Inspired by the scary movie thread, I thought it would be good to see who else has irrational fears or phobias, or if I'm the only nut on the board.
As for mine- to quote Homer Simpson "I don't mean to alarm you but there is a boogey man or possibly boogie men in the house." Yep, I have boogie men in my basement. And I know where the fear comes from. When I was very young the guy who used to babysit for us would hide, we'd go looking for him, and he'd pop out of nowhere.
I even go so far as to keep a remote for the TV at the top of the stairs, because as we all know the boogie man can't get you as long as the TV is on.
