One time I was travelling through Latin America and we stopped somewhere at a food place by the road. They said: see that huge rock in the field there? One time many years ago there was a circus in town, and everybody in the town went, and it was in that field. But then there was an earthquake, and a mudslide started, and it was wiping everything out. But a clown managed to get a bunch of kids to safety and they huddled on that rock while the mud wiped out everything around them, killing everyone else in the town.

Maybe it was all BS but it was a pretty vivid image. (edit: OMFG I remembered it mostly right.)

There's a memorial in my town for a department store Santa Claus who rescued a bunch of people from a fire and then died in that fire.
