First: No, no scientific procedures. They mainly just... turn into them. Nobody can really explain how or why these strange creatures walk the Earth.

Second: A phobia's abilities are simply the ones it was given. Catoptrophobia's abilities include high speed attacks, and being able to rip one or two of those knives out of her as defense. But, many phobias are simply passive, and don't really attack. Those, you can even befriend those.

Third: This is a pretty new concept, and I guess it would be really unseen in the paranormal world.

Fourth: PIE would react to any phobia the same way you'd react to a deformed person: Scared, then pitying.

Fifth: Well, phobias don't really hang around ghosts that much. If a ghost were to see one though, they probably wouldn't want to interfere with it, since if you find a Spectrophobia you are pretty much screwed to high heaven.

Sixth: Each phobia has it's own behaviors depending on it's past life. Some behaviors are common amongst phobias, though, such as Atelophobics being very bent on finding a mirror and cleaning off their clothes, if they even have any. Hagiophobics, (hagiophobia: fear of saints and holy things) will generally stay around churches. And, all phobias still need to eat in some way. For some, it's hard because they don't exactly show to have mouths or they have some foreign object shoved down their throat (like my Hagiophobia character, Thistle. She has a bunch of crosses impaled into her, and one giant golden and slightly bloody cross shoved down her throat).

Seventh: Some do. Some don't. It depends on their circumstances before turning. That's all I can say.
