“Stairway to hell, that was good," a comment read.
An individual wrote, “I have had this phobia my whole life and I have to go swimming every week and pool drains, lights and filters really trigger my submechanophobia."

Earlier, a woman named Kelly Burch spoke about submechanophobia and revealed how she developed this fear. In a conversation with Insider, she said, “When I was in sixth grade, I visited Universal Studios with my family. I was so excited to go on the Jurassic Park ride. I expected to be scared of the giant T-rex, but I ended up being absolutely terrified by the small animatronic dinosaurs under the water. I had no idea why that little detail made me so uncomfortable."
“That worked until I was entering high school. I signed up for a kayaking trip on Lake Superior that involved paddling over shipwrecks. The description sounded so fun and I was completely stoked to be on this trip. But as soon as I got to the wreck, I completely froze. I was literally petrified by a stronger fear than I’d ever experienced."
Due to her fear, Kelly Burch found herself the target of mockery from friends and classmates, even though she attempted to explain her phobia to them.
