Just thought I'd let you guys know how I got on....

With all these things I would have to fairly close to be scared but still I seem to torture myself with my imagination such as falling into the middle of a huge satellite dish etc.URGH!! Just the thought of it!  Im not sure about windmills but maybe ive not seen one big enough to scare me or been close to one whilst it was moving. I also dont like the huge letters of the Hollywood sign (or all the structure required behind each letter). Watched a film once where people were sat on the letters (Urgh!) Am I alone in all this or does anybody else understand where Im coming from? There must be a name for this phobia besides me just being a freak lol. omg im not alone! yes pilons are def freaky but im also scared of huge satellites, big gas tanks, large clock faces (like big ben).

Water towers are really eerie and I can see how that started things with you. I'm not scared of tall objects generally but I must admit that when in down town Chicago there is something unnerving about looking up and not being able to see the sky! No idea about the proper name for these phobias... That picture is horrile but apparently it’s a fake (thank goodness). Water towers are really eerie and I can see how that started things with you.
