1. Spiders & spider webs. Caused by growing up in the Arizona desert with black widow spiders. My job around the house was to go out after dark with a flashlight & flyswatter and kill every black widow. Now just touching a spider web unexpectedly makes me **JUMP**.
This is an odd phobia. I am not afraid of spiders or their webs unless I am surprised by them. I can hold tarantulas if I pick them up. I just can't touch anything without control.
2. Things that go bump in the night when I am home alone. But I have no problem with rural camping & backpacking where I hear coyotes, mountain lions, squirrels, bears, etc. all night.
