Do you just have that one fear or superstition that you just can't shake? I have a few but here are some of the dumb ones.

Always scared I'll be driving on a dark road and then something will run across the road last second and I'll hit it. Nothing supernatural just I don't want to run some animal or somebody over.
I hear a lot of people share this one

I think my most ridiculous one is that mirrors freak me out, only if I'm not really using it though and I have to be in front of it. Basically if a bathroom has a giant mirror and I'm not using it and if I remember anything scary about mirrors I'll probably try to get out of there asap. Also I will not sleep if there is a mirror in the room and I can see it.

Stinkbugs.

So where I live, we have an aggressive, invasive species of stink bug (brown marmorated stink bug, for insect spergs) that hitched a ride from either China or Japan (can't remember which off the top of my head) around fifteen years ago. Since then, they've spread westward like the insect version of manifest destiny, ruining crops and scaring the shit out of me.

Why do they scare me? PULL ON UP FOR STORY TIME WITH BUMBLES.

Back in my freshman year of college, I went to a university that had renovated mansions serving as dorms. This meant that there were plenty of nooks and crannies for these little shits to get in. I had a suite with my roommate--about four windows total--and at any given moment, you wouldn't be able to open the window because hundreds of these smelly assholes piled up on the window.

That was enough to make me want to avoid them, but one day, I was laying in my bed and studying for a midterm, and a few stink bugs fell from the ceiling, one landing on my book (which I promptly slammed shut and threw across the room, because fuck you, cellular biology), one on my pillow, and one on my arm.

It's a dumb thing to have a phobia of, but I am legit terrified of them to this day.

Elevators.
I can ride them but they make me ridiculously nervous.

I used to be scared of spiders and (to a far lesser extent) mirrors but I managed to get over those.

I am terrified of at least one of the following:

- Dinosaurs
- Patterns of holes
- Birds
- Heights
 
I used to have the mirrors thing, and am surprised at anyone who was never afraid of mirrors.

It went away after I dropped acid and looked into a mirror for several hours.

The mirror thing went away.

I have no idea why. Mirrors should be terrifying.

I sort of still have that fear of showers? My Mom used to scare me in the shower when I wasn't looking and would grab me at random, successfully scaring me in the process - to this day I have to have something playing in the background like the tv so I don't get that eerie quiet feeling

Other than that I have a fear of the dark and heights
 
If I'm ever somewhere REALLY quiet I always get the eerie sensation something is following/watching me and I do whatever I have to do as quick as I fucking can and NOPE the fuck right out of there. I guess it's because I'm pretty sensitive to sound, or the unusual lack thereof. I can step out into the upstairs hall of a morning and know damn well if we've had a power cut longer than 20 minutes (we get short cuts a lot of the time because we're in a rural location) because my server fans aren't running and my UPS hasn't lasted the distance to keep the server going.

I'm terrified of snails. Some shitty kid tried to force-feed me one when I was really little and it fucked me up. I'm not nearly as afraid of slugs though, it's something about the shells that freaks me out.
 
WASPS. One got into my apple juice when I was like three and then I drank it. I freaked out so badly I forgot I could open my mouth and spit it out and it stung the shit out of me. Ever since then wasps have terrified me.
