Arachnophobia: An abnormal and persistent fear of spiders. Sufferers from arachnophobia experience undue anxiety even though they realize the risk of encountering a spider and being harmed by it is small or nonexistent. They may avoid going barefoot and may be especially alert when taking showers or getting into and out of bed. This phobia was exploited in a 1990 movie called
Arachnophobia.
I am terribly terrified of spiders!! All spiders freak me out, even the baby spiders. Ever since I moved to my new house, I've seen plenty of spiders(big and small) around the house. E

specially in my room!! I am really paranoid and swear that they're out to get me. Just last Wednesday, I saw a big one on my dark jeans. Oh my gosh. That freaked me out so bad I wanted to burn that jeans! Yeah, I definitely have issues. And a few weeks ago, I saw a huge
hobo spider on the corner of my room's window. I wanted to ask my brother to kill it but it got away the next day...I wonder where it went. I hate when I just wake up early in the morning and the first thing I see is a creepy spider on the ceiling. *shivers*
