   I remember when I was young my parents
   kept a scary looking record cover called THE
   ROLLING SILENCE by Manfred Mann in
   the 1970's among their record collection.
   I would run away from the house or lock
   myself in my room when my parents would
   take the record cover out to show me.
   The cover is scary looking; it's a patina
   green color with a screaming mouth inside
   this giant ear.  My parents called it the
   Mouth in the Ear and would tease me saying
   that the Mouth and the Ear was gonna get me!
     I remember tackling my older sister to the
   ground one time because she was reaching
   for the album in the cabinet. She thought it
   was it funny that I was overeacting to just
   a stupid album cover, but I was in panic
   mode.
   Years ago I had my parents tear the
   album cover into shreds while I hid in my
   room.  I hope that they did!  Yeah, I know
   it seems crazy and silly, I am pretty much over
   the fear but every now and then it comes
   to my mind in the
   middle of the night BOO lol

      I have a real fear of Roller Coasters and feel if I go on one, something might go wrong with my head. Even as a kid, while all the other kids were happy and smiling on the little roller coasters, I was the only kid crying to my parents "I wanna get off".
      
      Watching Final Destination hasn't helped either.

   when I was a little girl, I used to be afraid to open my oldest brothers closet where the ouiga board was, then my mom moved it down into the basement... so I would get the creeps every time I went into the basement. I covered it and hid it under the stairs.

   The only thing I am fearful of is getting stuck in an elevator and the breaks giving out. I take the stairs most of the time but if I have to I suck it up and take the elevator.
   
   It's not a fear just being uncomfrotable with driving around big rigs, I hate when they are all around me, blocking me in so I can't get out around them.

      Yeah, I got stuck in a hospital elevator once when I was young, and ever since I've been nervous around them. I'd rather take an escalator or stairs. I can go in an elevator but I won't like it.

   Spiders!
   They have too many legs! Nothing should have that many legs! I can't even handle little money spiders...I shiver at the thought.

   Spiders are creepy, and I hate it when birds fly inside the house. I have no problem with them outside, but if they fly in the kitchen while I'm sitting there having lunch, I am under the table like a shot. Seriously. I don't want to get a bomb dropped on my sandwich.
   
   Snakes are terrifying too.

   well since you said irrational I have a fear of....HAIR- ok let me explain loose hair, clumped hair in a drain, hair balls on the floor, etc. When I was younger I use to pay my brother to clean my brushes out, and when he wanted to be mean he would chase me around the house with a handfull of hair.......Aaaagh! Lastly, bugs, all except Ladybugs and butterflies..... I know now you all must think I'm a freak!

   For some reason I fear heights like crazy but in a odd way. If I am in an airplane it really does not bother me at all. But if I am walking up open stairs you know those ones that are metal and you can see though I get up about 4 flights and I freeze up in most cases HAHAHA there my deep dark secret

   There was a hell of a funny scene years ago. Our friend's neighbour had a mole snake in their yard. So my brother went round there with a shovel, and I was given a bottle. This friend of ours, who was completely bonkers and drunk, said, "Get the snake's venom in the bottle." Mole snakes aren't venomous as far as I know.
   
   My brother ended up chopping the thing's head off with the shovel and throwing it in the bin, wrapped up in a plastic bag.
