The Clowns

This Halloween episode, we follow the phantom clown phenomenon to its beginning: the 1980s, where sightings cropped up in cities across the United States, and the fears of children caused quite the stir--and a serious problem for local van owners.

One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.
