hope the crash course on abandoned disney water parks was fun for u, also it’s not on lake buena vista, im just tired. lake buena vista is the name of the area, the exact lake is bay lake Oopsies!
its not dumb that you have that fear, in 2020 i was petrified,i couldnt get out of bed( i was scared of the world getting deystroyed and crumpling then i got scared of a tornado coming to get me(we live in australia)love your channel and how realistic it is.
Recently, the fear that's been on my mind is uncanny valley stuff. With the makeup trend online right now it just. Ugh. Freaks me out of the evolutionary implications that we evolved to be scared of humanoid shaped things that aren't quite human cause like. What is out there that demands that type of evolutionary fear?!
I don’t have many fears,I actually adore many “common fears”. I love animatronics,I love snakes,spiders,and absolutely adore unsettling things like the Disney stuff you talked about. I could go on a tangent about how much I love abandoned places and urban expo. I even listen to horror stories to fall asleep very often because I find them interesting. But the one thing that absolutely gets me and makes me so insanely paranoid is police sketches. They make my skin just absolutely crawl and everytime I see them I feel the need to watch my back. I don’t know how to explain why I hate them so much. Uncanny stuff generally doesn’t get me but god those do.
I don't have submechanophobia, but that brain eating amoeba terrifies me. I go swimming often in the ocean, and when you look in the water and see nothing, its really scary until you stick your head back up. your fear of the water park seems extremely valid to me. also the alligators and the rotting rides. horrifying, im now scared of it too :')
YOU GET IT!!! i think about river country and discovery island all the time and it makes me SICK!!! its so scary!! i thought i was the only one!! abandoned places in general freak me out (in a fun way like a horror movie) but for some reason those two places in particular make me nauseous.
One time I heard about toolbox killers. They use toolboxes full of hammers, axes, nails, etc. just to torture you. A lot of them will make sure to keep you alive because they enjoy seeing your fear, pain, and suffering. I couldn't imagine this happening to me. I am so sensitive to pain and that thought just sends shivers down my spine.
My skin is CRAWLING just hearing you take abt this bc I have the exact same fear, which started bc I was on that same boat 6 or 7 years ago and rode past river country and that abandoned island. My palms start getting sweaty and I just cannot even think abt the animatronics and stuff in the water park without gagging. I’m so surprised to hear someone else has the exact same fear as me down to the exact circumstances😭
I kinda have a similar fear of sunken things, mostly I am scared of more things of being alone in the middle of the ocean knowing there is hundred on feet of water underneath me with stuff I don't even know what is, or what even is down there. I also get scared of things that aren't supposed to be in the water, like weird creatures, you can probably just look up weird ocean creatures, and I know it is fake but it always makes me feel weird. Two of my other fears are heights and being alone. I forgot the scientific names for them but yeah. I have gotten a lot better with heights, they just make me feel dizzy and I also overthink everything which makes me horrified. Then being alone, not in a relationship, but being the only person on Earth, it more of the thought that I would have no one, nothing, and just nothing to live for really that scares me. Loved the video!❤
i love these videos so much especially with stories like this 😩 ok but i am EXTREMELY afraid of wind turbines. like the big tall things with huge propellers in rural areas (not the windmills, but they give me the creeps too) ESPECIALLY when they’re in the ocean. i cannot omg they make me wanna puke and cry, same thing for those really really really big flags that are way up in the air i CAN’TTT like what if it falls and you suffocate in that huge thing because it’ll be even bigger when you see it down low??? and everyone thinks i’m so weird i cannot explain
thats so specific but i get it omg😭😭 i live in west virginia and there are a LOT of windmills around here especially on the mountains. the particular area i can think of is in randolph county near one of the four lane exits and you can see them really well and its just. a HUGE line of them on a mountain. younger me used to be TERRIFIED of driving through there because i thought they were gonna fall and cut our car in half☠️
@@moonriverzzz omg i live in virginia that’s cool we’re neighbors 😎 that is TERRIFYING i can’t like they’re actually so huge just up there held in the air by a pole??? it gives me unsettling chills 😭😭
I have emetophobia too, it’s very extreme for me. Someone can say they feel like they’re going to get sick and I’ll start shaking and I have to leave the room to be able to stop shaking.
I work at Camp Orchard Hill in Dallas, PA. So we have a lake on the camp property where kids can fish, go boating, and go on the “blob”, you can look that one up. So one time my campers dared me to go on the blob (which ofc I did bc I didn’t want to seem like a baby). Side note- the lake water obviously has TONS of bacteria in it. So I land in the lake and water shoots straight up my nose. I got a severe sinus infection and strep throat from this. We also had one girl accidentally swallow lake water- she got an intestinal infection and was hospitalized for 5 days. That is why I’m scared of lakes and will NEVER go in them again😭
so this is a really stupid and specific fear to have 😭 but idk if you’ve seen maze runner but they have 2 people who run into the maze everyday called runners and they have to come back before a certain time before the maze will close for the night and after the walls of the maze close the maze starts changing and these monster things come out and hunt you scared me so bad but the thing that sent me over the edge was I’ve always done track i’m a very good runner my mom said if you were there they would have you be a runner and that scared me so much because I was terrified I would get trapped or get lost in the maze and that sat with me for years
Lord, not all the way through the video, I also have this fear, started with me thinking with it was a fear of bodies of water too. There’s an abandoned mall that I watched a video of where the underground floor is sunken underwater. If you go into the stairwell, you can see the flooded stairs, It absolutely tore me apart. It’s such an adrenaline rush when I look at it though, LOL. It’s so strange.
I have lilapsophobia (fear of tornados, and hurricanes, but I do not live anywhere near hurricane weather areas) idk why I have this but every time there is a tornado watch in my area I have a mini panic attack. Also tornado sirens scare the heck out of me. Every time I hear one I feel like I’m going to die right then and there. I can’t even explain the feeling I get when I hear one. Anyways, I love your channel Amelia ❤🫶🏻
I’m also afraid of abandoned places. And it’s almost not really a fear, it just makes me feel so uncomfortable and so strange and soooo creeped out. I hate seeing deteriorating things. But I also love learning about abandoned places, but it makes me so unsettled! Idk man. It’s odd and I hate it so much.
More about River Country: Sadly in 2016 the one chlorinated kidney shape swimming hole/pool was cemented in, and in 2018 the rest of the park was flattened for the future which at the time was a project that would be a resort in place of the water park. Said resort would be called reflections and based around Pocahontas, and Bambi with a water front view and a restaurant facing the lake attach to the resort. But in 2020 when COVID-19 started and made a decline in revenue for the parks the concept was put on indefinite pause to this day. There is video essays if you want more about it.
I’m terrified of spiders! Last week we were in holiday and the house had a pool and when we got in there were like more than 10 spiders! Anyway we take the spiders out and get on with it and I’m just swimming and this fat spider is right in front of my face so I scream my brothers name and start swimming faster than I’d ever swam before. A few minutes later we get out bc I’d already been in the pool for a while and my little cousin had these pool shoes but she needed help to put them on bc they were wet. They felt kinda cold so I decided to quickly dip them on the pool. So I walk over to the pool and dip the shoe in and then I look down. On the wall of this pool there was a huge spider (it literally looked like it had fangs) I jumped back and screamed! My brother was on the other side of the pool and he laughed and said did u find another one. I was literally so scared that I could barely talk and I was literally shaking! That night I got like 1 hour of sleep bc I kept thinking abt the spiders. The next day we were going on the pool again and I literally stood outside the pool for like 15 minutes CRYING! After I had spent the last 30 minutes crying inside. There is actually something seriously wrong with me 😂😭
I have agoraphobia. When it’s a super sunny day out with no clouds, it’s unnerving. Idk why, I guess it’s because the sky just look so big like I’m about to fall into it lmao. Edit: Also I think the root cause of your fear is that you see something that was left to rot away and get all gross looking.
Ok thanks for sharing a phobia with me that I now know I have. I have a fear that when I leave a room something is chasing me and I have to run as fast as possible to a room of people or my bed and jump in. It just feels like something’s always watching me. But then again there’s the man in the attic and the ghost that watches you so maybe that explains it.
Hi I have a fear of the dark and I hate roller coasters except for a few by the way I'm 14 also odd coloured things scare me and every time I feel sick I either fear I've been poisoned or fear I have a disease of some sort
when i was younger i would WAYYYY overthink about humans and the fact other people are around me and for some reason i would just be terrified of other people? its super hard to explain. unstable floors make me really uncomfortable. especially floors that arent supposed to be unstable. i hate it so much. I think I gained a phobia watching this
My weird phobia was automatic toilets, lol. When I was three, I used one, and it flushed on me, and I hated them ever since. For the longest time, I wouldn't use them. I would rather have peed my pants. They are so freaking loud, and the fact that they could flush on their own just scared me. I'm over it now because I had to use them in middle school. But still, I prefer not using them. Lol
omg no way finally someone that understands my fear of anamatronics/manmade things underwater 😭 speficily the hippos from the jungle cruse ride fill my nightmares
I love telling people my phobia because of the reactions, people think I'm joking but I have a massive fear/phobia of sponges 💀 They just creep the living day lights out me , idk why they just do HAHA Anyways thanks for the video, it was nice listening to while I study for my exam today 💙✨
OMG NO BUT SAME I HATE GOING ON WATER RIDED WITH ANIMATRONICS IN THE WATER! I HATE IT! 8:58 girl. No actually like this just explained my whole phobia. Thank you 😭
I don’t know what the phobia is called, but I have a fear of submerged things. Logs, boulders , seaweed, man made objects, ect. If it’s in the water, I freak. What’s even more strange is that if you were to pull said objects out of the water and let them dry, I wouldn’t be afraid anymore. A fun phobia for someone who loves swimming and paddle boarding. (Also, I live in Michigan so I don’t have fears of man eating creatures in the water thankfully)
I love watching these, they just feel so relatable, its just calming to listen to. Keep making theese! Edit: Alright, now i watched the video and now i'm terrified of disneyland. :I. Well, i thought i didnt have any specific phobia but apparently now i do- Great!
Well, my fear isn't as abnormal as Amelia’s but I am petrified of clowns. I remember watching my brother play a Batman game (I don't remember which one because I refuse to go anywhere near them 👹) and the SECOND the Joker appeared on the screen I screamed and ran out of the room 😎 I think I might’ve been 7..? I thought that maybe it was just the fictional character I was scared of but then killer clowns started popping up and the idea of them scared the heck out of me 😭 I didn't even like sitting downstairs when my mum watched the news on the off chance that they’d mention them. I was scared of clowns themselves, the WORD (ridiculous ik😭) and typical circus music. I’m still scared of them as a teenager but not to the extent I was as a literal child. It’s funny to think about now but not then that’s for sure. 😀👍
I’m scared of many things but my most stupid fear is probably dead palm tree leaves. Idk, the constant possibility that they will fall and crush you is super unsettling to me. I know they’re not that heavy, but something falling from that high and being so big could really do some damage. I always try to avoid palm trees that have leaves practically hanging by a thread or making creaking noises. Ik it’s super weird, but I promise I have more relevant fears in the back of my brain.
Wow… Yeah, now I think I have a bigger fear of abandoned parks. But yeah anyway. I enjoy listening to your videos like this when I’m working on stuff. My worst fear would probably be heights and creepy music in a dark places. Or just any kind of music in a dark place. But yeah, I know the heights is a common one but it is a serious one where I get really panicky. Anyway love your videos melle! ❤
I have the same fear its so bad. I mean I swim across lakes but I have the same fear u have. I also hate dead trees under the water. me and my bff went to the lake in the summer and we were on this log that was floating. I was already scared because we had swam the whole lake. the log we were on had rope around it and was connected to something about 20 25 feet under. it was getting dark and we had to go so me and her started to swim back. she had googles and I didn't because I new I was going to die if I could see what was under me. we kept swimming back and I felt something wooden and slime like touch my foot my friend looked down and there were hundreds of trees and a whole abandoned train track I already new the train track was there but i thought it would be deeper. All I can say is I have never been swimming at that lake and i already had that fear which made it even worse. LOVE YOU LOTS.
what it is, is most either: fear of being abandoned fear of abandoned things fear of not knowing what is there fear of ghosts fear of water fear of old places i think the star few is fear of being abandoned and fear of not knowing what’s there. it’s the adrenaline of not knowing what shtetl but the fear of being abandoned yourself like you can relate my phobia is tryaphobio: fear of hole (specially lots of small holes in one place like pours freak me out)
I also have very bad anxiety! But my biggest weird (kinda) phobia is boats. Like not big boats, small boats. Like if I am on a boat I am crying. I’ve never thrown up, but I’ve probably can close to it. It’s probably just anxiety being like “hey! Your gonna sink and drown to your death” but I’m fine with cruises. I also have a fear of loosing a family member bc after my brother aka my fav person in the world passed, I just can’t with thinking that one day my parents will die. ANOTHER fear I have is growing up. I am a child but it just scares me so bad.
i have both thalassophobia and submechanophobia so i just kinda avoid water all together. but my goofiest fear i have that really has no explanation is my masklophobia. it’s the fear of masks, people in costume, or mascots. and i am terrified of mascots. if i see any sort of mascot, my fight or flight kicks in and i become extremely on edge. i do not why i’m so scared.
My biggest fear is probably the paranormal and skinwalkers stuff like that, as much as I’m a huge fan of it like Sam and Colby and people along the lines of them, I can’t imagine doing that myself, the amount of figures and things I’ve felt touch me just makes matters worse since I’m convinced there’s a little preppy ghost named Albert in my house 😢
I had no idea about the water park but now I am scared of it!😂 I’m afraid of quite a few common things like clowns, creepy dolls, snake etc. but I’ve always been terrified of abandoned places and animatronics unless they are like a dinosaur or something. And I definitely can see why man made things under the water are terrifying like for me planes or cars under the water HECK NOPE!😅
My most ridiculous fears are, petals falling off of flowers, dead bugs, or actual dead things in a pool or lake, and just random dead animals not in a pool or lake as well.
I have a couple phobias, Scopophobia fear of being watched, Thallasophobia fear of huge bodies of water, Megalophobia fear of huge objects, and now Submechanophobia.
So I'm scared of my own dreams. For example I often dreamt about a child ghost i would catch with. Always when I nearly had it, it would go invisible and pop up a few feet away from me. So I followed it and tried to catch it again. After some time we would take a break and sit on a tree branch just chatting. A few moments later, the ghost would speed down the tree, to a spring at it would fly down there. And everytime I followed. I would 'die' in this dream and wake up horrorfied. Often i would go to bed after calming down but as soon as I was asleep again, I would dream that i am still falling/dieing. After some time I never had this dream again but sometime this year i dreamt it in the excact same way and this isn't the only dream it happend with. This week i even dreamt, that i killed someone. And they feal so realistic. And when I wake up, i remeber the dream so clearly. Sometimes I even dream stuff that happens to me a few month after wards.
I have a "fear" of really HUGE manmade structures in bodies of water... uGH even just thinking about it makes me physically cringe 😭 Basically think like the pictures you see of the supports for oil platforms or sunken ships (especially pictures of the propellers REALLY bother me for some reason.
I have a similar fear, but mine is more like a fear of seaweed underwater and oil rigs underwater😭I literally can’t see the pictures because they make my stomach drop and my heart beat fast
does the submerged fear do with this? Like When I go swimming I absolutely hate docks. Like being near them. It freaks me out. Along with Buoys and sticks/logs.
my weird fear is deer. I'm really scared of deer, particularly a deer with fawns near it, because my dog decided that it would be a great idea to go and run after a deer with 2 fawns, I thought I would never see my dog again, and that she would get really hurt by this deer, I honestly thought that she was going to die at the time. But now when I see a deer with fawns, I feel like I want to throw up, and my hands start sweating.
it's funny seeing everyone talking about their fears and then remembering one of my fears is heights. roller coasters are my special interest (im autistic) and i love going on big rides, but i literally hate ferris wheels because of my fear of heights lmao
I don’t lease a horse, but my sister does it so I go to Summer camp instead and I ride the lesson horses that they have their favorite horses name is posh, but my biggest fear is connected to horses. My biggest fear is me losing my confidence and not being able to gain my confidence back or I’m scared I will fall off and not be able to ever ride or go to horse camp ever again
i’ve always been scared of abandoned things, especially cruise ships, but something freaking me out is the uncanny valley makeup trend on tiktok. it’s so disturbing to me, it makes me want to throw up. i’m also terrified of the ocean, not what’s in it, just the fact that if you’re on a cruise you most likely won’t be able to see any land. I’ve also been on three or four cruise ships. funny that 👍
i have submechanophobia too lmao, discovered it at some point in the last few years. Problem is, i haven't seen anything that's triggered it in a while so i kinda forgot all about it - i was very much not expecting that to be the fear you were talking about, and when i tell you that first plane picture made me audibly gasp 💀💀
my friend lives really close to this abandoned uni near my friends house and we've been to it 3 or 4 times and when we first went we went with our parents and than we went more recently and we wen't with my sister and our friend and i'm scared of men, crazy people, getting kidnapped (i'm 4'9 i'm so short for my age it's crazy) and there are people in the assluym there with people and it's gonna get knocked down but it was so scary and fun (i also have adhd)
dw I'm afraid of mirrors :') and taking showers at night. Ik childish but I have had full out panic attacks infront of a mirror in a dark room and when taking a shower at night.
this might sound very fake. but I also feel very funny when i think and see pictures animatronic animas on water. I feel like if anyone put me in a pool with idk a fake shark i could star SOBBING but same. I have never found someone with the same fear. When I heard you say that you had that phobia i was like. NO WAY, someone has the same phobia, my jaw dropped hahah. but anyways keep the good work! Love ur videos.
I have very serious thalassophobia (I spelled that wrong) and here’s why: I was 5 and I was playing at the beach and I look down and yk what is next to my little foot? The biggest lobster I have ever seen. I’m terrified of water now
Also, I am scared of being in a igloo because just thinking a bought being under snow and only snow it just scary to me. But I am not scared of many things. Not even the new fnaf(five nights at Freddy’s)movie is scary to me. I am also a little scared of spider. For Halloween we watched a movie about spiders and I would close my eyes and turn around. Idk why I am scared of climbing. Like why is climbing a rope wall so scary.
I'm afraid of Butterflies. I CAN EXPLAIN OKAY.... So basically when I was little I just learned how to ride a bike. We went a a trail near our house and we biked for a while. And then I was distracted by Idk what, and a Monarch butterfly ran into me and GOT STUCK IN MY GLASSES. I fell over and desperately tried to get it out and btw my bike is now on top of me so I can't do anything and finally it got out and died. Such a scary experience and it hurt for a long time.
hope the crash course on abandoned disney water parks was fun for u, also it’s not on lake buena vista, im just tired. lake buena vista is the name of the area, the exact lake is bay lake Oopsies!

hey! i think its because when people die, they can give diseases, so we have developed to be afraid of things that look off

i feel likw we would be friends because some friends LITTERLY HAVE POLAR OPISITE INTRESTS because im deathly afraid of anything and everything :)))
I love snakes but cry when I see a spider😂

also the alligators and the rotting rides.
horrifying, im now scared of it too :')
Same! As soon as she mentioned those things I realized how terrifying they are.
@@GeorgiaDreamsky yeah, 100% it’s not a dumb fear at all
oh my GOD me too😭 the prion disease chronic wasting disease scares me shitless too because i live in an area with a HUGE whitetail deer population 😭
the ocean doesnt have the amoeba! it's not found in saltwater!
No, but I’m scared of the sea when you can’t see anything, and amoebas 😭😭😭@@AlRGUN101

On the wall of this pool there was a huge spider (it literally looked like it had fangs) I jumped back and screamed! My brother was on the other side of the pool and he laughed and said did u find another one. I was literally so scared that I could barely talk and I was literally shaking! That night I got like 1 hour of sleep bc I kept thinking abt the spiders. The next day we were going on the pool again and I literally stood outside the pool for like 15 minutes CRYING! After I had spent the last 30 minutes crying inside.
There is actually something seriously wrong with me 😂😭
I have agoraphobia. When it’s a super sunny day out with no clouds, it’s unnerving. Idk why, I guess it’s because the sky just look so big like I’m about to fall into it lmao.
Edit: Also I think the root cause of your fear is that you see something that was left to rot away and get all gross looking.
Bro same! Horror movies never scare me 😂
You neeed a podcasttt like this esme has that you post here too❤❤❤
Ok thanks for sharing a phobia with me that I now know I have. I have a fear that when I leave a room something is chasing me and I have to run as fast as possible to a room of people or my bed and jump in. It just feels like something’s always watching me. But then again there’s the man in the attic and the ghost that watches you so maybe that explains it.
I do that same thing! When ever I turn a light off I sprint to where I need to go! I think I have a specific time to get there for someone gets me 😅
Hi I have a fear of the dark and I hate roller coasters except for a few by the way I'm 14 also odd coloured things scare me and every time I feel sick I either fear I've been poisoned or fear I have a disease of some sort
ME TOO OMG
@@AlRGUN101 yay someone like me hello
Gotta do this more often, your voice is so calming❤
when i was younger i would WAYYYY overthink about humans and the fact other people are around me and for some reason i would just be terrified of other people? its super hard to explain.
unstable floors make me really uncomfortable. especially floors that arent supposed to be unstable. i hate it so much.
I think I gained a phobia watching this
My weird phobia was automatic toilets, lol. When I was three, I used one, and it flushed on me, and I hated them ever since. For the longest time, I wouldn't use them. I would rather have peed my pants. They are so freaking loud, and the fact that they could flush on their own just scared me.
I'm over it now because I had to use them in middle school. But still, I prefer not using them. Lol
omg no way finally someone that understands my fear of anamatronics/manmade things underwater 😭 speficily the hippos from the jungle cruse ride fill my nightmares
I love telling people my phobia because of the reactions, people think I'm joking but I have a massive fear/phobia of sponges 💀 They just creep the living day lights out me , idk why they just do HAHA Anyways thanks for the video, it was nice listening to while I study for my exam today 💙✨
maybe the holes? could be trypophobia
now that i think about it sponges are a bit scary 😭
I love listening to her voice! I also got creeped out when I saw the pictures.
OMG NO BUT SAME I HATE GOING ON WATER RIDED WITH ANIMATRONICS IN THE WATER! I HATE IT! 8:58 girl. No actually like this just explained my whole phobia. Thank you 😭
I am scared if abandoned things, and the river country is actually one of them! I get that same weird feeling that you described, love your vids!
I don’t know what the phobia is called, but I have a fear of submerged things. Logs, boulders , seaweed, man made objects, ect. If it’s in the water, I freak. What’s even more strange is that if you were to pull said objects out of the water and let them dry, I wouldn’t be afraid anymore. A fun phobia for someone who loves swimming and paddle boarding. (Also, I live in Michigan so I don’t have fears of man eating creatures in the water thankfully)
I love watching these, they just feel so relatable, its just calming to listen to. Keep making theese!
Edit: Alright, now i watched the video and now i'm terrified of disneyland. :I. Well, i thought i didnt have any specific phobia but apparently now i do- Great!
I’m totally watching this when I’m back home
Well, my fear isn't as abnormal as Amelia’s but I am petrified of clowns. I remember watching my brother play a Batman game (I don't remember which one because I refuse to go anywhere near them 👹) and the SECOND the Joker appeared on the screen I screamed and ran out of the room 😎 I think I might’ve been 7..? I thought that maybe it was just the fictional character I was scared of but then killer clowns started popping up and the idea of them scared the heck out of me 😭 I didn't even like sitting downstairs when my mum watched the news on the off chance that they’d mention them. I was scared of clowns themselves, the WORD (ridiculous ik😭) and typical circus music. I’m still scared of them as a teenager but not to the extent I was as a literal child. It’s funny to think about now but not then that’s for sure. 😀👍
I’m scared of many things but my most stupid fear is probably dead palm tree leaves. Idk, the constant possibility that they will fall and crush you is super unsettling to me. I know they’re not that heavy, but something falling from that high and being so big could really do some damage. I always try to avoid palm trees that have leaves practically hanging by a thread or making creaking noises. Ik it’s super weird, but I promise I have more relevant fears in the back of my brain.
Wow…
Yeah, now I think I have a bigger fear of abandoned parks.
But yeah anyway. I enjoy listening to your videos like this when I’m working on stuff.
My worst fear would probably be heights and creepy music in a dark places. Or just any kind of music in a dark place. But yeah, I know the heights is a common one but it is a serious one where I get really panicky.
Anyway love your videos melle! ❤
My biggest fear is abandoned places too!❤️
I have the same fear its so bad. I mean I swim across lakes but I have the same fear u have. I also hate dead trees under the water. me and my bff went to the lake in the summer and we were on this log that was floating. I was already scared because we had swam the whole lake. the log we were on had rope around it and was connected to something about 20 25 feet under. it was getting dark and we had to go so me and her started to swim back. she had googles and I didn't because I new I was going to die if I could see what was under me. we kept swimming back and I felt something wooden and slime like touch my foot my friend looked down and there were hundreds of trees and a whole abandoned train track I already new the train track was there but i thought it would be deeper. All I can say is I have never been swimming at that lake and i already had that fear which made it even worse. LOVE YOU LOTS.
what it is, is most either:
fear of being abandoned
fear of abandoned things
fear of not knowing what is there
fear of ghosts
fear of water
fear of old places
i think the star few is fear of being abandoned and fear of not knowing what’s there. it’s the adrenaline of not knowing what shtetl but the fear of being abandoned yourself like you can relate
my phobia is tryaphobio: fear of hole (specially lots of small holes in one place like pours freak me out)
I also have very bad anxiety! But my biggest weird (kinda) phobia is boats. Like not big boats, small boats. Like if I am on a boat I am crying. I’ve never thrown up, but I’ve probably can close to it. It’s probably just anxiety being like “hey! Your gonna sink and drown to your death” but I’m fine with cruises. I also have a fear of loosing a family member bc after my brother aka my fav person in the world passed, I just can’t with thinking that one day my parents will die. ANOTHER fear I have is growing up. I am a child but it just scares me so bad.
i’m six minutes in and that dinosaur photo jump scared me 😭😭
i have both thalassophobia and submechanophobia so i just kinda avoid water all together. but my goofiest fear i have that really has no explanation is my masklophobia. it’s the fear of masks, people in costume, or mascots. and i am terrified of mascots. if i see any sort of mascot, my fight or flight kicks in and i become extremely on edge. i do not why i’m so scared.
i have the EXACT same phobias as you hahah. As a kid I always avoided the mascots in theme parks because i would literally have a meltdown.
My biggest fear is probably the paranormal and skinwalkers stuff like that, as much as I’m a huge fan of it like Sam and Colby and people along the lines of them, I can’t imagine doing that myself, the amount of figures and things I’ve felt touch me just makes matters worse since I’m convinced there’s a little preppy ghost named Albert in my house 😢
I had no idea about the water park but now I am scared of it!😂 I’m afraid of quite a few common things like clowns, creepy dolls, snake etc. but I’ve always been terrified of abandoned places and animatronics unless they are like a dinosaur or something. And I definitely can see why man made things under the water are terrifying like for me planes or cars under the water HECK NOPE!😅
Love it Amelia 🫶
My most ridiculous fears are, petals falling off of flowers, dead bugs, or actual dead things in a pool or lake, and just random dead animals not in a pool or lake as well.
the amount of abandoned amusement / water parks there are is ridiculous. Tho Paris Catacombs hits different like a creepy way
I have a couple phobias, Scopophobia fear of being watched, Thallasophobia fear of huge bodies of water, Megalophobia fear of huge objects, and now Submechanophobia.
So I'm scared of my own dreams. For example I often dreamt about a child ghost i would catch with. Always when I nearly had it, it would go invisible and pop up a few feet away from me. So I followed it and tried to catch it again. After some time we would take a break and sit on a tree branch just chatting. A few moments later, the ghost would speed down the tree, to a spring at it would fly down there. And everytime I followed. I would 'die' in this dream and wake up horrorfied. Often i would go to bed after calming down but as soon as I was asleep again, I would dream that i am still falling/dieing. After some time I never had this dream again but sometime this year i dreamt it in the excact same way and this isn't the only dream it happend with. This week i even dreamt, that i killed someone. And they feal so realistic. And when I wake up, i remeber the dream so clearly. Sometimes I even dream stuff that happens to me a few month after wards.
WAKEY AMELIA POSTED
I’m a Florida resident and I did not know about River Country's existence, that sounds TERRIFYING
I really enjoy these videos. They remind me that I really need to clean up my closet lol love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I have a "fear" of really HUGE manmade structures in bodies of water... uGH even just thinking about it makes me physically cringe 😭 Basically think like the pictures you see of the supports for oil platforms or sunken ships (especially pictures of the propellers REALLY bother me for some reason.
I have a similar fear, but mine is more like a fear of seaweed underwater and oil rigs underwater😭I literally can’t see the pictures because they make my stomach drop and my heart beat fast
I have the whole deep blue sea series and im terrified of sharks but i love shark movies, i am fascinated by what im terrified of lmao
does the submerged fear do with this? Like When I go swimming I absolutely hate docks. Like being near them. It freaks me out. Along with Buoys and sticks/logs.
my weird fear is deer. I'm really scared of deer, particularly a deer with fawns near it, because my dog decided that it would be a great idea to go and run after a deer with 2 fawns, I thought I would never see my dog again, and that she would get really hurt by this deer, I honestly thought that she was going to die at the time. But now when I see a deer with fawns, I feel like I want to throw up, and my hands start sweating.
it's funny seeing everyone talking about their fears and then remembering one of my fears is heights. roller coasters are my special interest (im autistic) and i love going on big rides, but i literally hate ferris wheels because of my fear of heights lmao
It creeps me out too. I can't do it! I cannot stand the photos of the fake "smiling" shark in Lake Neuchâtel. I H.A.T.E it.
The plane low key reminded me of when I was 10 in 4th grade reading hatchet when the kid has to find the safety kit in the plane
Holy crap I have the same fears. When I was about 10 I learned about both of those. It’s a really weird feeling tbh
My fears are Scoleciphobia (Being scared of worms, specifically being infested with worms) and Omphalophobia
OMG stop i was at disney about 3 weeks ago?? but i wished i looked out for river county but i had no idea that was even there!!
I don’t lease a horse, but my sister does it so I go to Summer camp instead and I ride the lesson horses that they have their favorite horses name is posh, but my biggest fear is connected to horses. My biggest fear is me losing my confidence and not being able to gain my confidence back or I’m scared I will fall off and not be able to ever ride or go to horse camp ever again
I'm terrified of deep large bodies of water and what is underneath that I cant see. That and anything that is abandoned.
10:42 well you found someone who has the EXACT fear😭😭
mine is megalaphobia or whatever. its gets super bad when im driving through mountains in the dark😭😭 not fun
thats crazy bc ive always had this weird fear of river country and discovery island and i feel seen amelia
Now I’m going down a rabbit hole of river country things… yeah
Heights.... I am afraid of heights. You NEED to watch Fringe. Ir is a tv show. It is sci-fi.
No River country terrifies me as well - my stupid fear though is butterflies 😭
i’ve always been scared of abandoned things, especially cruise ships, but something freaking me out is the uncanny valley makeup trend on tiktok. it’s so disturbing to me, it makes me want to throw up. i’m also terrified of the ocean, not what’s in it, just the fact that if you’re on a cruise you most likely won’t be able to see any land.
I’ve also been on three or four cruise ships. funny that 👍
my biggest fear is big abandoned things in water the thought of it makes me wanna cryyy
Me being on a boat in the middle of the ocean 🌊😢😮💨now I‘m scared…
i have submechanophobia too lmao, discovered it at some point in the last few years. Problem is, i haven't seen anything that's triggered it in a while so i kinda forgot all about it - i was very much not expecting that to be the fear you were talking about, and when i tell you that first plane picture made me audibly gasp 💀💀
I really need to do a closet clean out but I have such a hoarding problem 😔
the abandonded water park is mine to-
my friend lives really close to this abandoned uni near my friends house and we've been to it 3 or 4 times and when we first went we went with our parents and than we went more recently and we wen't with my sister and our friend and i'm scared of men, crazy people, getting kidnapped (i'm 4'9 i'm so short for my age it's crazy) and there are people in the assluym there with people and it's gonna get knocked down but it was so scary and fun (i also have adhd)
I LOVE these so much! ❤
i almost drowned as a kid in typhoon lagoon and thats all i could think ab during ur rant ab disney parks KFHSJHFJSF
Normal fear: Spiders
Weird fear: Flossers... (I accidentally ripped a tooth out with one before-)
Biggest fear: disappointing people
Swallowing things that aren't food... this used to freak me out, but now it's more of a disturbance
dw I'm afraid of mirrors :') and taking showers at night. Ik childish but I have had full out panic attacks infront of a mirror in a dark room and when taking a shower at night.
No because why did the picture of the plan underwater give me an anxiety rush 😭😭
this might sound very fake. but I also feel very funny when i think and see pictures animatronic animas on water. I feel like if anyone put me in a pool with idk a fake shark i could star SOBBING but same. I have never found someone with the same fear. When I heard you say that you had that phobia i was like. NO WAY, someone has the same phobia, my jaw dropped hahah. but anyways keep the good work! Love ur videos.
I am scared of being stung by a bee/wast. I love your videos
We have the same underwater items that arent supposed to be there phobia! Ty now I know what it's called :)
I have a phobia of being alone and of the dark and of bugs 🐛
I love going on airplanes sitting at the window seat and love zip lining but I’m prettified of heights 😅
I have very serious thalassophobia (I spelled that wrong) and here’s why:
I was 5 and I was playing at the beach and I look down and yk what is next to my little foot? The biggest lobster I have ever seen. I’m terrified of water now
Also, I am scared of being in a igloo because just thinking a bought being under snow and only snow it just scary to me. But I am not scared of many things. Not even the new fnaf(five nights at Freddy’s)movie is scary to me. I am also a little scared of spider. For Halloween we watched a movie about spiders and I would close my eyes and turn around. Idk why I am scared of climbing. Like why is climbing a rope wall so scary.
Ooo u posted again ❤❤❤
Amelia this is your reminder to buy the g1 Arabians! they leave soon!
why did u just create my new random biggest fear I'm never going to disney again lmao
with my ADHD, I'm either under stimulated, or over stimulated, and when I get over stimulated, that usually means a panic attack
I'm afraid of Butterflies. I CAN EXPLAIN OKAY....
So basically when I was little I just learned how to ride a bike. We went a a trail near our house and we biked for a while. And then I was distracted by Idk what, and a Monarch butterfly ran into me and GOT STUCK IN MY GLASSES. I fell over and desperately tried to get it out and btw my bike is now on top of me so I can't do anything and finally it got out and died. Such a scary experience and it hurt for a long time.
