Basements, maggots, and the like
ever since I was a child I've been petrified of the basement in my parents house. Every time I go down there I have to turn on all the lights, and when I'm done with whatever I'm doing down there I run back up the stairs, afraid that something/ someone is chasing me. I also have a terrible fear of maggots/ larvae. I can't look at them, they are vile and horrible creatures. Once I saw one in the soil when I was in the country and I ran away screaming and shaking. This has been a subject of many a joke at my expense.
