One of my fears is that people will spread nonsense about what scares others.
At postpickle.com today there was a post by Mridul Dubey titled #FaceYourFearsDay Top 14 Things People Dread The Most that claimed:
“In a survey conducted across more than 7 countries, people revealed their worst fears and things that give them the creeps.”
But those percentages instead came from a well-known 1973 Bruskin survey just of U. S. adults I described in the most popular post on this blog titled The 14 Worst Human Fears in the 1977 Book of Lists: where did this data really come from?.
The image was modified from one of a trust promoter’s nightmare at the Library of Congress web site.
