Definitely keep your eyes closed as you speed on I-70 through Glenwood Canyon.
Serious disability. Lying down in a bed and people having to feed me and wash me and wipe me.... . No Thanks!
I googled I-70 through Glenwood Canyon. The photos even scared me!
Im scared of heights but that's a pretty normal phobia
My strange phobia is carnivorous plants (especially Fly Traps), just the idea of a plant eating something terrifies me.

I went out at lunch time to pick up the Japanese takeout. Someone was following me. So I ran down the street and and locked myself in the office. I must remember these feelings and put them to use in some constructive way. I feel like Doris in Fame after the meanies bullied her and Montgomery.
Theres a judge where i work who can be scary.... You really hope that he has remembered to sign his sentences because if not the sorry sack who has to phone or mail him to please sign is me and he don't like it and it shows. His whole stance seems to suggest it is the archives (my) fault that we have received it without signature. He'll retire in a year thank you very much. The other judges are more relaxed about it when i have to contact them about a thing like that.
Counting the days till he retires. Calming Vibes for you Kurben
You know that he's angry with himself for letting those get through but he's taking it out on you, right? Hang in there!
Okay, there's another thing now that the thread's been revived.
Long ago, I took testimony in a tragic case where a little kid was hit and killed. Well, I've taken testimony in thousands of cases, but for some reason, that one stuck.
Ever since then, I stick strictly to speed limits, or lower, in residential areas. Hypervigilant the whole time. Watchful for kids in yards, between cars, one foot in the street. I'll come to a dead stop to see what they're doing before I creep forward. The image-thought of bouncing a little one off my bumper is unbearable.

Oh, my! Yes, that is a terrifying thought. It's terrifying to think of being a parent in that situation, too.
How I wish your cautious nature would flow to so many drivers in my state. Everyday, in the news, one hears of a child being hit by a speeding vehicle. Driving is a privilege and vehicles can be deadly weapons. Thank you for be aware!
Any movie or book where someone gets turned into an animal, or turned to stone or a tree from a magical spell, always upset me greatly as a child, and I still find it upsetting. In the real world, what scares me about it is having my conscious self remain intact but trapped inside a body that can't move or communicate. So my greatest fear is getting a disease or a coma where I have "locked in syndrome" and I'm looking out of a useless body, unable to do anything about it.
Don't read The Tempest by Shakespeare.
In all seriousness, though, that is terrifying.
Things that fall into the Uncanny Valley, more creepy than terrifying
