Nothing so serious. Scared to death about cockroaches. Way of dealing with it was to bash them to death with an object, but sometimes that wasn't the case.

Ghosts, maybe? Though the more accurate description would be the unknown. Another one would be malice. People used to think that it's easy to stand up against villains and evil men (no thanks to TV series and animes), but when you're really put up against someone who really wants to hurt you, that fear is an entirely different monster altogether. The fact that most of us never needed to deal with them makes us vulnerable.
