Creepiest Things to Happen On / Near Halloween

A “Smiley Face” Killer

Christopher Jenkins, was just 21 years old when he mysteriously disappeared on Halloween night in 2002. Four months later, his body was found floating in the Mississippi River, still clothed in his Halloween costume. Authorities called it an accidental drowning but his parents refused to believe it. Their search lead them to a series of drowning deaths, many involving young men with similar builds. Authorities connected at least 40 mysterious deaths by drowning of college-age men across the country. Authorities believe that some of them were connected by a crude drawing of a smiley face painted either on a tree or other surface near the crime scene. Detectives have dubbed the killer or killers “Smiley Face”, and believe they are still at large today.
