00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.880
Kitzania is an indoor amusement park for
kids. They have locations into Dad,

2
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:14.279
Mexico, Monterey, Guadalajara, even
in Dallas, Chicago, Santa Fe in

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:20.039
the US. On July twenty nineteen, Kitzania went viral on Twitter. A

4
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:26.480
user and a now deleted thread tweeted
a pretty creepy memory of Kitzania. I'm

5
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:31.519
Christina and this is Espuki stories where
every story is based on real events.

A Twitter threat from a user in Mexico

7
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.560
share that she used to go to
Kitzana and Monterey as a child. She

8
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:53.560
and a group of friends were playing
in a ventilation tunnel when a clown scared

9
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.159
them out of nowhere. When she
returned to Kitzania later, she asked an

10
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:02.159
employee where the clown was, and
the employee told her that no clowns have

11
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.599
worked there. Ever, she asked
if anyone else had weird experiences like this

12
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.319
at Kitzana, and to her surprise, many replied that they had also been

13
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:18.560
scared by a clown and the tunnels
is. There are similar replies way Viola

17
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.319
user from Sudha, Mexico. You
still worked there, and he remembers running

18
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.280
into a group of kids that were
terrified of the tunnel section. They kept

19
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.439
hearing there was a clown there that
stole money. He thought it was a

20
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.800
joke, but then more and more
kids began saying the same thing. They

21
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.319
were all scared of this clown.
He thought maybe his co workers were messing

22
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.360
with him, and he went to
them and asked, like, hey,

23
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.599
who's telling kids this clown line?
And all the co workers swore up and

24
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.400
down that they would never they have
never said this to any kid. He

25
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.000
never saw anything himself, but he's
certain that all those kids were scared of

26
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.719
something in those tunnels. And there
were hundreds of replies in this thread from

27
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:52.759
people in Guadala, Harada, Mexico, all the locations sharing similar tales.

28
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.120
So I don't know what do we
think mass hysteria. Was there an actual

29
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:01.560
clown at every single Kidzania? I
don't know. The following story is based

30
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:12.039
on these experiences. Indoor play places
are super popular, especially when it's raining

31
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.319
or for birthday parties. As a
kid, Jenny knew only the coolest kids

32
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.360
had their parties in these places.
Some of these were pretty basic compared to

33
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.240
others. The best one back then
was Kitzania. Keitsania had it all.

34
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.960
It was like a city just for
kids. There was a construction area with

35
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.520
kids sized tools, another area with
a doctor's office, a veterinary clinic.

36
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.199
It sounds weird, but it was
a lot of fun and they had the

37
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.960
best pizza. Jenny grew up in
a bigger family compared to a lot of

38
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.240
her friends. Her friends each had
maybe one or two siblings, but Jenny's

39
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.080
family had eight family members, six
kids and her parents, so they didn't

40
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.080
go to Kitzania very often, especially
not for every single birthday party. Somehow,

41
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:59.199
most birthdays all fell in the last
four months of the year September through

42
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.159
December, and all of the siblings
were one to two years apart. Instead

43
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:09.439
of celebrating each birthday separately, they
were all celebrated in one big party late

44
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.439
October. Some of her siblings cared
a little more about this, but it

45
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.720
didn't bother Jenny, maybe because she
was the eldest and she understood why her

46
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.199
parents did it. It was cheaper
to go to Kitsania once a year than

47
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.879
six times a year. It was
her favorite place for birthday parties, at

48
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.680
least until she turned twelve. And
no, it's not what you think.

49
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.279
She didn't think she was too old
or too cool. It's because she'll never

50
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.240
forget that day. It changed her
life. It made her realize that certain

51
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:41.160
things just can't be explained like usual, if the family went to Kitsania and

52
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.800
their friends met them there, there
was so much pizza, soda, ice

53
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.879
cream, lots of kids running around, laughing and playing. They decided to

54
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.399
play hide and seek all of them. They kept a hide and seek game

55
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.480
in the construction area of Keitsania.
There was a big building, another one

56
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.279
that was half done, and then
this open area with these giant ventilation tunnels.

57
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.560
Those tunnels were pretty dark and further
away. No one liked staying in

58
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.000
this area for too long, But
Jenny didn't know why. She never really

59
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.920
paid attention to why no one liked
the tunnels. She thought that this would

60
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.439
be the perfect hiding spot for the
hide and seek game. When it was

61
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.399
her brother Arturos turned to be it. She went straight to the tunnels.

62
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:27.399
She could hear him counting one,
two, three, four, five,

63
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:33.759
and then further away six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

64
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.639
until she couldn't hear him anymore.
She was going straight to the tunnels.

65
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.279
There were three tunnels and then a
fence behind the tunnels. There was

66
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.399
only one way into this area and
one way out. She went to the

67
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.199
one on the left and hid.
She was sure no one had followed her

68
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.959
and that it would take her brother
a while to find her. She was

69
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.199
proud of her hiding spot until it
felt like she was waiting for too long.

70
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.160
Maybe the spot had been too good. Just as she was about to

71
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.040
get out and give herself up,
she heard thumping. It was a strange

72
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:11.839
sound, as if someone was stomping
with one foot and then dragging the other.

73
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.600
It made no sense. Why would
her brother walk like this they were

74
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.399
playing high and seek. Why would
he even be walking down the tunnels instead

75
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:26.319
of peeking quickly to find her.
The sound was getting closer than it stopped

76
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.560
it was silent. She could only
hear her pounding heart. It felt like

77
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.759
an eternity had passed. She thought
it was so odd if that was her

78
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:41.959
brother. Was he hiding now too? Why did the thumping stop? She

79
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.800
was getting very tired of hiding and
waiting. She got up and out of

80
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.000
the tunnel. She walked over to
the tunnel next to hers and peeked in

81
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:57.519
nothing. She walked over to the
next tunnel and peeked in nothing. At

82
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.800
this point, she was starting to
feel afraid. Despite her fear, she

83
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.000
went back to the tunnel she had
just gotten out of and looked inside nothing.

84
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:11.399
Now she was freaking out. Jenny
was confused and scared. She decided

85
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.240
to leave this area. She went
back into her tunnel, ran through it,

86
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.240
and as she ran, she felt
a strange pressure in her chest.

87
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.920
She thought someone was going to be
in the tunnels, but no one was

88
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.480
there. She got out and stared
at the door to exit this part of

89
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:29.120
the playground, and for a second
felt relief. She could see the door

90
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.360
and she thought it was going to
be okay. As Jenny lifted one foot

91
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.600
to start her walk to the door, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

92
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.639
She screamed, No one was there. A second ago, who touched

93
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.279
her shoulder. She turned around,
half expecting to see her brother, but

94
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.439
when she looked, she saw a
half white, half black outfit with red

95
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.439
buttons. Horrified, she continued to
look. She turned her head up.

96
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.759
It was a clown. Jenny panicked. She thought maybe she heard laughter,

97
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.040
maybe she imagined it. It was
all a blur. She ran. She

98
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.199
bumped one of her sisters, who
pushed Jenny, but quickly noticed how scared

99
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.920
Jenny was. The rest of her
siblings and friends surrounded Jenny, and she

100
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.120
told them what she had seen.
She expected them all to laugh, but

101
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.879
many of them started saying that they
have seen a clown too. They thought

102
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.639
maybe the clown was an employee who
was just being mean and scaring them.

103
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.560
The kids went to find another employee, and that present laughed. There's no

104
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.839
clowns here. This isn't a circus. But it turns out this is a

105
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.639
thing, the clown of Kitzania.
It wasn't just Jenny's local Kitzania either,

106
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.000
It was everywhere. Jenny never went
back there. It's still there now,

107
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:54.320
and she refuses to take her kids
there too. Spooky Stories is written edited
