The Clown Gang – 1960s🤡 #animation #educational #historytok #scary #horrorstory #knowledge #facts #DidYouKnow

This is a true story. In the late 1960s, dozens of children across the U.S. began reporting the same thing. A man in a clown suit, standing outside schools, hiding near parks, or offering rides in a van with no windows. Police dismissed the stories at first. They said it was mass hysteria, the prank, but then kids started disappearing. The man was described as tall, wearing a faded clown costume, red gloves, and face paint that looked wrong smudged almost rotting. Parents reported seeing a massive white van parked near playgrounds, always moving just before police arrived. Some claimed they saw more than one clown inside, laughing, watching. Newspapers refused to print the story. No official reports were released, but in 1968, a boy from Ohio went missing after saying, "The funny man asked me to see his balloon. They never found the child." Over the next year, similar sightings happened in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Some say it was a group, a gang that used the costumes as a cover. Others believe it was something darker hidden beneath the paint. To this day, no one was ever arrested, no names, no faces, just drawings and old case files, all showing the same thing, a clown with black eyes and a smile that never moved.
