The names of phobias/fears come from Greek or Latin (except some phobias whose names are made up by Wiki Answers Contributors which are suspected to be Gibberish/Gobbledegook).

Some are serious and obviously real (like fear of Spiders and fear of enclosed spaces). Some seem ridiculous (like fear of chickens or fear of objects to the left of oneself). However, who are we to laugh if ridiculous-seeming fears are recorded by the world's psychology?

Ten phobias are below:

Arachnophobia - fear of spiders

Arachibutyrophobia - fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth

Alektorophobia - fear of chickens

Cacophobia - fear of ugliness

Claustrophobia - fear of enclosed spaces

Didaskaleinophobia - fear of going to school

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedialophobia - fear of long words

Levophobia -fear of objects to the left of oneself

Spheksophobia - fear of wasps

Triskaidekaphobia - fear of the number 13
