Whales and the ocean terrify me, also. I used to have nightmares every night when I was younger.

I am also really scared of whales. My fear started as a little kid. My parents had a subscription to National Geographic and there was a cover of a man in a tiny row boat in some very still water. Behind him an enormous whale tale was coming out of the water. It looked like the tail was going to come down and just smash him down into the water. Just thinking about it gives me the chills every time. I'll never forget it and I've always been afraid of whales ever since.

And irrational fear of whales is, so-far, the most bizzare thing I've ever heard of. Mostly because it's difficult to explain. It could be because whales can swallow you whole, but someone said it's not that...so I guess no. Seeing as most people agree on the fear focusing on the entire ocean, it's probablly just of fear of the unknown, or the different. I could be wrong, but that's probably it.

i have a huge fear of whales also, its not the fact that they could swallow you whole or kill you in a second its the fact that it is a whale. i absoulutely despise every thing you could possibly find in and ocean. i've never liked water and i will only have a shower definately not a bath nooooo way. but i really hate whales my biggest fear in the ocean are: whales, dolphins, sharks, jelly fish, starfish, eel's, crabs and seals. and most of all penguins i really hate everything associated with the sea, i can't go down the beach or swimming in a paddling pool out the back, on holiday, or down the leisure centre. its wrecking my life :(

For the longest time I have thought that I was weird. I have this horrible irrational fear of whales. I can stand them. Even when I just see them on TV, or on an ad they make my heart race.
It is nice to know that I am not the only one who suffers from this fear.

Name? by: JT
Do you know the name of this phobia. My friend has it too and she has done everything she can to get over it and nothing works. If you know the name of it just leave another comment. I'd give you 5 stars but this isn't the worste or most bizarre fear I've ever seen.
