On 17 October 2016, the Empire Herald web site published a gruesome article about the arrest of a clown after police found eleven human bodies stuffed in a freezer at his Memphis residence: There was nothing to this story, which was just another fabrication intended to exploit a current rash of clown hysteria sweeping across the U.S. (and elsewhere). The Empire Herald is a fake news site that does not publish any factual stories — and few original ones, preferring (as here) to instead recycle satirical clickbait pieces first published elsewhere.
