| 9 | 3 | Gunnar Húni Björnsson | Arachnophobiacs usually feel uneasy when around places where spiders are common, such as around cobwebs, and then experience great fear when seeing a spider, causing them to take alternate routes or temporarily avoiding the room, building, etc. where the spider was spotted altogether. |
