Clown Sightings, Pennywise, IT & The Evil Legacy of John Wayne Gacy

from Broads Next Door · host Broads Next Door

Grab a red balloon but avoid storm drains, because today we’re getting a broader understanding of clowns. The early history, the clown sightings of 2016, Pennywise and Stephen King’s IT, why clowns scare us, and how the monster that was John Wayne Gacy paraded around as Pogo. What happens when adults don’t believe kids? What happens when we don’t keep track of the missing and most vulnerable among us? Was it really all just hysteria? Maybe we have good reason to be fearful of clowns but if we’re playing by Stephen King’s rules good will always beat evil in the end. Sources:Pennywise: The Story of IThttps://youtu.be/_kE108SMEWU?s...1994 John Wayne Gacy Execution https://youtu.be/B1ter-x2VGY?s...2016 Clown Sightings https://youtu.be/0-MJORDa5TQ?s...https://youtu.be/gWT5h2Nj_is?s...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support.
