Childhood fears?

[taph]

I know almost every little kid is afraid of the dark and monsters, that's a given.
Even so, what were you guys afraid of as a kid? Anything specific?

I for one had a bunch of ridiculous fears that when I think back on them, made no sense whatsoever.


Not even joking. At 7 years old, I had a legitimate crippling fear of the following:

Spoiler below!

-the dark/shadows (obviously.)
-fire
-volcanoes
-earthquakes
-tornadoes
-hurricanes
-tsunamis
-spiders (I hallucinated a huge tarantula running towards me once, and I ended up hitting my head on a door frame and passing out. 8C )
-pigs/boars
-aliens
-zombies
-missles/nukes
-ogres
-ghosts
-serial killers, Jeffery Dahmer in particular
-tapeworms and bot flies
-drowning
-the planets exploding
-meteors
-black holes
-other people
-cars

Please note that I love in suburban Pennsylvania. We don't have any natural disasters besides one small tornado every 20 years.
I don't even know how I knew what half of this stuff was. >:[
