In May of 1986, a man only known by the alias “Dr. Hirshmere” was reported to have visited several hospitals along the midwestern United States. These visits to unknowing victims comprised of playing a VHS tape for several minutes as the victims were forced to stare at the grisly image of a clown.
Although there were no deaths, the victims of this so called “experiment” were left shaken and are still haunted by the image of the clown and the repeated drums have been ingrained into their brains.
The man in question has never been caught and only the VHS tape has been recovered.
