This is scary! I question if it's related to the upcoming movie because I think anyone connected to that would be dressed as a clown in front of a theater, not out in the woods. Wasn't it last year there were the clowns showing up in Jacksonville FL? Could this be related? https://www.yahoo.com/style/disturbing-south-carolina-clown-creeping-164908340.html U.S. We have a disturbing update about that South Carolina clown creeping in the woods Sundi Rose,Hello Giggles 8 hours ago Comments Sign in to like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email We have a disturbing update about that South Carolina clown creeping in the woods We have a disturbing update about that South Carolina clown creeping in the woods When did clowns go from being fun, goofy, innocent entertainment to terrifying, murderous nightmares? Oh, we know when Around the time they started lurking in the woods in South Carolina, trying to lure unsuspecting kids into who-knows-what kind of fresh hell, thats when. Since the first spottings of the clowns in the woods in Greenville, South Carolina last week, the media has gone berzerk trying to get to the bottom of the scary situation. Now, MORE clowns have turned up, some say as far north as Ohio. A Reuters report on Yahoo News claims, One clown showed up on a roadside in a rain poncho, another waved money at children near woods, yet authorities have yet to officially confirm any of the sightings. But its pretty scary nonetheless. Some residents in neighboring communities claim the clowns have been knocking on doors, and the sightings are becoming more and more common. clown Warner Bros. / giphy.com (Not the actual clown) Excuse me while I never sleep again. Rumors are flying that the growing creepiness is just a publicity stunt for a recently released horror movie. Esquire suggests, Some are speculating that the sightings may be part of a guerilla marketing campaign for Rob Zombies new movie, 31, about a group of sadistic, murderous clowns that torture their victims before gruesomely killing them. The timing lines up, but it makes it very hard to explain this photo taken by Greenville resident, Kevin Thoman, and posted to Twitter: Of course, the photo hasnt been proven to be authentic, but if even a tiny smidge of any of this story is true, were bound to be traumatized for life.

It's apparently spreading: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...arolina_us_57ceb0dbe4b0a22de096be7a?section=& CRIME Creepy Clown Sightings Spread To Second State Masked figures reportedly have been spotted in North Carolina this week. 09/06/2016 05:55 pm ET Nina Golgowski Trends reporter, The Huffington Post X The number of clowns prowling around neighborhoods and calling out to children appears to be on the rise, with the latest reported sightings coming out of North Carolina. Around 10 a.m. Tuesday, a resident reported seeing a masked figure emerging from woods near an apartment complex in Greensboro, North Carolina, police announced in a release. The figure was described as wearing a “scary clown mask, red curly wig, yellow dotted shirt, blue clown pants and clown shoes,” police said. A second person who says he saw the clown responded by arming himself with a machete and chasing the masked man back into the woods. However, police said they couldn’t locate the suspect during a search. Two days earlier, children had reported seeing a similarly dressed figure prowling around their community in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, about 30 miles to the west. They described a creepy character wearing “white overalls, white gloves, red shoes with red bushy hair, a white face and a red nose,” Winston-Salem police stated in an incident report obtained Tuesday by The Huffington Post. That mystery man allegedly offered the kids treats if they would follow him into the woods. One adult apparently heard but did not see the clown, according to police. That call came around 8:30 p.m., and police said another followed about four hours later. Officers responded to the scene, about 1.5 miles away, but didn’t find anyone matching the caller’s description. The chilling incidents come about two weeks after residents in Greenville, South Carolina ― a town about 180 miles southwest of Winston-Salem ― reported similar sightings. According to an incident report filed at the time, children and adults said they saw several clowns wandering around Greenville’s Fleetwood Manor Apartment Complex beginning on Aug. 19. Some of the masked figures allegedly even called out to the children and displayed large amounts of money in a bid to lure them closer, witnesses told the local sheriff’s office. Authorities have said that they are increasing surveillance, and hope to discourage pranksters from carrying out similar behavior. “Although it is lawful to dress as a clown, given the heightened tensions about these entertainers, officials are discouraging ‘copycat’ behavior by individuals who may find it humorous to mimic suspicious behavior,” Greensboro police said in their release. “Copycats unnecessarily alarm the public and place an unnecessary drain on police resources.”

It has caught on over here too I'm afraid, and at the rate it has caught on I predict it'll become a serious problem. What do these cretins have for a brain that they find pleasure in jumping out from bushes to frighten passing women, and chase children through parks? Yet another unmistakable sign that humankind is going insane.
