Stupid people scare the hell out of me. They are dangerous. And frequently toxic. Do I fear them? NO.  I do avoid them no matter what.

Haunted houses are a myth, IMHO.  No fear. 

Spiders.  I love them.  While I may not invite them into my home, when I see one inside my home, I lovingly and gently capture it and take it outside. Never will I ever kill a spider.

Not exactly fearful but approaching ActiveRain on a regular basis can cause a bit of trepidation to "set in" at times for all sorts of reasons.

Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

In the immortal words of Mad Dog Mattis:
I don't get headaches, I give them.

I can clear a house or pull etheric cords out by the roots.

Spiders are not around me.

When I see crazy coming, I cross the street.

So that leaves snowbirds and politicians. LOL

HI Joan- if you're talking about a Halloween Haunted House...no. And I think I've had a passing meeting of a ghost or two. I have other things that scare me but only momentarily.

Spiders are annoying but not scary. We don't have a problem with scary spiders around here.

Actully I'm afraid of everything. It is sometimes hard to tell what going to go south. Even if you know its going to hurt, the outcome unsure, you press forward.
High places immobilze me the most.
Snakes of all kinds spiders, wild animals...not to much. I've run by many agitated rattlesnakes.
Rescued a cat Saturday in a perilous situation created by the lady one cat short of crazy. Knew I was going to get bit and scratched but if I did not pull it out the gate was going to harm it perhaps fatally. Put on the glove, it filled with blood, did not even get a thank-you. Oh well.
That is one of the reasons I run such aweful distances, I know it going to hurt, but the fear is not going to control me. I've become more reliant on ice baths to keep the body pliable in the hours after bludgening my feet for 15 miles.
Deep inside my greatest fear follows the breast exam.
