The Black Vault

Yeah....went to the youtube link. Very real for some. All I can contribute to this is my own quirky suspected screen memories which include...........a deeply protective loving blonde female, dolls, spindley arms and legs, some cartoon characters, iron lungs and operating room accessories (those speed bag looking breathing things that expand and contract and here is the most rediculous and crazy one..............Mr. Peanut, with the monacle and spindley arms and legs and sardonic smile, also has eyes that don't blink. Memories of forehead to forehead stare downs with my younger brother. These memories are associated with unexplainable events while very young in the fifties which would be too long a text to acheive now. Yeah, screen memories seem to be valid at times.

Could be they had an experience like I did, which had nothing to do with alien abduction. When I was little I had a clown chase me at a parade when I was little. He had an invisible dog and he knew I was trying to get away from it, but he came after me anyway. To this day I can't stand clowns and don't find them funny. While not afraid, if some clown frightened a child, they might not remember and just end up with a fear of them.

I blaim the movie, Poltergiest and Steven King, in general, for clown phobias. I personally, like clowns.

I think the clown phobia existed before that. Maybe they had clown phobias. I know my issues with clowns existed before they came out with their stuff.
