Laughing Jack

295,969 views

It was a nice summer day, my 5-year-old son James was playing outside in the backyard of our suburban home. James has always been a quiet boy, he plays by himself mostly, he never had many friends, but he has always had a wild imagination. I was in the kitchen feeding our dog Fido, when I heard what sounded like James talking to someone in the backyard. I’m not sure who it was he could be talking to, could he have finally made a friend? Being a single mom it’s hard for me to always keep an eye on my son, so I decided to go outside and check on him.

When I went into the backyard I was a bit confused, because James was the only person back there. Was he talking to himself? I could have sworn I heard another voice. “James! It’s time to come inside.” I called out to him. He came inside and sat down at the kitchen table, it was about lunchtime so I decided to make him a turkey sandwich. “James. Who were you talking to out there?” I asked. James looked up for a moment, “I was playing with my new friend,” he said smiling. I poured him some milk and continued to pry, as any good mother would. “Does your friend have a name? Why didn’t you ask him to have lunch with us?” I asked. James stared at me for a moment before replying, “His name is Laughing Jack.” I was a bit taken back by what he had said. “Oh? That’s a strange name. What does your friend look like?” I asked a bit confused. “He’s a clown. He has long hair and a big swirly cone nose. He’s got long arms and baggy pants, with stripy socks, and he always smiles.” I realized my son was talking about an imaginary friend. I suppose it is normal for kids his age to have imaginary friends, especially when he has no real kids to play with. It’s probably just a phase.

The rest of the day went by as per usual, and it was starting to get late so I put James to bed. I tucked him in, gave him a kiss, and made sure to turn on his nightlight before I closed the door. I was pretty tired myself so I decided to go to bed not long after. I had an awful nightmare…

It was dark. I was in some kind of rundown amusement park. I was scared, running through an endless field of empty tents, broken down rides, and abandoned game huts. The whole place had a horrible look to it. Everything was black and white, the prize stuffed animals all hung from nooses in the game huts, all with sick grins stitched on their faces. It felt like the whole park was looking at me, even though there wasn’t another living thing in sight. Then suddenly, I began to hear music play. The sounds of Pop Goes the Weasel being played on a squeezebox echoed through the park, it was hypnotizing. I followed its tune to the circus tent almost in a trance, unable to stop my legs from moving forward. It was pitch black, the only light came from a single spotlight shining on the center of the big top. As I walked toward the light the music slowed down, I found myself singing along unable to stop.

“All around the mulberry bush

The monkey chased the weasel

The monkey though twas all in fun…”

The music stopped right before its climax, and suddenly the lights shot on. The intensity of the lights was practically blinding, all I could see was a small dark silhouette shuffle towards me. Then another one appeared, and another, and another. There were dozens of them, all coming toward me. I couldn’t move, my legs were frozen, all I could do was watch as the haunting figures drew nearer. As they got closer I could see… THEY WERE CHILDREN! As I looked at each one I noticed they were all horribly disfigured and mutilated. Some had cuts all over their body, others were severely burnt, and others were missing limbs, even eyes! The children enveloped me, clawing at my flesh, dragging me to the ground, and tearing inside me. As the children tore me apart and I faded away, all I could hear was laughter, horrible, awful, evil, laughter.

I woke up the next morning in a cold sweat. After taking a few deep breaths I looked over and saw that a few of James’ action figures were positioned facing me on top of my nightstand. I sighed, James had probably woken up early and put these here. I gathered up the toys and made my way to James’ room, however when I opened the door James was sound asleep. I just shrugged and placed the toys back into his toy box, and headed out to the living room. A little while later James woke up and I made him his breakfast. He was quiet and seemed a bit groggy, perhaps he didn’t sleep well either. I decided to ask him about the toys, “James honey, did you put the toys in mommy’s room this morning?” His eyes shot up at me for a moment then quickly glanced back down at his cereal. “Laughing Jack did it.” I rolled my eyes and responded, “Well you tell ‘Laughing Jack’ to keep the toys in your room.” James nodded and finished up his breakfast, then decided to go play out in the back yard.

I went to relax in the living room and I must have dozed off, because I woke up a couple hours later. “Shit! I need to check on James.” I was a bit worried, it had been over 2 hours and I haven’t checked on him. I went stepped out into the backyard, but James wasn’t there anymore. I was getting nervous so I called out to him, “JAMES! JAMES WHERE ARE YOU?!” Just then I heard a giggle come from the front yard. I rushed through the gate around to the front of the house. James was sitting on the sidewalk. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to him, “James how many times have I told you to stay in the backya… James, what are you eating?” James looked up at me then reached into his pocket and pulled out a hand full of hard candies in all colors. This made me very nervous, “James, who gave you that candy?” James just stared at me not speaking. “JAMES! Please, tell mommy where you got that candy.” James hung his head down and said “Laughing Jack gave it to me.” My heart sunk, I kneeled down to look him in the eye, “ James I’ve had had enough of this damn Laughing Jack thing, HE IS NOT REAL! Now this is a very serious situation and I need to know who gave you the candy!” I could see my son’s eyes tear up, “But mama, Laughing Jack DID give me the candy.” I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, James has never lied to me but what he’s telling me is impossible. I make him spit out the candy and I throw the rest away, James appears to be fine. Maybe I’m just overreacting after all he could have gotten it from Tom and Linda from next door, or Mr. Walker down the street. Either way I’m going to have to keep a closer eye on James. That night I put James to bed as usual, and decided to go to bed early myself.

Suddenly I was woken up by a loud bang coming from the kitchen. I sprung out of bed and hurried down the stairs. When I got to the kitchen I was horrified. Every thing on the counters had been thrown on the floor, and our dog Fido hung dead from the light fixture. His stomach was cut open and stuffed with candy, the same type that James was eating earlier that day. My shock was quickly broken by a sharp scream coming from James’ room followed by loud crashes. I quickly grabbed a knife from the drawer and moved up the stairs with the speed that only a mother whose child is in danger could have. I burst through the door and flicked on the lights. Everything in the room was knocked over and tossed on the floor, my poor son in his bed crying and shaking with fear, a pool of urine staining the sheets. I scooped my child up and ran out of the house and went next door to Tom and Linda’s house, Luckily they were still awake. They let me use their phone and I called the police. It didn’t take them long to arrive, and I explained what had happened, they looked at me as if I were crazy. They searched the house, but all they found was a dead dog and 2 trashed rooms. The officer told me that someone had probably gotten into the house and done this right before making a quick escape when they heard me coming up the stairs. I knew it wasn’t true. All the doors were locked and none of the windows were open, whatever was in my house didn’t come from outside.

The next day James stayed inside, I didn’t want him to leave my sight. I went into the garage and found his old baby monitor and set it up in his room, if anything comes into his room tonight, I was going to be able to hear it. I went to the kitchen and grabbed the largest knife from the drawer and put it on my nightstand. Imaginary friend or not, I’m not letting anything hurt my little boy.

Soon enough night came. I put James to bed, he was afraid, but I promised him that I wasn’t going to let anything happen to him. I tucked him in, gave him a kiss, and turned on the nightlight. Before closing the door I whispered to him “Goodnight James, I love you.”

I tried to stay up as long as I could, but after a few hours I felt myself drifting off. My baby would be safe for the night and I needed to sleep. Just as I lay my head on the pillow I heard a soft noise come form the baby monitor I had put on my nightstand. At first it sounded like interference, like the kind a radio would make. Then it turned into a soft moan. Was James asleep? Then I heard it, the laugh from my nightmare, that horrible laugh. I sprung up from bed and grabbed the knife from under my pillow. I rushed over to James’ room and creaked the door open. I tried the light switch but it wouldn’t come on. I took a step in and I could feel the warm thick liquid on my feet. Suddenly James’ nightlight came on and I could see the absolute horror laid out in front of me.

James’ body was nailed up on the wall, the nails piercing through his hands and feet. His chest was cut wide open and his organs hung down to the floor. His eyes and tongue had been removed along with most of his teeth. I was disgusted, I could hardly believe this was my baby boy. Then I heard it again, the soft desperate moan. JAMES WAS STILL ALIVE! My baby, my poor baby, in so much pain barely clinging to life. I ran across the room and vomited on the floor, but my sickness was interrupted by a horrible cackle coming from behind me. I spun around while still wiping bile from my mouth, then out of the shadows emerged the fiend responsible for all this horror, Laughing Jack. His ghost white skin and matted black hair hung down to his shoulders. He had piercing white eyes surrounded by dark black rings. His twisted smile revealed a row of sharp jagged teeth, and his skin didn’t look like skin at all, it almost looked like rubber or plastic. He wore a patchy, black and white clown outfit with striped sleeved and socks. His body itself was grotesque, his long arms hanging down past his waist and the way he was poised made him look almost boneless, like a ragdoll. He let out a sickening laugh as if to let me know he was pleased with my reaction to his ‘work’. He then turned around slowly in front of James and began to laugh even more at the horrific sight he has laid out. That was enough to shake me from my terror, I snapped, “GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU BASTARD!” I rushed at the monster raising the knife above my head, and stabbed down at him, but as soon as the knife touched him he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. The knife passed right through and pierced James’ still beating heart, splashing the warm blood on my face….

No… what have I done? My baby, I killed my baby! I immediately fell to my knees, and I could hear sirens in the distance growing louder… My boy, my sweet baby boy… I promised mommy would protect you… But I failed… I’m sorry James… I’m so sorry…

Police soon arrived to find me in front of my son, still wielding the knife covered in my baby’s blood. The trial was short, insanity. I was placed in the Phiropoulos House for the Criminally Insane, where I have been for the past 2 months. Its not so bad here, the only reason I’m awake now is because someone is playing Pop Goes the Weasel outside my window… I’ll talk to the orderlies about it in the morning…

    This is absolutely atrocious, and I want to say “to each his/her own”, but if you liked this story than I am willing to guess you’re either truly disgusting or one hell of an idiot. Hell, maybe you’re both. Let’s make this clear…Blood for the sake of blood is not scary, and the use of over the top, unnecessary violence on a small child is not only uncalled for but also EXTREMELY distasteful, sickening, and stupid. The grammar and logic of this story make no sense as well. Why the hell would she write, “No… what have I done? My baby, I killed my baby!” WHEN SHE’S TELLING US THE STORY FROM A MENTAL HOSPITAL!? She did not JUST kill him, it makes NO SENSE for her to right that down. It makes no sense, the dog dies just to die, the dog’s freaking name is FIDO, and this is actually painful to read. How anyone above can possibly reward this story with an entirely unearned 10/10 is bollocks. But hey, I get it, when you’re too stupid to realize the story is garbage a scary picture is enough to make your suck the dick of just about any story out there isn’t it? *COUGH*LaughingJackJefftheKillerClockworkTicciTobiEyelessJack*COUGH*.
    Garbage, 2/10 if only because I have to pick at least 1 star.

    ummm….why can’t she just sleep beside her son…in the living room maybe. Why subject a child to absolute horror when u suspect something wrong? :/ good pasta though.

    I hate this story. I REALLY hate this story. The death of the boy and dog are brutal and offensive, and isn’t portrayed well IN THE SLIGHTEST. It sucks. Why is it so popular?

    MAN! I absolutely LOVED this story! I feel like she deserved it, since se was all *panic panic* about her kid having candy. The dog was dead (which is the only bad part), the kid dead, and the mom put in an asylum. BEST.ENDING.EVER.

    I swear to god the whole time I was like, she is such a bad mother, couldn’t she have shifted the child to her room. I mean there was a dead body that you found in your house and all you could think of is installing a freaking device and let your kid sleep alone?! Who does that? When you find a dead body, you move out and sell the f-ing place!

    It’s a decently written story, I think it matches Laughing Jack’s personality and MO really well and deserves a 7/10. I think the dog’s name was kinda stupid, and the death unnecessary, but to each their own in writing. All in all it was a good read.

    Definitely a good read for gore fans, but overall it was decent. I am not going to say it was a basic “oh then a skeleton popped out spooky” story, but I felt it did not have enough of psychological horror aspect, but the dream was a fantastic addition. I love the idea of an evil jack-in-the-box villain.
    Not bad for an older one, 7/10.

    Alright, so, I know everybody’s about to absolutely hate me for this, but I don’t rrreeaalllyy like the story? Like, okay, it’s got a very good sense of creativity behind it all and the descriptives are decent enough to give you a general idea of what’s actually going on, but I didn’t like the way the characters acted or behaved based on the story’s rising action.

    So, for starters, a LOT of people talked about how the mother should have done something to save her child besides set up a baby monitor, and I would have to agree — there were about a million different solutions to the simple problem. It would have not only saved us the absolute storm of comments about how she could have done something, it would have provided us with the personality behind the mother — Obviously, I get the feeling she just doesn’t want to be bothered with putting too much effort into keeping her only child alive. It would have also thrown in several different tones of suspense; If you throw caution into the wind as “this is what could have happened,” perhaps in another dream sequence, it would have provided us with the information on what happened without ending on that note.

    And, can we perhaps take a moment to assume that the mother is single now? Perhaps this would have not only provided us with a backstory, but it would have also made sense that James wanted a companion, and why he doesn’t have any “real” friends. He felt lonely but disconnected, presumably because his father left his mother for some mysterious reason, regardless of whether he was alive or not.

    Now that we’re on the subject, can I mention that it doesn’t seem to fit that the entire story revolves around the concept that the mother doesn’t believe in Jack until the last second? If her son said he was real and she admitted that he wasn’t a liar, was she just that stubborn to refuse to believe that Jack existed? Just because he seemed weird doesn’t mean he couldn’t have dressed up and given the appearance of an imaginary friend?

    These are just a few things I wanted to mention that I didn’t particularly like, but the list does go on. I know this comment will probably soar to the negatives, but at least that means someone took the time to read it. Good day.

    I was like “yoooooooooooooo!!!!!” knowing what it feels like losing someone like that is worse. My friend since 8th grade was stabbed like that…but uh not exactly. We were having a “Sleepover” when his started laughing. I asked why because I just said I lost my father. He said: “Oh. It’s nothing. It’s just, I thought about my best friend” I was confused. “I thought your only friend was me..?” I said. “Nah. I have someone else. He’s a clown. We met at the park last week” The worse part is…that his name is JACK! He said his friend’s name was Jack. I asked if I could get a drink and he said “NO! Jack will be mad that you got a drink before he hangs you” I booked it.
