The Clowns Forest 2 Waking Shadows serves as the gripping sequel to the original The Clowns Forest and contains spoilers for its predecessor. Michael Longhurst, an 18-year-old, was discovered by 25-year-old James Barlow wandering the streets during the early hours of June 21st. Bearing visible signs of abuse and bruises, James suggested taking Michael to the hospital, an offer that Michael initially declined. Instead, James brought Michael to his place to provide much-needed rest and care. It was during this time that Michael divulged the harrowing events that had transpired. While James maintained a level of skepticism, he couldn’t dismiss Michael’s account entirely. In a bold move, he offered to accompany Michael back to Hartown Park.
