People in the Middle Ages were afraid of anything they did not understand or could not explain, including: * Mental Illness - often attributed to evil or punishment from God * Physical Illness - often attributed to evil or punishment from God * Weather Related -storms, lightning * Catastrophies - earthquakes, floods * Death - their own and other people's deaths * feeling too small and bad for God to take notice * the unknown, the future * tyrants - as in all ages and cultures * ghosts - the spirit world was very much "alive" and thought to influence people and their lives * Evil Spirits - their influence was blamed for just about anything bad that happened Posted by: Lifes
