Small children have been reporting seeing clowns that tries to lure them into the local woods. There were incidents were reported to the Greenville County, South Carolina about a group of clowns were terrorizing adults and children alike outside of a local apartment complex. The children reported that the clowns lived at a house by a pond in the local woods. The children reported to also have been offered money to come to the house. The police searched the house and find no clown paraphernalia. According to the New York Times article on the incidents “A woman walking home late one night said she had seen a “large-figured” clown waving at her from under a streetlight, the police said. (She waved back.) And another woman said her son had heard clanging chains and a banging noise at his front door. In these cases, people who reported clown sightings refused to give their names to the police.” There have been reports that the residents of the apartment complex are taking this “menace” very seriously with residents saying that shots have been fired into the woods. Could this be a real menace or is it another case of the American public’s fear of evil clowns?
