CLOWNS GANG
You must have seen on the internet (and probably been terrified of) the story of macabre clowns that appeared in several countries, including Brazil. But are you thinking that this wave of sinister clowns is now? A few years ago, a blue Kombi traveled around Brazil without raising suspicion. But one day, children got into that vehicle and were never seen again.
Legend has it that the boys were targeted by the clown gang, which stole organs. The bandits would take advantage of the children's empathy for the comic figure of the circus and draw them to their deaths.
This story was so widespread that several clowns lost their jobs and suffered death threats. It is not for nothing that the phobia of clowns arose at the time when this legend was at its peak.
THE BLACK COVER
In the 1970s, the residents of Juiz de Fora (MG) were reportedly terrorized by a mysterious man who walked the city covered in a black cloak. As if that were not already bizarre enough, there were still reports of people attacked for this obscure being.
The population, of course, panicked. Groups of inhabitants were formed to hunt the “black cape” - the result of doing justice with their own hands was disastrous: people who had nothing to do with history (like a priest, confused because of his cassock) were punished . Even the army tried to solve the mystery.
But the case seemed to resolve itself, putting an end to hysteria: at the edge of the river that cuts through the city, a cover and a farewell note from the suspect, who claimed to be misunderstood by society, were found.
