I don't think there's such a thing as ghosts but I don't like reading about them or watching things on TV about them as it freaks me out. Although, my disbelief isn't as strong at night when I hear strange noises. I'm such a wimp!

My kids being unhappy (not my-wii-remote-isn't-working-unhappy or Mum-won't-give-me-something-from-the-sweetie-cupboard-unhappy - nah, they can suck that sh*t right up - but properly unhappy, like bullying, loneliness. The thought makes me feel a little sick actually).
Losing control of the car.
Hi Matt:D
However on 2006 my brother had a brain tumour and was rushed into Addenbrooke's hospital and was put in life support and the doctors told me it was unlikely he would pull through (he did though and is better today) but at that moment in time I didn't think it was humanly possible to be so scared and even the thought of it happening again scares the hell out of me.
As much as I'm scared of rats I'd face a billion of them sooner than face that again.

On second thoughts, the last hour has cured me of THAT particular phobia....!
That's awful, James. Not quite the same but we had a tumour scare with our daughter when she was 4 and it was the only then that I realised that I had never truly experienced real fear. All those times before when I thought I was scared was nothing in comparison. Hope to never feel that again so I completely understand your post. Puts the spider and rat stuff in perspective.

Being shot and/or stabbed.
Dangerous animals, e.g. big cats, crocodiles, sharks, venomous spiders/snakes/jellyfish.
