My greatest fear is probably leeches. I think it makes me fearful because I don't like how it eats me alive. I've had to go to a lake and a guy had a couple on his back. I didn't do anything about it though.

My greatest fear is snakes. They are disgusting! They have no arms or legs and they have scales. They are pretty much the devil… I’ve had an encounter with snakes when I was younger my cousin and his friends chased me with snakes at a campground…Also when floating the river they slither up onto my boat and it’s so disgusting… I about have a heart attack.

I’m afraid of Mr. Paces big muscular arms. At anytime they could strike and I wouldn’t stand a chance. I encounter this fear everyday at school during English class. I don’t know how much longer I can stand it.

My biggest fears are dams and forgetting. Last summer my family and I toured a dam in northern Idaho with a convention. I hated it and it made my fear worse.

If you’re scared of spiders does that mean you’re scared of octopus’s since they both have 8 legs.

My greatest fear is heights. When I look over the edge I get a spinning feeling and start to feel light headed.

My biggest fear is deep bodies of water. I have no idea why I don't like deep water but I always feel like something is off whenever I am on a boat.

My biggest fear is not the dark but what is in the dark. You never know what could be lurking in the darkness. As well as heights a little mainly just looking over a ledge and having the feeling that I could fall off.

My biggest fear is snakes and the reason is because they look so weird and slither weird. I've encountered lots if them and never had a good experience.

My biggest fear is falling to my death. I have never encountered this but just wondering what the feeling would be like knowing you are going to die but can't do anything about it would suck.
