While this page is hardly definitive, i've worked very hard at making it comprehensive. I'm not done - i'll work on it as i can. I've footnoted sources wherever possible. Please mail me at ojo@ojohaven.com with any comments, questions, or corrections you may have.

Use your browser's find feature (the binoculars button in NetScape) to find the name of the irrational fear of your choice or interest. Or just browse.

Feel free to link into this page. Each letter and each phobia name is also an anchor. To have the word, say, lilapsophobia, appear as a link to its definition here use
<a href="http://www.ojohaven.com/fun/phobias.html#lilapsophobia">lilapsophobia</a>.
