In recent months, creepy clown sightings have made headlines across the nation. But 51 years ago, there was one story, out of Atlanta, that would trump them all. It was bizarre and tragic and a lot more complex than a tale about a prankster with a red nose lurking in the woods of metro Atlanta. One Friday afternoon in 1965, five FBI agents swarmed a bus on the grounds of a traveling carnival in Atlanta, shook a man awake and arrested him. The man they'd sought went by many names.
