Ancraophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of drafts or wind.  This phobia is also known as Anemophobia.  Those who suffer from this phobia feel that blowing winds can blow away their identity and belongings.

A phobia is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons.  The main symptom is an excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.
