One time I saw a sports countdown show talking about bizarre plays. One of the commentators was John Salley (the basketball player), and he said that mascots creeped him out, explaining, "You don't know what they're looking at, and sometimes they're talking to you through their neck!" People afraid of mascots, you are not alone!

It really says something that they can take what sounds like a segment you'd see on a Halloween episode of Saturday Night Live and turn it into a gripping horror story.
