We have expanded this season to reach deeper into the woods. Are you ready to Face Your Fears at CarnEvil??? Past years:
There is again something strange happening in the woods by Cardinal Lanes on Shipyard Blvd. Drivers in Wilmington, NC have reported seeing clowns walking into the woods. Uber drivers have reported quite a few strange characters being dropped off by the woods at Cardinal Lanes Bowling Alley as well. Residents keep hearing what sounds like Carnival music coming from the woods but nothing can be seen. Many have started to fear that Dr. Luke Von Witz is at it again. This is starting to sound "very similar" to last year says one unidentified resident.
Police are definitely on edge as more and more reports of strange activity come in on a daily basis. They definitely feel like Dr. Luke Von Witz is back to his old tricks. Detective James Klowny has urged residents to stay out of the woods. He said "There is definitely something strange going on in the woods. Until we get to the bottom of it, I urge everyone to stay away. I have been in those woods during the day and they are creepy to say the least. I keep thinking I see someone or something out of the corner of my eye but just haven't been able to track it down". He said that he has found some very odd items strewn in the woods, "almost like a carnival was here".
Detective James Klowny said they will get to the bottom of it and if it is in fact Dr. Luke Von Witz, he "wont let him get away again". He is also looking into several reports around the country from the various Circus' that have shut down. It seems that at their last performances all of the Circus' have left the same message. "We'll see you again real soon, this is not our whits end. You can't pin us down for long. The cardinal will fly again on Halloween." Detective James Klowny thinks there is a connection to Dr. Luke Von Witz.
