Agoraphobia is actually the fear of wide open spaces and Demophobia being the fear of large amounts of people in said spaces. What Ghodbane was talking about fits more with Enochlophobia, the straight up fear of crowds.

As for me, i have a few. I have a fear of spiders, and a slight fear of heights, which is funny that i'm a ropes instructor. Those are the normal ones.

My biggest one i'd say is a fear of natural bodies of water. The bigger they are, the worse it gets. I'm generally ok with lakes and rivers, but again, size matters. As soon as we start getting into seas and oceans i've been known to freeze. I can be in the water as long as i can touch the bottom, or if i'm within two arms lengths of other people, any further and i start to get edgy, and if i'm alone in the water i've panicked pretty hard. I chalk it up to my overactive imagination and all those movies i watched with big underwater monsters and stuff.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
