Why did it mysteriously disappear? Did they quit? Did the circus get bought out? Did all the animals die? Many theories exist, but we do know the remnants of this deserted circus are very creepy and the property is said to be haunted. It’s the kind of place you would find a ghost clown lurking in the woods. Take a look at this eerie place:

Gandini's Circus operated from the early 1900s until the mid 1930s. The circus toured to several states and stayed in Edmond in the winter months.

After the original Gandini’s closed, the remains were purchased and went onto become Clyde Bros. Circus and then Hagen Bros. Circus; however the original name “Gandinis” stuck with the property.

Both circuses used the property in Edmond in their off-months as a home for the animals, workers and equipment.

It is still a mystery why everything was left abandoned. That's part of the creepiness about the place...the lack of history about its demise. I wonder how long this burned and abandoned bus has been withering away?

Or these trailers that are all still left hiding in the thick brush?

The whole property has a very eerie feeling. There have been numerous reports of ghost sightings on the property. Many people think it's haunted from past circus performers (including clowns) and animals.

It is creepy how many items were left behind. From weird objects to popcorn machines to drink cups, circus memorabilia can be found all over the property.

I don’t think I could handle the idea of creepy clowns chasing me in the woods!
