okay.. so i'm terrified of clowns, yes, i'm 23 and HATE them.. they scare the S**T outta me.. So I'm at my desk working away, and hear someone come in the office... It's an EMS he is picking up some medical supplies.. well I look out my window.. and nearly crap myself... there are two clowns, TWO, with their faces up in my office window dancing and acting crazy.. I run out screaming... My heart felt like it was gonna stop beating, I was glad that EMS was in here.. I thought I was gonna need CPR... So the clowns walk away from the window and go get in the Ambulance... WTF!!!

    I'm not a big fan of clowns ever since IT came out but I can't say I would be screaming....BUT....


    If you wanna scare the crap out of me, all it will take is a spider!!! I'm all set with 8 legged creepy crawlies!!

    Not a fan of clowns either. But what I'm really scared of is cockroaches. No other bugs bother me, but if I ever see a roach or a waterbug I hit the ceiling and hang by my fingernails. VILE!!!!

    Crowds - mine is crowds. Too many people to watch all at the same time.

    Wow my phobia has many names (just like Legion - For We Are Many!!)

    Fear of crowded public places like markets is: Agoraphobia.
    Fear of crowds or mobs: Enochlophobia, Demophobia or Ochlophobia.

    I don't blame you on the clowns. I watched IT too many times when I was little. Yikes!!

    And the fear of clowns is called: Coulrophobia
  • My fear is falling. NOT heights. As long as I have a railing or something to hold me I could be on the tallest point of the world. but not if there isn't anything to keep me from falling. I can't stand on or jump off my desk!!!!
  • fear of being buried alive/fear of being buried in an unmarked grave. makes NO sense (as phobias usually do) but the idea of that scares the living *kitten* out of me! D8

    personally i like clowns. but i have a very odd and slightly disturbing obsession with circuses...sooooo.... yeah.

    oh! and its NOT claustrophobia, i love tiny closed in spaces....its the being buried thing.

    I'm scared of fish. The kind in aquariums, the kind in fish tanks, the kind in the buckets on the dock, the kind on the platter at the Chinese restaurant... all give me the heebie-jeebies.

    Some of my "friends" once put a goldfish in my water bottle as a joke. Incredibly, stupidly cruel. Hmmm, now that I think of it, none of them turned into long-term friends.

    I'm not a fan of crowds since I can't watch everyone but it's not something I really fear either.

    My big fear is birds loose in enclosed places.

    A bird in a cage is fine,
    a bird outside is fine,
    a bird loose in my house with its wings clipped is fine.

    BUT if a bird flies into my barn I freak out, I'm so afraid it's going to attack me.... my husband usually finds me screaming bloody murder curled up UNDER one of my horses hiding.

    My daughter is also afraid of clowns. My phobia is bees. I was waiting a the bus stop after church last Sunday with my son and a bee came flying around me and I almost had a panic attack. I kept trying to get away from it and it kept following me but finally I got far enough away from it and it left me alone. Those things and big flys.
