In the fall of 2016, a wave of fear swept across neighborhoods, schools, and entire cities. People reported seeing eerie figures dressed as clowns — lurking near woods, standing outside homes, even chasing strangers through the dark. What started as an online prank spiraled into a nationwide panic that left police departments scrambling and communities terrified. But was it all a hoax… or did something much darker hide behind the masks?

Join us as we dig into the Killer Clown Craze — the viral phenomenon that blurred the line between internet myth and real-world menace. We'll uncover where it began, how far it spread, and why so many people were left wondering if laughter and terror were closer than anyone realized.

🕯️ This October, we're celebrating a full month of spine-chilling cases and urban legends! From unsolved mysteries to real-life horror stories, each week brings a new reason to sleep with the lights on. Tune in, lock your doors, and get ready for our Month of Spooky Episodes.
