For me it's Bee's, spiders, fear of being alone, and even zombies. As fake as they are, they haunt my dreams.
i don't know the scientific name but I have a fear of going over bridges. When I was a kid we used to have to go over a one lane bridge over a river and along side the bridge was a train tressle, when a train would come over at the same time we were crossing my dad would tease that the bridge was going to fall down. That has stayed with me forever.
Agoraphobia...Thats the fear of going into big open places or being around many people. I think this one is fairly common.
I have a weird phobia myself...I'm scared of empty pools..I can swim and love to swim in them when they have water in them but when they are drained it just freaks me out for some reason. I'm not sure what the scientific name for it is.
social phobia, or social anxiety disorder and agorophobia
claustrophobia fear of being in small places
