Hylophobia, a fear of forests

There is a very interesting article here:-

Hylophobia, a fear of forests

Hylophobia is an irrational fear of forests which may sound bizarre to many people but is actually a real issue for others.

www.phobiasupportforum.co.uk

Which covers Hylophobia, a phobia/fear of forests. While this may seem bizarre to many people, when you read the article you can understand how this phobia can emerge and how it actually impacts people. There is anybody out there suffering from Hylophobia?

In many ways this does highlight the power of the media because how many horror movies have scenes in dark forests where people are being chased, kidnapped or killed?

Is it fair to say that the media may well be responsible for an array of phobias?

Agree, this does link into the power of the media and the subliminal messages certain scenes in certain actions can encourage. That's the honest, who does not have a fear of forests when it comes to night-time?
