As a child, I have always been afraid of clowns and mascots. I am so unlike the other children who likes to have them in their birthday parties. Even when going to the mall, I will avoid those mascots that gives freebies to children.
Now, although I'm not afraid of them, I still don't like them.lol! I guess its just one of those things that I can't let go.

Two things I was afraid of when I was a child: clowns and the dark. And now that I am grown I am still not over these fears. I hate clowns, they are creepy and circuses are just weird and I find them vey disturbing-with the people, the music, etc. It is no wonder a lot of scary movies are based on clowns and circuses. As for the dark, LOL, yes that is true too. I hate being in the dark alone and I will never watch a scary movie or tv show alone in the dark. I literally run to my room and hide under the covers still. I still hear weird things and stuff, but I knwo it is my imagination and it only gets to me when I am in the house alone. If I have overnight company I am fine.

in my childhood, i used to watch a tv serial, in which a joker, who's actually a ghost, was the villian. i was fearing him so much that, even if i need to go to the toilet in the night, i won't. n just wait untill its morning. ha..ha..ha. well, now whenever im reminded of this fact, i just laugh aloud. now a days, i dont fear any super natural creatures. but sometimes, i feel (just a bit) uneasy when i go to the toilet after midnight.
