The Phobia List

site sponsors

I have been working on this list for several years. It started as a lark one day and grew from there.
Please don't ask me about curing phobias because I know little about them. My interest is in the names only.
All the phobia names on this list have been found in some reference book.
If you're looking for a phobia name that's not on the list....Sorry, but I don't have it.
