We all have things that scare us enough to keep us awake at night.
A phobia, if you will.
Some of these are fairly common, be they somewhat trivial, such as heights, rodents, or the supernatural.
While others are on the more serious side, such as the possibility of your friends and families being in danger.
Others suffer from phobias which are anything but common.
Ridiculous as they may seem in the eyes of others, these phobias still send shivers up the spines of those who suffer from them, scaring them far more than a scary story or a turbulent flight.
Redditor NeZur was eager to hear the things that make the hairs on the backs of people's necks stand on end, leading them to ask:
