  1904 – 1906: It awoke another time when a lumberjack named Claude Heroux murdered a dozen of men in a bar with just one axe. Heroux was promptly pursued by a mob of townsfolk and hanged to death. It returned to hibernation when the Kitchener Ironworks exploded, killing 108 people, 88 of whom were children engaged in an Easter egg hunt.
  1929 – 1930: It awoke when a large group of Derry citizens gunned down a small group of gangsters known as the Bradley Gang. It returned to hibernation when the Maine Legion of White Decency, a Northern counterpart to the Ku Klux Klan, burned down an African-American army nightclub known as "The Black Spot" and had appeared as a Bird having Balloons on its wings.
  1957 – 1958: It awoke when Dorsey Corcoran was beaten to death by his stepfather, Richard Macklin; Its first known victim at the time was Georgie Denbrough during one of the floods that hit Derry every few years. It then met its match when the Losers' Club forced It to return to an early hibernation when wounded by the young Bill Denbrough (Georgie's older brother) in the first Ritual of Chüd.
  1984 – 1985: It awoke when three young homophobic bullies beat up a young homosexual couple, Adrian Mellon and Don Hagarty, throwing Mellon off a bridge, and eating Mellon while Don was caring for him (echoing real-life events in Maine). It was finally defeated and died in the second Ritual of Chüd by the adult Bill, Richie, Beverly, Eddie, and Ben, though this triggered the collapse of the water tower and flooding of the whole entire town.
