I don't have Coulrophobia. Still I give a description of the phobia for the benefit of all AB users. . 'Coulrophobia is abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. The term is common, but it does not appear to be used in psychology. [1] It is common among children, but is also sometimes found in teenagers and adults as well. Sufferers sometimes acquire a fear of clowns after having a bad experience with one personally, or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media. A design study carried out by the University of Sheffield found that children are frightened by clown-themed décor in hospitals. [2] Coulrophobia can also be said to extend to a fear of covering up one's face with paint—the idea of hiding recognisable features under a layer of facepaint can also unsettle coulrophobia sufferers.' http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Coulrophobia&gwp=13
