2022 Killer Clown Takedown in French Lick

Every night in October and November you are given the opportunity to hunt and take down killer clowns that have "plagued the forest for years"...if you are brave enough to venture into the woods. Growing up, I can remember having paintball wars, and they were a blast. Gel blaster guns are pretty similar to paintballs, so it's the same concept. Adding this twist to the game with the "killer clowns" makes it intriguing, and for some, scary. If you know someone with a fear of clowns, this might be their worst nightmare...but then again, it could help them get over their fear of clowns.

You might be wondering if the clowns actually chase you around in these woods. Well, that all depends on the type of game you choose to play. French Lick Manhunt And Survival Games has several games and difficulty levels for each game. Here are the three options you have when it comes to hunting down the killer clowns:

Your group splits into multiple teams with one of the clowns on each team, or the clowns on our own separate team. Each team tries to eliminate the other. This games difficulty is only determined by how you play.

If it's me playing, I say go big or go home! Give me the rancid clowns and let's have at it...even though I would probably be the first one eliminated from the game.

Anyway...

You can book appointments now through November 14th by calling or texting 812-666-6859 or 812-653-5313.  These hunts run in two-hour and five-hour time slots, and you must have a group of five minimum for the hunts. For more information on pricing and how it works, you can click here!

40 Real Indiana Towns with Quirky, Weird, and Funny Names

Outside the major cities, the Hoosier state is full of tiny little towns you've probably passed through on your way to one of those cities. Most of them are likely 100 to 150 years old, or older, and have been around far longer than the large metropolitan areas such as Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Evansville. Typically, they were started by early settlers who found their way to the state and decided to make it home. Eventually, others would join them, and a community was formed. Over time, as the surrounding areas grew, most of them were folded into those areas and governed by the nearest city or county's governing body officially making them "unincorporated," meaning they did not have their own formally organized municipal government.

A scroll through Wikipedia's long list of unincorporated communities in Indiana shows several of them have names that by today's standards would be considered weird, quirky, or just downright right funny. These are my 40 favorities.
