The Skyscraper Phenomenon (DSC9825) - a photo on Flickriver

View LARGER On Black

Acrophobia is simply a severe fear of heights. Now being afraid of heights is a common and sometimes appropriate feeling. Talking about living in high places it reminds me of a story of a friend who came back from New York City:

A screeching, gnawing sound interrupted our conversation. "Oh that’s not the wind, that’s the building swaying," he explained in a whisper. "It woke me up during the night. I thought someone was actually in my room. Then I thought it was the rain. You get used to it. You can actually feel the building go slightly to the right and then slightly to the left." He seemed fascinated with this skyscraper phenomenon in this windy city.
