Fear of Clowns - By Rachael Whittaker

Many people are scared of clowns, me including. What create this fear though? The fear of clowns is actually a term called 'coulrophobia'. Some people believe that it is due to a bad past experience that happened during young childhood, although it can carry on through who teenage years and adulthood. Sometimes the fear has just developed from the media. I think the actual clown image is not appealing to some people because it's not knowing the person. As the the face and body is disguised to know show their identity so that could be a main reason. That its too much of a mystery that it can literally freak you out.
