Fear of Church Steeples.

I have such a terrible fear of Church steeples. Don't ask me why, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one with this phobia. I think it may be because they are all tall and pointy.

Also, in England, there are a lot of very old churches, dating back to the 15th century or earlier, and years of industrial pollution turn them black, so they look really menacing.

I live in the halls of residence at a university in Leicester. Outside my window is a very black, narrow, sharp looking church steeple. I am terrified of it. I have to keep my blind permanently down.

I've sort of accepted that I'm the only one with a phobia like this, but if you have, speak up and tell me. Trust me, you are not alone.
