Kampanaphobia is the fear of bells. The word is originated from Ancient Greek kampana, meaning bell, and Ancient Greek phobos, meaning fear.
This phobia is commonly triggered by a negative experience with bells, such as getting scared when bell rings, or getting injured when a person that reacts to bell bumps or knock them over.
Symptoms of kampanaphobia include panic, dread, feeling of doom, heart palpations, loss of control, mind and focus, and air hunger.
