This fear even carries over into videogames and stuff. ;-;
The ghost shark (that would appear whenever you fell into a body of water) in Banjoo Kazooie scared me so much, that I had trouble with water levels in lots of games. It wasn't insta-death, but it was scarier that you had to panic and try to leave the water before the shark caught you. .__.
Also, Wet Dry World in Mario 64. It's supposed to be a town, but it's just huge, concrete and empty with NO PEOPLE. They all drowned or what?
