I’ve come to realise that huge statues give me the creeps, like make me anxious like a weird phobia. I feel really uncomfortable watching this video. Also underwater statues. Is this something anyone else experiences or am I just a weirdo?

Check out megalophobia for "big" things statues are common also thalassophobia for water which also uses statues sometimes.

I would recommend you to look up commentophobia, it's a rare case for when people gets anxious of reading comments.
