This is a question Phobias

What gives you the heebie-jeebies?

It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*

Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

Slighty unusual perhaps...
Other than the fairly common arachnophobia (I'm terrified of anything spider-like including plastic toy spiders, and even a fluffy stuffed cat-toy spider a friend of mine has), I have a couple of weird phobias:

1) People on stilts. This may stem from associating scary clowns with stilts.

2) I have a strange form of batophobia (fear of high buildings), but it's a very specific type of tall building that scares me. Clock towers. When I was a kid, my evil stepfather would use the 'scary church car park' in Halifax (also known as the Parish Church car park), and park the car as near to the clock tower as possible just so I'd freak out. But then, he's a right bastard.

Oh, and I guess...
3) People on stilts at the top of clock towers holding spiders.
