@uberbatman – My coulrophobia began when I was a child and saw Poltergeist for the first time. There’s a scene where the son tries to throw a blanket or a shirt over the head of this creepy-looking clown doll. He misses, and then suddenly the clown is under the bed and his long arms come out from the bed and strangle the kid. Freaky even by today’s movie standards.
I don’t have any phobias and i just cant understand why people have some of the phobias they have. Like if its a traumatic childhood experience it makes sense but otherwise i dont get it, because these same people who are afraid of a little spider that is harmless will drive 90 mph in a car without thinking anything of it.
Sudden, unexpected, loud popping noises like a balloon pop or gun shot. A while back, I took some kind of karma test and it said I had this phobia because in my past life, I was a soldier in the Civil War.
@Lightbringer~ thanks for bringing the thread back on tract… I’m afraid of wasps, spiders, snakes, and a sudden huge loss of gravity-like on roller coasters.
Centipedes. Ugh. Even the word sends shivers down my back. That and flags that are disproportionate to their flag poles. I’m not being facetious. They freak me out.
