The Clown Killer
In 2011 in the neighborhood of Dawson, Iowa a group of children started to disappear, they disappeared near a park, the kids would go missing for three days and their bodies dumped at the park. Some people blamed the homeless guy in the park, even though he was harmless. Police and locals believed it to be a drifter or a pedophile, or worse, no one really knew who could be taking kids, the police had no leads, no evidence, and nothing to go on except a word of a homeless man who claimed to see a masked man in the park wearing big shoes. There had been rumors of a crazy clown who’d gone nuts escaped from a local mental ward and began taking and killing children. The word of the homeless guy meant nothing because he was known as drunk or crazy, he’d been watching this man, watching him. He’d go to the police and tell of what he seen but the police just passed it off as nothing. The homeless man knew some day the police would believe him. He lived in the alley right by the park and he saw all the action, the homeless guy was old and went by the name Danby he was old but he was smart as a whip and he always kept his eye on crime in area. One night a couple decides to go and stay a night at hotel and try out a new babysitter and about an hour after they left for a night, after about an hour the kids decide to sneak outside but they saw a creepy man with a mask hanging around and changed their minds, they decided to stay in their rooms and watch tv instead. He’d been watching their house for about an hour now and he was about to make his move. In the hallway upstairs the window was opened and there a nice breeze it was summertime, the creepy clown that was stalking their house decided to climb in through the opened window. He climbed in slowly trying not to make any noise; he sneaks down the hallway and hides in the parent’s bedroom. The parents realizing, they forgot to leave their cell for the babysitter, calls and checks in; the babysitter asks them if she can watch a scary movie in their room and the parents gave their consent. The babysitter took one look at the clown statue and was creeped out, so she threw a sheet over it, all of a sudden, the statue began move… he lunged the babysitter and stabbed her, the babysitter threw up her arms to defend herself but the clown kept stabbing her over and over and over. The babysitter dropped the phone and the parents could hear screaming in the background and were very concerned. The kids were alone in the house with this crazy clown killer, hearing the screams they quietly and carefully crept to the bathroom and locked themselves in. The clown killer was on the hunt for the kids singing a creepy song, he checked every room. He went to the bathroom and took his knife and tried to hack the door down, he stabs it repeatedly he see the kids and he laughs so evilly. The kids are terrified and screaming, the clown breaks down the door and attacks the kids, one of the littlest ones runs in between the clown’s legs and tries to get away, the clown grabs the sister and begins stabbing her, she blocks him with her arm and cuts it. She lets out a scream “AAAHHHHH”, she yells her little brother to run next door to the neighbor’s but it’s too late the clown grabs him and carries him outside to the van and tied him up. The clown comes back for the girl but she disappeared. “I’m going to find you and hack you to pieces”. The clown says. The girl was hiding in the closet watching, the clown went looking for her. “I see you” The clown said in his creepiest voice. He opened the door and saw the little girl; there she was looking so tiny and terrified. He was loving this; he couldn’t wait to sink his knife into her tiny little body and carry it to the park to be dumped. He was just about to plunge the knife into the little girl’s chest when the homeless man came running upstairs at the clown, he yelled run little girl run. The girl was about to run and she watched the man that tried to save her life get stabbed over and over. She watched his lifeless, bloody, lifeless body slump to the floor. She ran as fast as she could out the door, the clown followed her, he grabbed her leg causing her fall and everything went black. He picked her up and took her the van where he killed both the little brother and her, stabbing them over and over. When he had finished, he cleaned up and dumped the bodies in the park posing them both on the swings. The parents who were in a panic drove home as fast as they could, they come to an opened door; they called for the babysitter and their kids and went they went upstairs they were devasted nothing would prepare them for what they were about to see. They found an almost dead homeless person in their home, he mumbled to the parents “ I tried to save them, I tried but he got them anyway. Who got them? They asked. The clown. The homeless man said. He took them to his van and killed them.” The homeless man passed out. The found dead babysitter covered in a bloody sheet, and their kids were missing. They called the police and told what had happened, they come over right away, they police department formed a search party and went looking for the missing kids. The police had found dead kids sitting on the swings, the parent’s ran over to them and cried. About two weeks later the police found the bloody knife and the killer clown was arrested and convicted of murder on multiple accounts and now resides in prison where he is serving term till this very day.
