Now for the Clown Ghost:
- It is warned that if you spot a ghost clown in your circus, it was a sign of bad luck. Ever wonder where that superstition originated? That is what I am about to tell you. See, way back in the early 1900s, there was a circus performer by the name of Harry who sought the spotlight. But, he was relegated to the circus clown act. He wasn't satisfied with this. He wanted more out of his life in the circus. One day his chance came when the circus' opening act strangely disappeared (no doubt the work of the clown). With no time to change out of the clown getup, he went out into center stage. He knocked it out of the park with his hypnosis act. Making the most cowardly individual the bravest. Having people perform death defying stunts and not having a clue to the amazing performance once snapped out of the trance. Audiences were amazed by it. Of course, this act only worked on people with minds who could be easily influenced. Those more headstrong than others or had higher intelligence were less likely to be put in a trance. Soon he was known as "Harry the Amazing Clown Hypnotist". Determined to keep his fame by any means necessary, he resorted to sabotaging the other acts in secret. All so that the spotlight would remain on him. In order to keep the public's interest, he went to great heights (both literal and figurative) to outdo each of his own previous performances. One day in the middle of a performance, one of the circus goers was chosen as a volunteer for the brief break from the main act. Harry did so w/o the audience member's consent and made the man perform as a monkey for the crowd. After the show was over, the man and his friends jumped him and beat him to death. Now his spirit lingers on into the present day, being the circus equivalent of Scary Mary. That’s the story anyways, as no one really knows where the spooky spectre originated. All they know is that once you spot him, you might as well pack up and leave. Cause it is seen as bad luck in the circus world as bad stuff always occurs shortly after one is spotted.
