I have had a fear of old large machinary from when I was a child. My fear is very closely linked to machinary used near water, and it has developed into a fear of dark deep water and quaysides/riverbanks. I first noticed it when I was at the rear of a victorian water pumping station. I am completely terrified and immobilised by water wheels and mills, and the paddles on an old steemer boats. I am also very scared of large cogs and pistons on steam powered machinary. Sometimes I have dreams where I am trapped in moving machinary and cogs, which you might find inside a big clock, like Big Ben. I get very scared when near any large boats where you can see their propellers at the rear, I also find the smell of river water can start the fear. I dont think I would cope very well on a canal boating holiday, if I had to encounter long dark cannal tunnels and the waterlocks needed to go up or down hill. This doesn't cause much of a problem in my life, and I have absolutely no idea where this fear could have come from. I have never met anyone with a similar phobia.

I have this totally unjustified fear of huge machinery and epuipment too. Line, cars and stuff are fine. I'm talking abouut those creepy old boilers that fill a room with pipes bigger than me, or trains taller than a house. Stuff like that. All I can think is its from too many scary movies or something as a kid, I can't even watch them now I get way too freaked out. I guess it seems unnatural or something. (I mean... It kinda is...) I don't know anyone else who feels that way, luckily it doesn't come up for me much.
