Freaky Friday: Episode 42

A town founded on its underground riches was plagued by bad luck. Mass casualty events filled the place’s only graveyard. One family chose to honor their departed loved one in a unique way – they built a motel adjacent to the cemetery decorated with an onslaught of clowns. Thousands of figurines outfitted in red noses and giant shoes greet visitors to this roadside inn, but the proximity to the burial ground has generated tales of paranormal activity. Is this ghost business merely a circus act meant to attract visitors or does something horrible lurk beneath these curly wigs? This week’s episode is The Clown Motel.
