We all have fears. You might be afraid of spiders, snakes…the dentist? One of the most common fears is achluophobia, the fear of darkness. How can you not be afraid of the dark? Imagine what might be lurking in the dark–just waiting to attack. But there are fears so strange, you can’t even imagine! Did you know that arachibutyrophobia means “fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth?” Well, you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.
Many people suffer from ogyphobia–fear of the bogeyman. And bogeymen have been known to hide under your bed, in the closet or in any shadowy place. On the other hand, if you’re afraid of ghosts, you could say that you have hasmophobia.
Halloween tends to bring out creepy creatures, and lots of people are scared of them. Eeek! If bats frighten you, then you might be a chiroptophobic. What about creatures that are not just creepy, they’re crawly, too? You’ve got herpetophobia.
And don’t forget phobophobia, the fear of phobias. Experience Thrillvania Haunted House Park and see what scares you…..
