- What is the weirdest fact you know? Certain fears can be inherited through the generations. They did a study on mice where they released a certain smell and would then give the mice a small shock, which scared them. The grandchildren of those mice, who were never shocked showed major signs of distress and fear when they were exposed to the same smell. So, if you fear something in life, if might be because of your ancestors.
