What is the reason for the fear of clowns?
Heya, The reason for the fear of clowns is still very unknown but this is called coulrophobia and scientists think the reason for the fear of clowns is because, of having a bad experience with one personally or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media in a ‘design study’ carried out by the university of sheffield found that children are frightened of themed decor in the hospitals 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. And that is basically why a lot of people are scared of clowns and have a fear and thats all they know at the moment.
