Megan Fox has admitted that she has some unusual phobias.

Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, the actress said that she is scared of the dark and has a phobia of dry paper.

"I've been afraid of the dark all my life," she explained. "I leave the lights on all the time and if the light is off, I have to run across the room to get to the switch.

"I can't walk through a dark room. I'm afraid of what I can't see."

Fox added that she always keeps a glass of water beside her when she is reading as she does not like dry paper.

"Some people don't like nails across a chalkboard because it gives them goosebumps," she said. "I don't like dry paper. Scripts, newspapers or anything that's not laminated, I have to keep licking my fingers.

"If I'm reading I have a cup of water to dip my fingers in. I'm really neurotic."

Fox recently admitted that she listens to Britney Spears to conquer her fear of flying.
