Killer Clown Sightings

[Bowie]

Not sure how many of you guys know about this, but just in time for Halloween a lot of "killer clown" sightings have been popping up more frequently than they were before. Some of you may even remember a thread I made on this years ago when the Northampton clown was a thing.

While a lot of it is just in fun, there have been reports of people being seriously threatened and harassed by them in their neighbourhoods, and I believe some of them are using this "event" as an outlet to cause real disturbances and even harm to those they pass.

I felt the need to make you guys aware of this when I read on Twitter about one of these clowns breaking into a woman's office, and her having to hide and call the police. I myself have actually been followed on Twitter and messaged by two of them, and as innocent as they may or may not be, you guys need to be cautious.

Just stay safe, everyone.

Clowns are suppose to be funny, not stalkers. Anyways, there has been alot of ****ed up **** happening in North Carolina/Virginia over the years but this is just weird. Has the police try to do anything?

Yeah I've been seeing a few things about this too. Think it's been going on since the end of Augustus, obviously some kind of hoax but I would be very scared of some of the things I've been reading. Have a big dislike of clowns anyway.
It's just really bizarre how these things start. Why would anybody go around dressed as a killer clown and threaten people for a joke.

But they're not, so now they're taking revenge by stalking people who don't find their low budget attempts at humor amusing.


Clowns are very vengeful people.

Yes, balloon animals and fitting into a small car is very vengeful indeed.

Well being paid to get laughed at and then people laughing for the wrong reasons can make you pretty pissed off.

But that is scary. I'm not scared of clowns at all, like in general, because I knew a clown when I was younger, a kid in my grade's mom was a clown named Dotty and she was really sweet. So I've never thought they were creepy.

Ugh, this is why we can't have fun. Why are people so stupid?

 

[Tensu]

Not gonna lie, the live news report made me laugh.

 

[seliph]

It's not even happening near me from what I know but it's honestly kind of terrifying.

I can handle all things spooky but clowns can **** right off no thank YOU.

yeah i live in southeastern virginia so the school systems are freaking out, but i don't have kids and two engaged lady cops are my neighbor sooo i'd just call next door

generally i like clowns.

Adding even more to the creepiness tbh.. yeah clowns are creepy, to be honest not just to be on the bandwagon. Also these people are probably somewhat mentally disturbed if they really think dressing up as clowns and doing this is a good idea.

I first heard it as some kids saying a clown was beckoning them into the forest as they walked to school. Not cool. Now tricksters are cashing in on the mass hysteria. ;-/

 

[piichinu]

some schools shut down here cuz of that but only schools w younger kids so a bit salty about that :/

 

[Dim]

So ummm would it be unsafe to like go out in my neighborhood late at night or something? I'm a bit creeped out now lol

 

[tumut]

There was some sighted in a neighboring town from where I live in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. Clowns are hot tbh.

Thanks for this. I'm gonna tell a friend of mine. She got invited to some crazy Halloween party at some college she doesn't even know, and from what she's heard, some creepy guy won't leave her friend alone...

 

[Hopeless Opus]

yeah it all started last week when an idiot in my class started talking about the clown sightings. no one started taking him seriously until a school a few blocks from us shut down because of a clown trying to get in LMAO

 

[Dim]

I say we gather a team of mimes and trap all the clowns in invisible boxes!

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

It won't be long before it starts happening over here I wouldn't think. Stuff like this always does. Clowns creep me out enough as it is when I've seen them in the circus so this would be like a nightmare for me. Some of them have just been hoaxes as far as I'm aware but there's been several reported cases of people being attacked by them.

i think a high school nearby where i live was recently put on lock down because clowns were outside their school. hopefully it's just a halloween phase and then it's over, i'm done with it honestly lmao.
