Rebecca that is so odd that you mentioned aliens. I used to be afraid of the dark when I was younger. Even after I got married I would drive around until my hubby got home or drive to town, because I was afraid to be alone while it was dark. The reason being.........When my mother, younger brother, and I came home from a grade school PTA meeting, my brother and I were playing in the front yard while Mom was talking in the car with the lady who brought us home. My brother and I saw this huge, lights flashing oval object just above our neighbors house and it was humming. We ran to Mom and she and the lady heard the humming, but didn't see the oval object. It was probably twice the size of a ranch style house. I'll never forget it. Now I'm not afraid. To tell ya the truth, it just wore me out being afraid and never being able to be here at my own house alone.

I can't go any place like tourist places that have birds running around, any kind of BIRD, ducks, geese...even the fake ones. It's a horrible fear.

I can't even mow our yard anymore because of the tree/barn swallows. I know logically they are eating bugs, but they swoop and dive at me and I just can't stand it. Even if I see a dead one I'll hop off the mower and let it keep going.

I've never wanted my son to be afraid so I do have hummingbird and finch feeders hanging outside. Long as they are out and I'm in it's not too bad. I just hate their eye, feet and beak and wings...well I guess pretty much the whole bird.
gotta love fried chicken!!!!! it's your revenge on those mean ol birds for scaring you so bad!!!

Funny enough I do love fried chicken, but only certain pieces and not be thinking of it as a chicken or I'll puke!!

I sleep with every light off. The way I feel is I don't want an intruder to be able to see where he's going and I know where everything is in my house, including my S&W 38.

snakes, terribly afraid. My husband made me go in the snake exhibit at the zoo & I freaked out. I stood in the middle of the room & tried to act like I wasn't having a panic attack (i totally was) after about a minute I bolted.

Being in a bathroom in the dark (I blame candyman, IT, & mothman profecies)

Being outside in the dark

Thunderstorms, especially if I'm home alone at night

Creepy little kids in movies (I can't even watch the commercial for the grudge)

Being in large crowds of people (such as the pit at concerts) very scary, I don't like that this crowd of strangers is controlling my moments (again panic attack insues)

I don't like bugs or spiders, but I can deal with them. (However spiders in the shower do freak me out)

Movies with bad ghosts aren't good either

Im very scared of the dark! I sleep with my closet light on so that I can see. We also sleep with the bedroom door closed and locked. When we sleep with the door open I wake my hubby up all through the night bc I here noises! He got tired of that and started locking the door!

Heights, getting burned, and bats are my fears.
I can't even stand to see someone else up on a ladder... it physically hurts in my shins!
If a bat gets in the house I am a screaming, running mess. I used to make my Dad drive 8 miles to come kill them for me when I was living in an old farm house where they got in frequently (my hubby was working nights). I just lose all sense of reason around them.

Burns are my most extreme fear. I was burned badly on my arm as a toddler and it seems I've never gotten over it. I'd rather be eaten by a shark than burned.

I am afraid of tight places. Like the back seats of cars. I can't stand to ride in the back seat of a car. MRI's I can't do. That's my fobia.

MICE!!! They freak me out!!! And rats, oh man don't even wanna think of them, something about them think it's the tails, dunno ewwwww
I'm scared of the dark, if i need the bathroom during the night i wake my husband up, he has to go with me.
Since we live in this house, i'm better with going to the bathroom, there's always the outside light shining in the hallway, so i focus on that.
Scary movies i can't watch them, i don't sleep if i do.
