15. Coulrophobia – Fear of clowns
The phobia name looks like some cool phobia but there is nothing cool about it. Clowns are meant to make us laugh but did you know they can instill fear in some people’s minds. Coulrophobia is the fear of the clowns (or Jokers). The people suffering have the irrational fear of evil clowns.
16. Omphalophobia – Fear of the navel
The navel or belly button is just a normal body part for most of us. But Some people fear navels (their navel and in some cases other’s navel as well). The people suffering from Omphalophobia do not like to touch their navel or someone else touching their navel.
17. Sanguivoriphobia – Fear of vampires
While we know for sure that vampires are hypothetical blood drinking creatures, some people believe the vampires are real and they have an abnormal fear of vampires. The Sanguivoriphobia literally means the fear of blood eaters. Be careful next time watching a vampire horror film.
