Man With A Fear Of Water Watches Submechanophobia Videos

Oh helll nah!
Submechanophobia:
a fear of submerged human-made objects, either partially or entirely underwater. These objects could be shipwrecks, statues, animatronics as seen in theme parks, or old buildings, but also more mundane items such as buoys and miscellaneous debris.

Thanks, Greg. Now I'm aware that I'm in pitch-black darkness temporarily illuminated by the Sun.

[@GregBroDudeMan]

Oh yikes that’s a horrifying thought

[@lillianrin6373]

I think about this all the time, I’m glad I’m not alone

[@Shythalia]

Oh yeah.. Light really is temporary. And darkness is eternal. (Had to insert a Doom reference here. lol)

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

Maybe the real light was all the friends we made along the way?

[@Star_Rattler]

Aw don't worry about that. It's not pitch black. We're surrounded by so many stars. Without light pollution, the night sky would still provide light, especially during the times the moon is half or more lit. The moon light can cast shadows! Nothing will be taking away our distant stars or our moon, so we will always have light during the night.

[@chickennuggetpaw]

This is like exposure therapy, but with added moral support of someone else who’s also terrified 💀

[@ijustwantedanameok]

me personally i've always likes things underwater as it adds so much mystery to it like what happened or why is it sideways or why is it so rusty things like that is quite exciting and is one of the reasons i've visited so many shipwrecks

[@Wulfjager]

My mom has this fear. Somehow we got her to see the propeller in the start of the video in person. It's a part of the Queen Mary. I don't have this fear but I gotta admit that still made me nauseous

[@OccamsSledgehammer]

Exactly how I felt!

[@cinitroll2011]

me it made me cringe so hard

[@Stephanie-vy4zs]

FINALLY!!!!! Submechanophobia is so interesting because its almost like your brain is trying to correct itself by saying "this thing does not belong in water, therefore it must be a threat". To me there is something is creepy and unsettling about metal products being submerged in water, even if they are meant to be there. Even boats freak me out. I'm not afraid of being ON the boat but if i am beside the boat in the water I start to get such anxiety. Knowing that the hull goes under but I cant see it is terrifying.

[@CallMeMeepMeIfYouWannaReachMe]

Have you seen pics of the Costa Concordia after they raised it back upright? It's horrifying. Half the boat is normal and the other half is a nightmare hellscape

[@kaleylindsay8923]

Yesss very well said

[@jojocandy2025]

You have basically just explained my exact fear/ feelings. They dont belong and it terrifies me. Usually metal transport objects, cars, boats etc. Makes me feel sick amd terrified. Even if im gaming and i have to explore a wreck it makes me incredibly uncomfortable

[@Bats4Bats0]

This and any Type of Robotic Electronics on / under Water like them Disney rides Im so Scared of them main reason i hate Amusement parks

[@Khous-yg1ur]

Yes! Same, and so many people are like, "Why? It's weird to be freaked out by that, " and I'm just like, "No, no, no, don't want anything to do with it. Also, I completely relate to being beside a boat or ship in the water.... i want nothing to do with it. I will be in the boat or on the ship but fuck no to be beside it in the water

[@Khous-yg1ur]

I have this phobia, and omg, it just gives me chills, like propellers under water make me want to die. I would never go to a shipwreck underwater or a car underwater

[@DatGuy12345]

The worst part is when you imagine yourself inside the car or the plane 💀

[@gabrielorritt3160]

@matt s it was offered by someone I knew, and I really needed the money. Ot paid well but it wasn't worth it

[@gothgirl4evr881]

I don't think I could do that no matter how much was being offered. I can't be next to large boats in the water or next to them in dry dock. But in the water is worse. When they are in dry dock it's more megalophobia.

[@jason19twofour]

I get that with spiders. I'm afraid of them but if I have to go into a crawlspace or something full of them I can put on a hat and jacket and just do it.

[@kyoswkyosw1216]

This is actually one reason I’m signing up for scuba classes. I’ll always be too phobic to go down alone or let someone else do something stupid, but I also have been forcing myself into exposure therapy to overcome it. Heights? Get close to the edge just outside of comfort zone for more confidence. Don’t like water? Time to dunk my head off the kayak with goggles on I love everything in the water, my main fear is more of “it knows you aren’t food, but it mistakes you for food, and their way of hunting is hit to kill then come back when it stops struggling to not get injured” like car accidents you can’t hear or sometimes see coming

Its because the last thing you ever want is something thats supposed to be really high up be right down at the bottom of the sea

@@Sollapoke it isn't so much that. I can be next a plane on the ground either. Now I'm not talking a little puddle jumper I mean big planes. I have enough trouble just walking down the gang way to board the plane once I cross over through the door I'm fine but if I had get on or off on the tarmac I would probably faint but that's due to dealing with megalophobia. When you add that to thallassophobia too that's a very large nope

[@bbeeohazardd]

i kinda have submechanaphobia, but for me it revolves around underwater animatronics! just seeing them under the water freaks me out so badly. the pictures of the old, abandoned animatronics from the old disney 20000 Leagues Under The Sea ride made me realize i have this phobia lol, i do feel a bit silly about it being from a landlocked state, but knowing other people also feel freaked out by stuff like this is comforting!

[@SkyFrameCreations-p2k]

Hello, the shark statue from 1:59 is not in the sea, but in a lake. It is part of an underwater diving park and there are many other statues (but not of sharks). The statues are in Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland. Thanks for the great video again, keep it up! Hope I could help and greetings from Switzerland!

Dude when I was younger I always wondered why I had this anxiety. Something about man made objects in the ocean throw me the F off. I’m not that afraid of Walter itself but the ocean does give me the creeps. But it’s just seeing huge man made objects like a ship or plane or other weird shit in the ocean gives me the absolute worst anxiety. I just watched this video recently of a guy throwing his GoPro into the ocean off of a Cruise ship and when I saw the belly of the cruise ship and the propeller It gave me stupid anxiety. I had to look away lol

[@millionairesburner24]

Dawg I thought I was alone until I looked it up but it really does creep me out seeing just man made things in the ocean I can handle a statue or two nothing bigger then me!!!

[@cheshirccat]

I'm starting to think my submechanophobia is just an extension of my thalassophobia, bc the main fear for me is sunken crafts. Like, a thing that was *made* to go out on the water is now underneath it. And it's not necessarily something in the ocean that made the vessels sink, but the ocean itself and that really just describes my overall fear. Haven't watched one of your submechanophobia videos in a while so this one really freaked me out 😅 it was good tho! The vibes are immaculate, as always

I have submechanophobia. Piers, lines, old docks, the part of boats underwater, and the chains of boeys and anchors are terrifying for me to look at if not in full diving gear.

[@charminharlan9081]

The propeller pic immediately made me realize what this phobia is about. It’s not a fear of the objects themselves, it’s a fear of not knowing how they got there

[@heather9130]

For me it's a fear of the unknown. If I see a structure descend into the water, what does it look like below the surface? What creatures are using it for shelter? For the propeller, what is on the other side of it that I can't see? It's a dark side of the moon feeling. What if it starts moving?? I cannot stand the idea of being underneath boats looking up at them, like having to do maintenance in the water noooooooo. So wild, I never heard of this phobia before.

[@sugarandspikes6696]

This! The oil rigs and coral boats don't activate my fear because they were put there on purpose, but I get the heebie-jeebies from planes and those trees that float vertically because neither of those belong in the water (side note- what do you call submechanophobia if the object is naturally-occurring but not naturally in/under the water?)

[@admiralekul8303]

Random bit of trivia, the wreck seen at 5:47 is of a supertanker called Amoco Cadiz that ran aground about 2km off the coast of Brittany in France in the process spilling about 223000 t of crude oil in the 12 largest oil spill in history, and yet the strangest part of the whole saga is that the bow of the ship which is what is poking out of the water in the photo actually disappeared and to my knowledge hasn't been found yet.

[@annanikki1973]

When I was younger, there was a gravel pit that got converted into a swimming hole. Trees had grown in it, I guess, and they were just left there when it filled with water. So you would be swimming along and look down, and there'd be these tree branches emerging up from the depths, sometimes brushing your toes. Never freaked me out too badly, but i can easily imagine something like that being terrifying. The fish there were super bitey, too. They loved the taste of toes, and would bite yours a lot.

[@gothgirl4evr881]

No freaking way. I already keep my knees pulled up as close to my chest when I'm in any kind of water other than a pool bc I'm terrified of kicking something under the water

[@ammyfatxolotl]

Submechanophobia hits so hard. I had to swim around a dock in the deeper ocean and the giant beams covered in barnacles freaked me out. Had to climb up 20 feet of a ladder over the ocean in flippers.

[@cheezygui5803]

Before watching this and actually learning that this is an actual phobia whenever I'd go swimming and had swimming goggles on I always thought to myself how weird it was that I felt somehow uncomfortable just because there were objects right infront of me underwater, and it was even weirder that I'm actually fascinated with things such as underwater shipwrecks, but when I actually stopped and tried to think over how I was feeling I'd be like "why" so much that now I've kind of worked over it irl but those images still made me a bit uncomfortable

Just to expand on the propellor image at the start, it’s from a ship called the Queen Mary in long beach California.

The vertical wreck of HMS Victoria off the coast of Tripoli is a particularly scary sight as it sank straight down bow first and plunged into the soft sea bed by several meters so the ship is completely vertical.

[@lincolnbliss4885]

For me I only have a slight phobia of active under water machinery. Large propellers on sunken ships doesn't scare me at all it's only active machinery such as large pumps or drains. For example. Imagine falling into a water reserve pit at a treatment plant with a large pump running while you were in it. Or Imagine you are kayaking near a hydroelectric dam and happen to get sucked into the inlet were water flows to power the turbines.

I wouldn’t necessarily say mine is a phobia. It’s more of a fixation that, depending on context, either entrances me or paralyzes me. For example, Atlantica in the Little Mermaid, entrancing. The Monstro fight in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, paralyzing. Just depends.

[@bubblegumlemonade159]

Seeing things submerged in the water that are dark that are very large definitely sets off some instinctual fear and innate need to stay away probably due to predators in the water over the period of human existence and the dark and unknown and seeing something under the water that is large that you could get sucked into or stuck under it just gives you that anxious uncomfortable feeling like it could be alive but it’s not like you don’t want it behind you or out of your sight or underneath you. Also anything that’s very large and metal underwater gives me fear because it gives me the fear that it could crush me

This comes really close to the only thing I am actually afraid of: big things / human made objects ~partially~ under water (for me big things also includes big rocks nearby, but only if I am looking at them (rocks or manmade objects) when I am in the water and the 'thing' is partially submerged, the fear goes away when I am fully underwater or the thing is fully underwater..) Sound weird but that's what it is lol

[@thefallenangel7335]

Your eyes are so amazing, I've been watching for a while now especially the thalassophobia videos and never noticed. But wowzers they are so addicting to stare into.

Note to self: NEVER go to Swiss lakes

really enjoy this stuff bud. i know you hear this all the time, but you've really found a cool niche

The underwater mechanical shark reminds me of a little story from the making of Jaws. Spielberg made the Bruce for his movie because he didn't want to use miniatures, and one of them actually failed while being used in an open ocean shot and is still at the bottom of the ocean somewhere

Lol just imagine the underwater welder that has to go down there and fix the pipes on the oil rig. Just picture what they see looking up.

[@chaoticfroggo6852]

its so interesting to me that a lot of people experience their submechanophobias in very specific ways! mine is submerged animatronics (or sometimes just humanoid shaped objects). and ngl i wanted to leave my room upon seeing that freaky shark at the beginning aha

[@emptyface974]

yo bro the shark is in the Neuchâtel lake in Switzerland and I live in Neuchâtel so you can know more about it

The eel pit guy has eels in it now- one is named crunchwrap

13:52 the first few seconds of this what i hate. i have both thalassophobia and a fear of unsecured heights, so that really sent shivers down my spine.

[@GingerPandaa]

This stuff makes me feel soo physically sick but I can't stop watching 👀

[@mozzstickdestroyer]

6:35 I think I know what you were trying to say, I think of it as like "blue collar sci-fi" like the movie Alien

[@DokDo1995]

That shark statue is actualy submerged in a lake in Switzerland...

[@kushfiend559]

Just keep it up all your videos are great keep them coming have a good day buddy

8:09 is that Cherenkov radiation? I find it extremely fascinating! 🤩 It's created when particles are moving at speeds faster than that of light in a specific medium ☢

[@glassplanet5624]

Sure is. Kind of eerie to think that just seeing that in person would kill you

[@JUMALATION1]

@@glassplanet5624 I have heard that briefly falling into a Cherenkov radiation pool would not harm you, as long as you don't dive all the way to the bottom. I have also seen this radiation live with my own eyes above a similar pool, and I'm not dead yet 😅 I think the YT channel What If made a video on this. /watch?v=mM-5DhIhYmQ

[@glassplanet5624]

@@JUMALATION1 oh yeah, I just meant seeing Cherenkov radiation in general usually spells doom for people. Water is a very effective radiation shield.

[@JUMALATION1]

@@glassplanet5624 That is correct. I'm glad water is there as a buffer

[@The_cgull]

13:27 a lot of people don't know that oil rigs almost never reach the bottom of the ocean. They're just floating on a giant pad that goes way down in the ocean!
