Bananaphobia: woman terrified for 20 years

Oh goodness,I was extremely tempted to make a dirty joke,but thought better of it.Must control myself

No, the guy that is afraid of being shot with his own shotgun by a spider in his kitchen in the middle of the night is the strangest.

LOL! Wtf Paranormalcy!!

I didn't mean to hijack the thread, but here's a link to a Facebook post, as well as the original post I think. http://www.unusualphobias.com/dogandspider.html http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/Top-25-Wierdest-Phobias/189772604380817?v=info Hypnotherapy seems to continue to show signs of progress in some therapeutic and clinical functions at least, even if helping with recall is definitely not one of the things one should rely on vitally, unless there is just absolutely no other way.

I know what Freud would say about this

Why did this get a thread?It should have been included in the strangest phobias thread.

Why did this get a thread?It should have been included in the strangest phobias thread. This got a thread because it was posted before the strangest phobias thread. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=209239 Also this one (Bananaphobia) is a news article about a specific person and how she's come to deal with her phobia. The other one (13 Phobias You've Probably Never Heard Of) is not.
