The Weirdest Phobias People ever Had!!

Image
 Phobias - You must have at least one phobia or you might have seen someone having one, did you? I did but they were regular phobias people experience normally but here are a few of the weirdest phobias which were and are experienced by people: 1)   ARACHIBUTYROPHOBIA  - I know, this is a very weird name itself but do you know what is interesting about it?That this phobia is the fear of Peanut Butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.How funny! I never Imagined there was a Phobia like this. Let's Dig into this deeper, this word "Arachibutyrophobia" comes from the Greek words - "Arachi" which means Groundnut, and the word "Butyr" means butter.  It is just that a person is afraid that he might be choked by eating peanut butter or either just hates that feeling. Here the Phobia is not about eating peanut butter, it is about the peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth, but if you have a phobia like this don't worry, it is just your feeling; so ...

- Tutankhamun’s Curse - Tutankhamun ( An Egyption Pharaoh ) Have you ever considered if the Egyptian tombs were actually cursed?  Well, let me tell you about the Tutankhamun's Curse.... Tutankhamun was an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, who died in 1323 BC aged about 18.  On November 4, 1922, a team of archeologists lead by Howard Carter discovered Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb, in the Valley of the Kings, across the Nile from Luxor in Egypt . One more interesting thing about the tomb was that it was not plundered from the early times like the other tombs. In fact it was the first tomb to be found almost entirely undisturbed. The most significant point of the tutankhamun's tomb which created a sensational news and circulated all over the world, was the eng raved   plaque  – “Death comes on swift wings to he who disturbs the  tomb  of the pharaoh”.  Now, here comes the question 'Is Tutankhamun's curse real?'.  No one knows the answer to...
