That is really disturbing, clowns are frightening enough as they are without someone purposely buying one that is haunted! Unless they bought it as a present for someone haha watchout!

I used to have a Spanish Ventriloquist doll when I was a kid. He was called Pedro and was a present from my Nan from Spain. He was an old man with a black suit and cap. Well eerie. That gave me the heeby jeebys and we had to bin it. I wouldnt have it in the room...  |

One of my grandmothers had a chimpanze monkey doll that scared the life out of me!!!  . It looked really realistic. He was all furry except it had plastic hands, feet and face. The strange thing is that I now have a large collection of toy monkeys. I was also born in the year of the Monkey ( Chinese years). I faced my fears ;D. Now if I could only find a way to get over my fear of spiders. A collection of spiders  ( I don't think so  ) Sam |

I hate spiders as well so your not alone. I tried a bit of trying to get to know them last year and did lots of reading on the internet about what they are why they climb the walls etc. Kind if desensitising myself. When we had one in the house I just got as close as I could and studied it.
Still sh*t my pants though when I see a big one so not sure if any of that helped. ;D I think its built in and thats it.
Dont mind anything else though and I know people who hate frogs or I saw a programme with this guy who hated baked beans.
He was weird.....

I can just about handle the small spiders. I get as close as a cup over the top of them will reach . Had a Grade 3 spider in the flat few months ago (Grade 3 being seal the room up and don't go back in there for at least 5 years!). I'd sooner face the haunted clown any day then face a Grade 4 spider (pack what you can & move out) Sam ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Oh yeah, Steven, you've got to grade them. You have to know what to do in an emergency,
Just so you know,
Grade 1 - easily dealt with. A cup and a piece of paper over the top. Throw the spider outside, keep the cup and paper.
Grade 2 - a large bowl and piece of card. Throw the bowl, card and spider away.
You know Grade 3 & 4
Grade 5 - book a flight on the space shuttle & leave the planet,
Hope this helps you;
Sam ;D

Very helpful BUT There is no mention of the Dyson approach where you sneak up from behind and send the poor thing into a clyclone from 0 to 180 mphs in one second at the flick of a switch  I used that one at 2 in the morning when i lived at home. Soon woke the house up |

Phew!!!!!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one whose used the "wake the household in the early hours of the morning because you know there's a spider in the room and you can't sleep with your eyes open " approach. That was also when I lived at home. My mum was less then chuffed. However she did try the "throwing the glass at the spider & running away" approach that was less then effective. We both slept in her room that night Sam |

Well that one I woke up and it was on my face I jumped up and saw this thing the size of a small dog (slight exag) climbing the walls. Have you noticed how they always travel in pairs as well? |

My heart goes out to you, Steven. I think if I'd woken with one on my face and a small "dog" with eight legs climbing the walls, my heart would have stopped!!!! I think they travel in pairs for safety in numbers. While your zapping one up the hoover, the other can make good it's escape, to scare the s##t of you another day. Sam ;D |

Here are some interesting spider facts for you, you'll be glad to hear that swallowing spiders in your sleep is a myth, although it could happen  and the largest UK spider has a body 1cm long with legs of 12cm's!!! www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Article3416.htmlSimon. P.S. the clown reminds me of my Dad ;D I don't think it looks scary at all. |
