriously no way
When I was younger, I never worried about monsters in the closet or under my bed, I was afraid of the monsters outside my window (they're scary even if they can't get you.) right now, I get skittish around large bugs.
