One Night, A Man Dressed As A Clown Chased Him Through The Woods
This man is from the UK, and in 2016, there was a massive “killer clown epidemic” going on at the time.
One night, at about 10 p.m., he was walking through the woods to a party that was further in the woods, in a more private spot.
Because it was so late and he was within the trees, it was pitch black in the woods. He couldn’t see anything too far in front of where he was shining his phone’s flashlight.
Nothing seemed too out of the ordinary as he made his way through the forest to get to the party.
When he ventured deeper into the woods, there wasn’t an easy path for him to take, but he took the fastest way to get to his destination.
“As I got around midway through, I heard something to my left. I turned and saw a shadowy figure sitting on a fallen log,” he said.
Understandably, this made him incredibly nervous, but since it was so dark, he couldn’t tell if the moonlight was playing tricks on him and if it was only shadows or if it really was a person.
In order to investigate, he shined his phone’s flashlight at the figure, and he was horrified by what he saw.
“Sat there, alone in the middle of the woods, was a large-ish man dressed as a clown with full face paint and sporting the creepiest smile imaginable,” he explained.

He walked past the man dressed as a clown and frantically tried calling five people to no avail. Then, as he had his back to the man, he heard the clown stand up.
Obviously scared, he broke out into a run until he encountered a clear path ahead of him, which had a barbed wire fence running along the side of the path. As he was running, he kept his phone to his ear, pretending to be on the phone with a friend.
He didn’t dare look over his shoulder, but he could hear the clown running behind him as he tried to put as much distance between them as possible.
“When I got to the path, I jumped over the fence as fast as I could and sliced my hands open as I did so. I then turned around and kept running backward as I saw the clown, stood behind the fence just staring at me and smiling,” he shared.
After he was safe on the other side of the fence, he continued running all the way to the party, and he was obviously shaken by the experience.
During this time, rumors circulated like wildfire about people dressing up as clowns and harming people.
Even though he still doesn’t know whether the clown in the woods wanted to harm him or just terrify him, it was a horrifying situation that he will never forget.
What would you have done if you had been in his shoes?
