I remember these stories.
Around about the time these stories were rampant (early 90's) some friends and I discovered a place in the Calton. It was an old school or something, not sure which. It was on a patch of wasteland behind the Calton Athletic on London road.
The building was derelict, dark...could hardly see two feet in front of you, but the walls were all painted with murals, and there were images of clowns laughing, crying...freaky as hell it was.
There was an odd smell in that building, and the more time we spent there the more accustomed we became to it, and as a result we got braver. So, one day I ventured up a darkened staircase trying to show off, on my own. I got to the top of the stairs and the stench was absolutely disgusting, could feel my feet squelch on the ground below, like walking on a wet carpet, my eyes were gradually adjusting to the poor light.
Imagine my delight when I realised the soft, wet terrain under my feet was in fact a dead dog, not just dead but kinda - well, ripped apart, really.
Does anyone know the bulding I'm talking about? My friends and I became convinced it was the home of the notorious killer clowns and stopped going there, especially after the dead dog incident.
Be cool to find out what that building actually was, looked like an old abandoned school or nursery with all the paintings on the wall, I'm sure they looked nice when they were first painted, but given the condition of the building at that time, coupled with the eerie atmosphere within, - freaky stuff.
The building is gone now, there's a big office type construction there built by thenue I think.
