I find maniquins creepy looking... I say normal.

I like them, but some of them are life-like that they can be creepy. Needless to say, I wouldn't want to be locked in a museum at night. To me Mannequins are more scary:/

That's pretty normal, apparently. I read a study about phobias, and fear of statues (which is actually called "statue phobia" because fuck it, I guess) is pretty high on the list. Here's a graph with the data: (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101106124122/creepypasta/images/b/bf/Creepy_angel_statue_003.jpg)

Wax figures can be a little creepy. The more human a statue or sculpture looks, the more surreal. Normal.

Here's just a crazy suggestion: Carve or build a statue of your own out of wood (or soap if you don't have woodworking tools) - It's hard to fear something you created. Or if that 'll take to long or you don't feel artistic, buy one - it's hard to fear something when you still have the receipt.
Then you take a big hammer and smash it to bits and set the bits on fire.
Then every time you see a statue, imagine yourself destroying it. BTW, maybe you could use your phobia as a legal excuse for vandalizing public statues.

Have you seen "Weeping Angels" yet? XD

We all have our own phobias :) Don't worry. Unless it's inhibiting your life, there's no problem.

Lolol, go lay in traffic.
