Illustrator Fran Krause asked people to tell him their weirdest and most irrational fears to turn them into witty comics. Sometimes these irrational fears can be traced from the early childhood memories or come as a result of some vivid world explanations grown-ups used to tell you. But sometimes, however, they are just inexplicable. The project, which started with Krause‘s own phobias, now features comics of more than a hundred of craziest and darkest fears readers sent him. When reading through the comics, you can see that even though your fears might be silly, they aren‘t that uncommon. If you feel brave enough, you can submit one yourself!

    Actually this is possible if a child dies and is reincarnated. But the original owner won't make you leave - two spirits will live together.

    Right goes to one dimension, left to another. Turning back doesn't return you; only perfectly retracing steps (in reverse!) had a chance.

    All basements should be required—-by law—-to have a light switch right by the door, or better yet outside the door. If I found my dream house at a crazy good price but the basement had a light you had to be IN the basement to turn on and off, I wouldn’t buy it, because you know the price was set low to get someone to buy it with monsters down there.

    I wonder if this is why my 37 year old husband freaks out if I touch his belly button. He can't stand anyone touching it. -_-

    My dad used to tell us that if we played with our bellybuttons our butts would fall off.

    My mom told me that touching your belly button could kill you and to this day I have an extreme phobia of belly button touching

    I was scared that a corpse was buried in our shower wall... Made me scared to shower when nobody was home.

    Your mom should have her parenting license revoked. Geez.

    That's horrible - and she thought that would do the trick - replace one fear with another? :-(

    For those people saying this is a cruel thing to say - I can tell you that frustrated parents say many things they immediately regret. -_-
