Interestingly enough, I had a big fear of dogs. I don't really know why because I've never had a traumatic experience with them (thank God I never got bitten).
I also feared being alone, darkness (but not much) and heights. Woah, I was a fearful kid.
Today, well, I only fear those big, aggressive dogs like kangals and rottweilers. As for darkness and loneliness, nah.

The fear of open water such as lakes, beaches, and rivers. I've always had a fear but would some times just suck it up. Hell a family friend once dragged me by my foot against my will into a lake where it was bitch black and even then I still had times where I'd swim around that area willingly. Not sure when it started but late into my adulthood I began being truly afraid of it so I keep my distance.
