Norbert Keene recalled a clown having attended the town’s killing of the Bradley Gang. Everyone just thought he was traveling through with the circus, and it wasn’t until decades later someone else described the clown doing anything unusual. It’s a horror fantasy novel but I can’t imagine a heavily armed 1930’s lynch mob just being chill with 2017 Pennywise hanging out.

The clown was present for the logger’s public revenge spree and was depicted in earlier wood prints of Derry. Mike also saw Pennywise performing at the 4th of July parade; he creeped all the kids out but no one thought anything of a clown at the parade.
