Mine has always been spiders, even little ones.
They find me everywhere I go. I have injured myself numerous times due to them. I have had many times that someone will be talking to me and tell me to hold still that there is a spider in my hair.
A girlfriend out in the country gets wolf spiders that look like an ugly rag creature. I’m there then when I got home, she informed there was one sitting on the wall right behind my head watching me, she didn’t want to tell me because I would flip and injure myself. That would be correct.
I have captured spiders with containers then right a note with an arrow “Please get spider” for the hubby.
Oh, I have so many spider encounters that I could write book on! Crazy.
I’m a scary person was scared when I was a little girl and still am now as a grown woman. To answer your question when I was little, I was afraid of the dark. I used to see things in the dark like the shadows of the clothes or coats. It would look like someone was standing in the corner or wherever I was looking in the dark room I was in.
