Taphephobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries. This phobia made the top 10 list of bizarre
phobias, but I don’t see this one as bizarre at all. I know those of us with phobias take our fear
to the extreme, but who doesn’t fear being buried alive. The thought of it is terrifying and I don’t even
have this phobia. Taphephobia is also
known as Taphophobia.
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. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
