Elephants perceive how close something is to them trough their feet, (vibrations) that's the only reason why.

Okay from what I have read its not so much that they are afriad its more to the point that mice sometimes have a habit of going up there trunk and it bothers them.

Same place that the idea came from that women are afraid of spiders.
Someone observed a single individual elephant that freaked out when it saw a mouse. Similarly, someone observed a single individual woman that freaked out when she saw a spider. That someone improperly made a stereotype based on the single observation.

I think they are easily startled but not actually afraid of mice in particular.
