There is a horror legend that says that a long time ago, there was a circus that stood on a huge vacant lot. Many artists, comedians and acrobats worked on it, but among all of them stood out a clown, who wore a very quirky costume and who loved to make practical jokes. His mere appearance and sense of humor aroused fear in children and a macabre fascination in adult audiences.

One day, a beautiful girl who was a dancer came to work in the circus. I didn't have anyone in the world, but I was perfectly capable of dancing for a living. From the first moment he saw her, the clown fell in love with her and did everything possible to win her heart.


However, the young woman was indifferent to all her displays of affection. He didn't like the heavy way in which he made fun of other people for fun, nor his insistence that began to border on obsession.


Without realizing it, the clown's love turned into a dark desire.


One day, she found the dancer talking to another circus actor, a very kind acrobat with whom she was in love. When the clown saw them kissing, he felt jealousy take hold of him and full of anger, he vowed to take revenge on the girl for rejecting her affection.

That same night before performing, the girl went to take a bath to get ready. She didn't notice the evil clown, who hid in her dressing room, she waited for the best time to attack her.


When he discovered it, it was too late. The clown mercilessly slit her throat and after committing the crime, committed suicide next to her lifeless body. Their bodies would not be found until hours later, at the end of that night's performance. Before dying, the infamous clown had cut off the dancer's head in a fit of violence.

And no matter how much they searched, this one was never found.

Over time, people stopped going to the circus and it closed its doors. The tent was removed from the land and in that same place a large boarding school was built. It wasn't too long before the children who lived in school began to notice all kinds of strange and scary things.


It was said that in one of the bathrooms of the institution, the macabre song of a woman was sometimes heard and that she called them by name. Then, if you went down at night to the school auditorium, you could see how a headless body danced on stage. The scariest thing, however, happened in the yard, while everyone was sleeping or trying to sleep.


There, a horrible clown dressed in strange clothes appeared, who laughed in a maniacal way and played with the head of his beloved in his hands.


Of course, the boarding school authorities never believed a single word of those rumors. Or rather, they preferred to act as if they weren't real.
