People can be afraid of anything and usually, it is due to a lack of knowledge or false information.
So when people are scared of hypnosis or hypnotists it is often down to misleading representation, such as movies or stage shows. Let us look at these false ideas, one by one.

Movies have often demonised hypnosis or portrayed the idea of an evil hypnotist.
Recently I enjoyed watching a cartoon movie with my young daughter, where a controlling person invented hypno glasses to control superheros. In reality this has never been done.
