So there ya have it! a list of random phobias. I find it incredibly interesting to see these and it makes me wonder: Why? Usually phobias are the consequence of an unfortunate relation or experience. It's strange, and very interesting.

And sorry about all that stuff in parenthesis. Those are all just thoughts that ran through my mind while typing that.

Until then, Happy Hallows Eve!
