@Kjellm87:Depends on where you're from I guess. She's called mörkö in Finland, and the Groke or something in english. @Hay4z: She's from a cartoon show thing called Moomins that I used to watch when I was a kid. It was pretty awesome but "the Groke" used to scare the shit out of me. Like in this particular episode...

Ventriloquist dummies and strange looking dolls would send me running as a kid. Watching Child's Play when I was really young was probably what caused it.
Not very. Were you really afraid of water? I honestly don't understand that fear. It's been spiders for me my whole life. I hate 'em! "
Its sparse and unfathomably (PUN!) deep; its often very difficult to see below you and there is no edge or wall to back up on to.
Yes, the ocean is fucking terrifying.
Edit: I'm also not keen on spiders, but its not so much a fear any more.
I didn't think I was scared of heights until I actually looked down during a recent climb. The descent became a panicked scrabble for life after that...
" I was scared about the size of the universe. Funny thing to be scared of as a kid. I would spend nights thinking about how huge the universe was, and it terrified me. Another thing was the length of eternity. At that time I didn't know that the universe hadn't been around forever, so I was thinking about how long an eternal lifespan would last, and how horrible it would be to live for an infinite period of time. Not a billion years, not a trillion years - but FOREVER. I was about 9 years old at the time, and I don't really understand the existential dread that afflicted me. Now, I marvel at the size of the universe and I would jump at the chance for biological immortality. Maybe my 9 year old self was... wiser. "
DUDE! Are you talking about me? Exactly the same!

This, but I was in Kindergarten, but I guess that makes me about 5. Watching the Jetsons bothered me cause it would spark those thoughts.

I've never seen that show, so the build up to her appearance was quite tense. But 6:53 scared the shit out of me.
I used to have a recurring dream (from age 5 to 10) where I'd get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and there'd be a scary person behind the bathroom door wearing this old lady mask that was in our coat closet. I'd always wake up terrified, even though nothing happened after I closed the door and saw the person. That dream made me afraid of closing the door to our bathroom at night until I was in high school. It also made me deathly afraid of closed, opaque shower curtains for some reason. I'm still afraid of them unless there's obviously someone taking a shower.
Santa. I just couldn't believe that my parents would let a old fat guy come into our house and give us "Presents", for all they knew he could of molested one of us!
@Radar: It's a children s book!? It says to read it around a dark room with your friends. Nothings scarier than seeing the images. I can take hearing the story, but those images are burnt into my head.I borrowed that book and threw it in a dumpster. 5 blocks away. Most traumatizing You guys get the large pic!
I had a fear of getting crushed. The youngest of four children, my older siblings sat on me a lot, and I had a recurring dream in which a whale fell from the sky, and I was crushed.
In that dream, I actually started lifting up the whale until I gigantic sword also fell from the sky on top of the whale, which then brought me to my death. Being crushed is a horrible death, by the way.
well this applies for me now, but whenever i walk past someone at 1 in the morning, even when im in a pretty safe neighborhood, i just have a feeling that the person i walked past is gonna stab me...
the thought children played upon a mystery verse searching for a reason why they exist on this earth dark and eerie for that they become weary until light they do not peek hiding under a sweaty sheet
Being born and raised in a religious family whom instilled fear of Satan and his demons since childhood, I was terrified of 'them'! Every sound I heard at night (wind, rain, creaking of my own bed) I thought it was 'them'. Man, I prayed a lot in those days! I also was afraid of vomiting and spiders, fears I still have to this day.
Not really anything in particular scared me, but I was pretty prone to get spooked by pictures or movies which would linger for awhile.
Truth be told, I was looking at my older brother playing that Blair Witch game on pc once when I was younger, it showed a drawing of the witch and that image still scares the fuck out of me. I was so afraid to be in dark hallways, I imaged her ghost image to chase me etc...I'm scared again, shit. xD
Oh god, I shouldn't have googled to find the picture. Brb, trauma. ><
