Clowns in woods try to lure children with money, residents say

I just saw a video posted to Facebook of these two guys out for an early morning run and they encountered a clown on a suspension bridge. They yelled at the clown and it turned toward them. One guy goes “Dude he has a knife” and the clown started chasing them. This was in Ohio.

Clowns vs. Mimes (NSFW language)

One of the linked articles in this thread wasn’t so much about a clown sighting as it was a story by a police officer who tried to track down many of the stories in his town. I thought this one paragraph was a great summary of the situation…
I spoke with a young man this morning who claimed that he was assaulted by the crazy creepy clowns of Rolla, Missouri! While talking with him he told me that he lied. I of course asked him if he actually had seen any creepy clowns and he began to explain how there were a couple in this other park. I asked him if he was lying again and he said that he was. He quickly admitted that he had not been assaulted, stabbed, threatened, mean mugged or even given a stern talking to by any clown whatsoever. He had not seen a clown, creepy or not, of any kind.

There is no point to even trying to post all the new links today. Just Google “Clown News” or something similar to read the dozens of new reports. Just wow.

I had a shadow following me around all day yesterday. It seemed to be trying to hide from the sun.

Unconfirmed reports of clown idiots here in Podunk this morning, I had to pull up some YouTube clips from this movie for our office manager - she had never heard of it. I hope it’s on Netflix, should be a hit leading up to Halloween.

We’ve got clowns in Michigan now…damn copycats!

Last night, our sheriff’s department found the body of an elementary school girl in the woods – she’d been reported missing from her home nearby. No details yet, of course, but by the time the story reached my neighborhood a few miles away, somehow clowns in the woods were implicated. The media strikes again.

No sightings in Wyoming yet, but my school district locked down the junior high and high school today after an anonymous Snapchat threat featuring…a clown.

Have they removed clown costumes from the shelves of Walmart etc??

Montana

I am pretty sure this was the last of the lower 48 states to be removed from the clownless list. That just leaves Alaska and Hawaii.

Or have they tripled the orders?

I imagine it will be a top chosen costume!
