Answer» When Douglas was three or four years old, he had gone with his father to the beach in California. Huge waves knocked him down and swept over him. He was buried in water, his breath was gone and he felt frightened. Since then he started fearing water. The YMCA pool incident further strengthened the fear in his mind taking a strong hold over his personality. One day as he was sitting at the edge of the pool, a big boy about eighteen tossed him into the deep water. He landed in a sitting water, frightened but not yet frightened out of his wits. Planned to come up but failed, thrice he attempted to come up to the surface but in vain. By now, he was seized by stark terror firmly and he let himself slip into oblivion only to be saved later but the fear of water had taken complete hold over him and he avoided it whenever possible. |
