Homey the Clown

Homey the Clown was a North American urban legend surrounding a killer clown, predating the "Creepy Clown Craze" by several years - the story sparked intense public controversy and even caused a localized hysteria, very much like the "Creepy Clown Craz" would many years later.

Despite this controversy the urban legend remains largely open to debate with no hard evidence existing to prove or disprove that Homey the Clown existed or if he was the product of a macabre imagination / prank.

The basics behind almost all Homey the Clown "sightings" were that a strange clown was seen stalking children, often trying to get them to enter his car or van, with legends soon spreading that this clown was a child-molester, serial-killer or deranged maniac out to sexually assault and murder children.
