Kitzania is an indoor amusement park for kids. They have locations into Dad,
Mexico, Monterey, Guadalajara, even in Dallas, Chicago, Santa Fe in
the US. On July twenty nineteen, Kitzania went viral on Twitter. A
user and a now deleted thread tweeted a pretty creepy memory of Kitzania. I'm
Christina and this is Espuki stories where every story is based on real events.
Listen Escuchia at your own risk. A Twitter threat from a user in Mexico
share that she used to go to Kitzana and Monterey as a child. She
and a group of friends were playing in a ventilation tunnel when a clown scared
them out of nowhere. When she returned to Kitzania later, she asked an
employee where the clown was, and the employee told her that no clowns have
worked there. Ever, she asked if anyone else had weird experiences like this
at Kitzana, and to her surprise, many replied that they had also been
scared by a clown and the tunnels is. There are similar replies way Viola

user from Sudha, Mexico. You still worked there, and he remembers running
into a group of kids that were terrified of the tunnel section. They kept
hearing there was a clown there that stole money. He thought it was a
joke, but then more and more kids began saying the same thing. They
were all scared of this clown. He thought maybe his co workers were messing
with him, and he went to them and asked, like, hey,
who's telling kids this clown line? And all the co workers swore up and
down that they would never they have never said this to any kid. He
never saw anything himself, but he's certain that all those kids were scared of
something in those tunnels. And there were hundreds of replies in this thread from
people in Guadala, Harada, Mexico, all the locations sharing similar tales.
So I don't know what do we think mass hysteria. Was there an actual
clown at every single Kidzania? I don't know. The following story is based
on these experiences. Indoor play places are super popular, especially when it's raining
or for birthday parties. As a kid, Jenny knew only the coolest kids
had their parties in these places. Some of these were pretty basic compared to
others. The best one back then was Kitzania. Keitsania had it all.
It was like a city just for kids. There was a construction area with
kids sized tools, another area with a doctor's office, a veterinary clinic.
It sounds weird, but it was a lot of fun and they had the
best pizza. Jenny grew up in a bigger family compared to a lot of
her friends. Her friends each had maybe one or two siblings, but Jenny's
family had eight family members, six kids and her parents, so they didn't
go to Kitzania very often, especially not for every single birthday party. Somehow,
most birthdays all fell in the last four months of the year September through
December, and all of the siblings were one to two years apart. Instead
of celebrating each birthday separately, they were all celebrated in one big party late
October. Some of her siblings cared a little more about this, but it
didn't bother Jenny, maybe because she was the eldest and she understood why her
parents did it. It was cheaper to go to Kitsania once a year than
six times a year. It was her favorite place for birthday parties, at
least until she turned twelve. And no, it's not what you think.
She didn't think she was too old or too cool. It's because she'll never
forget that day. It changed her life. It made her realize that certain
things just can't be explained like usual, if the family went to Kitsania and
their friends met them there, there was so much pizza, soda, ice
cream, lots of kids running around, laughing and playing. They decided to
play hide and seek all of them. They kept a hide and seek game
in the construction area of Keitsania. There was a big building, another one
that was half done, and then this open area with these giant ventilation tunnels.
Those tunnels were pretty dark and further away. No one liked staying in
this area for too long, But Jenny didn't know why. She never really
paid attention to why no one liked the tunnels. She thought that this would
be the perfect hiding spot for the hide and seek game. When it was
her brother Arturos turned to be it. She went straight to the tunnels.
She could hear him counting one, two, three, four, five,
and then further away six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
until she couldn't hear him anymore. She was going straight to the tunnels.
There were three tunnels and then a fence behind the tunnels. There was
only one way into this area and one way out. She went to the
one on the left and hid. She was sure no one had followed her
and that it would take her brother a while to find her. She was
proud of her hiding spot until it felt like she was waiting for too long.
Maybe the spot had been too good. Just as she was about to
get out and give herself up, she heard thumping. It was a strange
sound, as if someone was stomping with one foot and then dragging the other.
It made no sense. Why would her brother walk like this they were
playing high and seek. Why would he even be walking down the tunnels instead
of peeking quickly to find her. The sound was getting closer than it stopped
it was silent. She could only hear her pounding heart. It felt like
an eternity had passed. She thought it was so odd if that was her
brother. Was he hiding now too? Why did the thumping stop? She
was getting very tired of hiding and waiting. She got up and out of
the tunnel. She walked over to the tunnel next to hers and peeked in
nothing. She walked over to the next tunnel and peeked in nothing. At
this point, she was starting to feel afraid. Despite her fear, she
went back to the tunnel she had just gotten out of and looked inside nothing.
Now she was freaking out. Jenny was confused and scared. She decided
to leave this area. She went back into her tunnel, ran through it,
and as she ran, she felt a strange pressure in her chest.
She thought someone was going to be in the tunnels, but no one was
there. She got out and stared at the door to exit this part of
the playground, and for a second felt relief. She could see the door
and she thought it was going to be okay. As Jenny lifted one foot
to start her walk to the door, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She screamed, No one was there. A second ago, who touched
her shoulder. She turned around, half expecting to see her brother, but
when she looked, she saw a half white, half black outfit with red
buttons. Horrified, she continued to look. She turned her head up.
It was a clown. Jenny panicked. She thought maybe she heard laughter,
maybe she imagined it. It was all a blur. She ran. She
bumped one of her sisters, who pushed Jenny, but quickly noticed how scared
Jenny was. The rest of her siblings and friends surrounded Jenny, and she
told them what she had seen. She expected them all to laugh, but
many of them started saying that they have seen a clown too. They thought
maybe the clown was an employee who was just being mean and scaring them.
The kids went to find another employee, and that present laughed. There's no
clowns here. This isn't a circus. But it turns out this is a
thing, the clown of Kitzania. It wasn't just Jenny's local Kitzania either,
It was everywhere. Jenny never went back there. It's still there now,
and she refuses to take her kids there too. Spooky Stories is written edited
