There are many things to be scared of in life. You may have a fear of creepy crawlies or the darkness but what about a fear of huge things?
Megalophobia is the intense fear of large objects. We take a look at some very huuuuge objects that you don’t realize are that big until you are standing right in front of them. From giant ships to monstrous icebergs. We peer up at colossus statues and fear for our lives with giant crocodiles.
You can see more on the subreddit r/Megalophobia.
