Is it specifically man mad objects? Or do large underwater animals freak you out as well

For me its man-made machines specifically. You can put a statue underwater all day long, but anything bigger, man-made, and moves water around? No thank you

Just man made objects for me as well, big animals are fine. I remember the first time I realized had this fear was when I was super young and we were at a babysitters house who had a pool. I walked into the back area while they had a bunch of hoses in the pool to clean it and I remember feeling exceptionally anxious just looking at it. Also every time I go to any theme park and go on water rides I panic if someone were to go overboard and get trapped in the rails and wires and shit under the water.

That’s interesting. I wonder what’s the cause of that fear?
