Gnomophobia

The fear of Gnomes, Gnomophobia.
I know, I know... it seems dumb.

None the less I am deathly afraid of gnomes. I don't like to be around them, if I must be near one I can't have it facing me or I will have a panic attack.

I cannot explain its cause any better than an episode of Goosebumps, a crazy woman who told me her garden gnomes come to life, and seven or eight years of manifestation.
