I've searched this for ages and have finally found this page!! My mum has the worst fear of taxidermy and she has passed it on to me! Its getting ridiculous now I have to get my boyfriend and family to check every new place I go and its so embarrassing asking people at receptions and people who work there its like no one understands! Thank god I'm not the only one! It is a serious phobia. Mum went to a shrink who actually helped her so much that she was in the same room as a stuffed owl. Her fear is mainly of stuffed birds but all animals as well! Mine seems to be the bigger the worse I get. I'd love to talk to someone in the same boat as me. Message back!
my fear runs my life by: Renee
I have been scared of mounts ever since i can remember... Has anyone tried hypnosis? It pretty much runs my life, its the first thing i look for in a new place and at 21 years old i still ask whoever i am with to go check things out and let me know if there are any before i go in anywhere.
I completely understand. by: Anonymous
I used to go screaming from rooms as a small child. And considering I lived in an area where hunting was common there was no shortage of taxidermy. Years later, at 18, I have it more "under control", but I can't be in the same room for long periods of time as a stuffed animal or head, and never alone. Less screaming now though...

I know what you mean!!! Taxidermy is the absolute worst! My fear has gone a step further. Even statues and carvings if large animals make mr VERY nervous. I wish there was more info out there about this phobia.
