  1. This is when the phobia of clowns was born…..

    List of my phobias:
    Bad Smell/Breath
    Clowns
    Spiders
    Snakes
    Bears
    Hurricanes
    School Shootings
    My 2nd Grade teacher
    Volleyball
    Social Media
    Instagram
    Creepy Schools
    Ghosts
    and that’s just a small list of it

  2. Oh I remember this. A gang in my city dressed as clowns would carry around crowbars, metal bats etc on the night of Halloween and nights before and after. Schools sent home notes to parents that they shouldn’t be walking home alone from school. It was really horrifying.
