And be sure to stay till the end of this video because I will be replying to a bunch of your
comments.
A lot of people are absolutely terrified of clowns.
I don’t blame them.
There is just something about a clown’s face that gives me the creeps.
It doesn’t help that there are a lot of horror movies that have killer clowns in them.
So, let’s take a look at the top 10 scary clown urban legends.
Starting off this list in at number 10 is Chicago’s Homey the clown.
There was a ton of rumors about a clown who would lure children into his white van near
schools.
So many people in Chicago began to believe that these rumors were true, and some of them
even reported seeing Homey the clown to the police but he was never caught.
According to this urban legend, Homey was a kidnapper and rapist who enjoyed dressing
in a clown costume because he wanted children to trust him.
Homey was always nearby and you couldn’t walk home without seeing his creepy white
van following you home.
Because of this urban legend, so many parents took time off from work to pick up their kids
from school because they didn’t want them to get abducted and murdered by Homey the
clown.
Ronald McDonald dolls peep into number 9.
Yeah, I think it’s safe to say that Ronald McDonald is a creepy looking doll and I would
never want to meet him in real life.
But according to this story, a man and his wife were driving on a deserted road in the
middle of nowhere when they saw something really terrifying.
In the middle of the street, they saw dozens of creepy looking Ronald McDonald dolls scattered.
This incident took place around midnight and apparently this is a very popular scheme used
by gangs, abductors, and rapists to lure women out of their cars.
Strangely enough, all of these dolls disappeared the next morning without a trace.
I’m pretty sure if I was a woman and I saw these creepy dolls on the road, I definitely
wouldn’t get out.
If anything, I would put my foot on the gas peddle and motor out of there.
A clown armed with a gun fires into number 8.
There are a bunch of stories about a crazed maniac dressed like a clown who would knock
on people’s doors.
He would be carrying a bouquet of flowers and two silver balloons, so surely you would
want to open the door for him.
Or would you…Once you open the door, he would shoot you point blank in the forehead
with a .38 caliber revolver.
This clown doesn’t seem too friendly, does he?
Well once this urban legend gained popularity, a real-life copycat murderer decided to try
this out for himself.
The mystery of this crazed killer clown remains a mystery to this day.
Number 7 we have The clown doll.
There is a very scary looking clown doll named Vincent Hitchcock who is said to be possessed
by a spirit of a child.
A woman from Oregon first discovered this scary doll in an online auction and she collects
creepy things so she added this doll to her collection for $500.
Shortly after she placed Vincent in a corner of the room, she began to experience strange
things around her home.
Sometimes the clown would be in a different position or he would be missing.
Other times Vincent would blink his eyes and watch her as she slept.
She left a tape recorder next to him and when she went to listen to it, she heard “I’m
going to kill you.”
Well, then…I would tie Vincent to a bowling ball and drop him in a river that was 100
miles away from my house and I would never buy creepy dolls ever again.
Killer clown chain e-mail makes it into number 6.
A chain letter or e-mail is a message that tries to convince the reader to forward the
letter to as many people as possible.
Originally chain letters were sent through the mail, but now with the internet, they
are becoming highly circulated through e-mail as well.
So, there was one version of a killer clown chain e-mail that warns the person that if
they don’t send this e-mail to 10 other people within 5 minutes, the clown will be
standing next to your bed at 3am with a knife in his hand.
Well, that’s probably the creepiest thing I have ever heard in a while.
If I got this e-mail I would send it to twenty people just to make sure.
The scary clown statue haunts us in at number 5.
This creepy urban legend goes something like this.
A teenage girl was babysitting for a family one night.
The parents had a huge collection of clown memorabilia, statues, and figurines so they
decided to put all of their clown things into one room.
This story is already scaring me.
So, after the parents left, the children and the babysitter were playing in the clown room.
A lot of those clowns were just statues and some were even life-sized.
There was one creepy clown that was sitting in the rocking chair and the babysitter felt
as though his eyes were following her as she moved around the room.
She called the parents to ask if she could move the clown in the rocking chair to another
room because it was scaring the kids and the parents said to get out of the house immediately
and to go to the neighbor’s house.
Frightened and confused, the babysitter grabbed the kids and ran to the neighbor’s house.
The parents later explained that they were being stalked by a mentally ill man for quite
some time and he really wanted to hurt this family.
One time he even snuck into their house and tried to kidnap the children but failed.
And now this time, he dressed up in a clown costume, painted his face and waited patiently
until he had the opportunity to kill them.
Hmm, haven’t you ever heard of investing into a heavy-duty alarm system?
Next in at number 4 is Zozzaby the stinky clown.
This urban legend focuses on the true story of Frederick Zozzaby who was a clown that
tragically committed suicide but legend has it that his ghost remains on Earth, haunting
poor, innocent children.
A pair of brothers woke up in the middle of the night because they heard extremely creepy
laughter.
Once they opened their eyes, they saw a tall man dressed in a one-piece maroon suit and
a painted-on clown face standing in their doorway.
If that’s not scary enough, the clown moved closer to their beds and his face had a crooked
nose, hallow black eyes, and heavy clown makeup.
This ghost is said to be extremely evil and if you look into his eyes, you will die.
Oh, and you can tell it’s the ghost of Zozzaby because he leaves a terrible odor behind that
smells like embalming fluid.
Creepy clowns hiding in the woods is in at number 3.
According to the urban legend, a mother returns home from work and her youngest son said that
he has seen a bunch of clowns whispering in the woods near their apartment complex.
He said that he could hear them laughing and they were trying to get him to come into the
woods to play with them.
Initially, the mother just brushes this off and blames it on his wild imagination but
later that night, her oldest son said that he heard chains rattling and banging on the
front door.
And when he looked through the peephole, he saw a white painted face with a big red nose
and devil looking eyes.
Apparently, a lot of local children went missing in this area because the killer clowns in
the woods convinced them to come and play with them.
Now in at number 2 The phantom clowns.
In this urban legend, clowns are driving in vans that are painted in either black or blue
and they were known to abduct and murder children in the neighborhood.
Most of these phantom clown rumors mostly circulated around young children who have
even claimed that they have seen these clown vans lurking near their school and homes.
Investigators couldn’t find any evidence of killer clowns in vans who abducted children
so that’s where the name phantom clowns come from.
But those who have seen the vans with killer clowns inside have also seen them with swords,
knives, and guns.
And anyone who was brave enough to look inside of the van was never seen or heard from again.
Finally in at our number 1 spot is Pogo the killer clown.
In Chicago, Illinois, there was a charismatic man who dressed up as Pogo the clown at charitable
events such as fundraisers, parades and children’s parties.
But he had a sinister agenda.
He would lure children into his house with the promise of giving them candy, presents
or money.
Once inside, he would abuse them both physically and mentally.
He was an evil clown who sexually assaulted, tortured and murdered at least 33 teenage
boys and young men.
He would bury his victims in the crawl space of his home and continue to perform at children’s
parties dressed as Pogo the clown.
Does this urban legend sound familiar?
What if I told you that this actually happened, and pogo the clown was actually John Wayne
Gacy.
Yep, this killer clown really did exist until he was executed by lethal injection back in
1994.
This is exactly why I don’t trust clowns.
Well, there you guys have it…
