Oh my god.. I was cwondering what the fear of Pylons was called but i came across this site! I NEVER ever thought I would meet other people scared of pylons!

I am so scared of them it’s unreal.. especialy the ones that turn a corner.. i have to walk past 1 to work every cday and what makes it worse is that I have to look the other way and it open out into a massive field uhhit’s just horrible I cant even explain!

I know what every1 means about the winmills and things like that. I sanyone also scared of those massive metal things that plunge in2 the sea.. Omg they scare me too!

But I say get differnt pylons.. ones that aren’t every where lol!!

Glad im not the onlt one wit this weird fear!!!!
Dont feel so odd!

Oh my goodness thank god I am not alone. I too have the most terribe fear of windmills and thought I was going crazy! I have spent the whole weekend trying to google this and find out if anybody else had the same probelm as me. I too live in Brighton. I think this is only a recent fear for me but thankfully I do not pass too many. It was only the other week when I had to drive down Mill Road and I saw the windmill on the lefthand side in my vision. I panicked and felt sick and had to get past it as quickly as I could even though I had a distinct urge to keep looking at it whilst driving! Then the other day I had to drive past the Rottingdean Windmill, well it was the worst windmill I have ever seen, big ugly scary black, sinister and massive sails. There must be a psychological reason for this!! maybe we should all meet up and conquer this together, the thought of standing near one though makes me feel sick and feint!
I am so glad I am not alone…..Emma

I have to see quickly tho that after seeing Rottingdean Windmill (how strange, I don’t even like looking at or typing the word ‘windmill’) whilst travelling away from it a bit further down the road I had a delayed panic attack……you would think I would learn by now!

Exactly (regarding Rottingdean)!! The worst thing is it’s on the coastal road coming out of Brighton towards Peacehaven/Newhaven and it is on a golf course - no trees, no bushes, nothing, just an expanse of space and that big black horror in the middle of it against the sky……and on the other side is the edge of the cliffs and then the sea….so it’s literally the biggest thing around…….horrible!! I wouldn’t get out of the car - my other half had to take the photo!

I’m making up an album of photo’s on my facebook page devoted to all the windmills I’ve visited in the UK. I’m determined to visit all of them even tho I hate them! One of the worst I’ve seen (apart from Rottingdean) is the one at Diss in Norfolk, it’s huge!!!! I’m gonna try to get to see Sibley Arms mill in Lincolnshire too…..it is huge, black and has 8 sails!!!*shudders*

I just googled that windmill at Rottingdean and it is officially the ugliest one I have ever seen and it’s completely black. It’s horrible, cringe!!!

I don’t know how you physically managed to stand that close, I don’t think my legs would have let me! I feel the same as you though, they freak me out so much but I would still actively seek them out… I have no idea why. It’s a very unusaul reaction to a phobia…

I just came back from my hols in sunny West Sussex and visited 4 windmills…..yes 4!!! Still put the willies up me like nothing else but I have this morbid obsession with seeking them out. I walked right beneath the sails of one which were literally inches above my head (Selsey Mill) and it completely freaked me out.

I even took a detour on the way home and visited the windmill at Rottingdean (nr Brighton) which is, I suspect, the windmill that started my phobia off 36 years ago!!! Nasty nasty nasty bugger that it is!!!

But I think I was extremely brave! Still hate them tho :o)
