The story of Laughing Jack was first posted on a popular online social community for artists, DeviantArt, by user SnuffBomb. He describes Laughing Jack as a clown with “long hair and a big swirly cone nose. He’s got long arms and baggy pants, with stripy socks, and he always smiles.Laughing Jack befriends children as their imaginary friend before slicing them open and replacing their organs with candy.
In July of 2015, a 12-year-old Elkhart, Indiana girl who started her apartment on fire and fatally stabbed her stepmother said the online horror story clown named 'Laughing Jack' told her to do it, according to reports.
After the murder, the authorities had difficulty placing the child in a mental health facility due to her age. Her public defender said 16 psychiatric facilities refuse to take her and claims she 'has been failed by everyone'. The court documents also revealed the girl, who has not been named because of her age, begged her father for help months before she allegedly stabbed her 50-year-old stepmother to death July 23, 2015.
LYRICS:
I'm just a little girl, I'm twelve years old I told my Daddy, It gets so cold I made a friend and I let him in He looked so tall.........He looked so thin
He's got a friend, his name is Laughing Jack Sometimes he won't get OFF MY BACK!
He's always whisperinging in my ear
I really hate, the things I hear
Chorus
I don't want a gumdrop heart
I'm gonna do my part
The flames light the night
The blade.....let it end this fight
With Laughing Jack
Inst. Break
I'm just a little girl, I'm twelve years old And now my step mom is icy cold But still the voices, they're oh so clear I wish they'd get the hell OUT OF HERE!
And now they have to put me away
But all these places said that I can't stay So now my sleeves are tied around my back Inside a little room, with Laughing Jack
