What traumatic experiences causes megalophobia?

I haven’t looked into this, but why/how do people with megalophobia develop it. What sorts of traumatic experiences cause it? I vaguely remember the first time I felt fear over imagining giants that didn’t exist, but nothing really traumatic happened.

Imagine driving a 4X4 on a beach with the Atlantic on one side and a gigantic sand dune on the other.
