The Nephilim Looked Like Clowns: Volume I: The History

by Paul Stobbs

When you hear the word ‘clown’, what is the first thing that comes to mind? It probably isn’t giant, bloodthirsty predators who ruled over humanity after usurping all the earthly kingdoms of an antediluvian age. Likewise, when one imagines Nephilim, it would be absurd to conjure up a scene of white-faced circus performers honking their horns and making fools of themselves in colourful costumes, right? The half-divine, half-mortal offspring of the watchers have been a contentious field of study for theologians and Christian contrarians for a long time. However, while most have focused their efforts on proving the existence of these beings, (until now) no researcher of the Nephilim has ever stopped to ask themselves earnestly, “What did these monsters really look like?” With respectful observation of ancestor spirit worship cultures, historical facts and a tongue-in-cheek passion, this book series bridges the gap between the seemingly disparate Nephilim and Clown. After reading this book, you will know that circuses are no joke; they are occult rituals. You will recognise that the clown, as we know it today, is a purposefully crafted caricature of a much more ancient and fearfully colourful predator, still hunting us today... You will understand that The Nephilim Looked Like Clowns.

I wanted to like this book so much more-and will start off by saying, generally speaking, I did enjoy the content and analysis, I have great interest in ideas that maybe are considered “conspiracy theory”, that questions the norm and questions the reoccurrence of similar images, ideas, messages etc.

However, there were some things that I struggled with. First and likely the least important, was the formatting and grammatical errors. I’m not sure who the editor was for this book, but my goodness-WAY too many errors there. It is distracting-and hoping is remedied in the second book.

The claims that certain pieces of evidence are “biblical” when relying on information from writings that are NOT biblical, such as “Book of Enoch” is compounded upon throughout the writing. Before the points are even fully proven, it is built upon with new ideas and “biblical evidence”, so that the train of thought and layers to get to a conclusion are not fully substantiated. Again, I mean this for the biblical evidence. If you want to draw conclusions from other sources and address similarities, that is different. To claim something is biblical has to be from the Bible. Additionally, there are verses taken out of context, and assumptions made about rules and limitations to God’s power that are a bit odd to me. Where are you getting that from? Because this book has a majority of it being biblical ideas and “proof” this is the biggest reason for the rating I gave. Later on, certain phrasing is used such as “since we know this about XYZ” or “we know the biblical evidence…” even though it hasn’t been fully proven to be biblical looses me.

There is also a LOT of implications. For one, that these mythology origin stories, cryptid lore and similar things are basically true…which was so odd to me. Essentially as proof that these Nephilim hybrids existed. Why would the Bible not address such hybrid creatures? Wouldn’t Jesus warn us of such “bloodlines”? It sounds a bit similar to Serpent Seed false teaching…another implication is that physical illness is demonic influence - and fasting is a “great way to expel demons”. This is not Biblical at all. I think there is also a great lack of understanding in the Holy Spirit and its power-and I know the author stated he is not a theologian, but to speak on such things needs a bit more carefulness, lest young believers be led astray/confused.

However, I did enjoy the history of the clown, the encounters with DMT and the similarities between cultures and these entities/visions. I think this is the strength of the book, and sounds like Volume 2 will be more of this. Questioning and analyzing what these similarities are and what it could mean. I think the book would be better to stick with this perspective instead of trying to give substantiation to the origins and “bloodlines”. We know from the Bible there are demonic entities that show themselves in different forms. There is already room there to speculate and shed light on what these beings can look like/act like, that I would be totally on board to read all about.

Required Reading

Thank you Paul for writing this book and all the work you do over there on understanding conspiracy, you're doing God's work in a highly relatable way, keep going sir, I can't wait to read part two.

Such a fascinating read! I’ve followed Paul’s videos for a while, so I had to grab this book—and I finished it in one sitting. He explains everything so clearly, with plenty of references, and keeps it all biblically grounded. It’s a total conversation starter and left me wanting to dive into more of his work. Can’t wait for vol 2

Although I'm happy the author found existential purpose and fulfillment in Christ I admit I hated every single conspiracy theory mumbo jumbo laden page of this book.

Every. Single. Page.

The Book of Enoch and a psychedelic episode as reference for two volumes (of which I've only read one, thank God) of angelic watchers, demonic seed, red haired pale tall people who look like harlequin clowns .... man. I don't do drugs but I felt like doing them while reading this book just to forget the fact that I read it in the first place.

Please. Please. Please. Leave this kind of nonsense in the annals of the History Channel's midnight specials and YouTube's most avoided sub-sections of conspiracy theory, Joe Rogan referencing, ayahuasca testing, dreadlocks wearing white dude vibes pit of delusion.

I really hated this book.

Writing and document accumulation were amazing. That's it.

I read this book because of its silly premise.
And, indeed, the book is silly.
First part, the usual "biblical theory" about giants, angels, Nephilim, sin, the flood... pretty limited by the author´s biblical vision.
Second part, wow, he tried to link Nephilim with "clowns", in a flimsy try... I would love to discover anything really interesting here but there was nothing, just wild speculation that could make Zecharia Sitchin or Erich von Daniken blush :)
I gave 3 star because the author seems to really believe he found something... amazing :D

An interesting read, recommended by my son. The author compares the Biblical giants to Clowns , both historical and modern. Not sure how much is really truth and how much is the imagination of the author, but he made a lot of good points that sound reasonable. It is definitely thought provoking and I am glad I read it.

The claim that Nephilim looked like clowns is based on a miscomprehension of the relevant linguistics, reliance on faulty sources, folklore, and mere assertions.
Paul Stobbs admits that his theory began when he had a flashback after YEARS of abusing hardcore hallucinogenic drugs and, not surprisingly, his Nephilology is literally 100% un-biblical.

The history of the nephilim was very interesting but the history of clowns was pretty boring. I get that it’s needed to prove his point so I’m not upset. It was interesting to learn the ties of carnival/clowning to freemasonry. Is everything demonic/freemasonic? Yes. I also believe that the nephilim look like/are clowns. Also this book was too expensive.

Ok, informative, requires much research

Good content, but reader has to know a lot about other cultures in order to fully understand clown concepts and grasp meaning intended by the author.

[Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very detailed, well written description of biblical history and how giants/Angel-human hybrids infested the earth and made normal people's lives hell.

Absolutely stellar work and unbelievably fascinating.

Great book

Packed with information to consider. This was a page turner. Great historical facts and truth to give people something to delve deeper into once they finish the book.

Absolutely excellent research on a captivating subject!
If you want an alternative Christian perspective on the secrets of our history, then look no further than this!

Very informative and interesting

After reading this and listening to the audio book my eyes have been opened and now I see references everywhere
