While some of them might not be scientifically proven to exist and seem quite questionable, there are also some very common and well-known ones like arachnophobia (fear of spiders and other arachnids) and claustrophobia (fear of confined spaces).
And as long as there are things in the world, there is definitely at least one person who has a fear of it.
