Spiders - but worse than that loud noises as my hearing is too accute. Phobia started when since a builder fired masonery bullits into the wall next to me at work one day with no warning. Everyone in the office levitated in the seats. :-S

I now carry ear plugs :-D

I love spiders :-D
Not too keen on heights, but used to be okay.
As a child in Mevagissey, we (local children) used to jump off the cliffs onto the beach (avoiding the rocks below). I only realised it may have been a bit dangerous when the coastguard helicopter came to rescue 2 climbers climbing the very cliff we jumped off!!
So, when I can afford it, I intend to go abseiling :-D

I couldn't go in a hot air ballon though

:-(

I think my greates phobia is self-opinionated A*seh*les!

The MOTH gets weird with (some) heights. I saw him stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon, while I stood a safe distance away! He says he trusts nature but not man-made, but he's fine climbing a ladder! We got in a gondola (the mountain type, not water), and his face went white when he saw how high we were going ~ so he sat on the floor, with his head under my coat. We got some funny looks :-D

Heights
Closed in spaces. I cannot get into a lift . MRI scanner gives me panic attacks.
I can also get agrophobic
Not much hope for me is there. :-(

I cannot go near an open loft hatch nor will I sleep in a room where there is a closed one. If I find the loo is situated where there is overhead ducting I am off out of there no matter how desperate I am :-(

hate anything with a tail that darts around , throw back to when I was a kid and we had problems with mice one time . could hear em scampering over head and was petrified they would come down the Victorian fireplace into the bedroom and get on me in bed

I hate spiral staircases especially in old house and buildings, stone ones like the one in York Minster, also ski lifts the ones you sit in.

I love birds but can't abide being in a room when someone lets their budgerigar or canary out. I get panicky if I think it's going to land on me :-( I'm not at all frightened of wild birds but when we had an aviary I couldn't go inside it.
