I guess I don't like the idea of people hiding behind masks. It makes some sick f*cks even sicker and I don't like them pulling that shit around kids.

One year at halloween , it was a little later in the evening for trick or treaters but the doorbell rang and I opened the door and this "person " was just standing there wearing a pretty scary old man rubber mask. He didn't say a word, just stood there staring at me through the screen door. I waited and he still didn't speak but opened up a bag for candy. I dropped a piece in and he just turned and left. It was unsettling and I felt kind of vulnerable.

Creepy clown sighting spreads to West Virginia

DUHRING, W. Va. — Call it a gimmick, call it a prank. Call it a bad promotional effort to plug an upcoming horror movie. Whatever it is, it’s not the clown making balloon animals from your child’s birthday party.

A photograph of a creepy clown standing along a rural West Virginia road is creating a stir on social media while leaving some area officials and residents anything but laughing.

The clown was photographed standing roadside about two hours south of Charleston, West Virginia, in Duhring, West Virginia at night — just weeks after similar clown sightings in North Carolina and South Carolina gained national media attention. The photograph in question has since gone viral, having been shared via Facebook more than 700 times. It also was shared with the county sheriff’s office.

Clown cult puts two schools on lockdown....

Creepy clowns put two south Alabama schools on lockdown

Several cryptic posts from the Facebook page of a group known as the 'Flomo Klowns' put two Southern Alabama schools on lock down for a while Thursday morning.

The Flomaton Police Department received information from a parent that her child had been sent threatening messages on Facebook from the group.

After confirming the threat, the Escambia County School District put Flomaton High School and Flomaton Elementary School in Atmore on lock down this morning. The lock down was lifted at 11:30 a.m.

Earlier reports said that the clowns were sighted near the schools campus, but Knott said that report was inaccurate.

The hysteria came after the group posted these two updates on their Facebook profile earlier Thursday morning that have now been deleted.

He says the images on the Facebook page are hard to look at.

"I think it's horrible," said Knott. "We need to send a message to our students don't engage in any kind of communication with them."

Knott says the threats clowns have been making on students in recent weeks in North Carolina and Georgia are not to be taken lightly.

Clowns spread to state of Kentucky.

Quote:

After reports of creepy clowns trying to lure children into woods in South Carolina, Jamie Hill posted a photo of a clown she claims she spotted on the 192 highway in the city of London, Kentucky.

She explained: “So, I was a little scared to post this because I didn't think anyone would believe me until Kelly Hill [a Facebook friend] told me that one of her friends just had seen a clown here in London.

“And I was out tonight and was headed back home on 192 and saw this. Now, it's not a really good picture because I couldn't stop, there [were] people behind me.

“I seriously think this clown thing has gotten out of hand and someone is going to get hurt. Please share this so people around London will know that they are here!”

Clown warning issued in Middle Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) - Apparently, Tennesseans need to be on high alert for clowns.

A warning was given by the Tennessee Department of Safety and the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) on Saturday. The agencies took to Twitter posting, "Watch for clowns in your area. They could be child predators seeking kids" and "Watch for clowns trying to lure children into the woods. They are possibly predators."

....

It is unclear at this time what specifically led to the warning in Tennessee.

Lurking clown arrested in Kentucky woods near apartments

Kentucky police have arrested a man dressed as a clown lurking in a wooded area amid a wave of clown reports in at least six US states.

Jonathan Martin, 20, was charged with wearing a mask in a public place and disorderly conduct in Middlesboro.

He was found at about 0100 EST (0600 GMT) on Friday in "full clown costume" and mask crouching among trees by an apartment complex, according to police.

Recent reports of clowns trying to lure children into woods have sparked alarm.

Police have warned individuals against dressing up in clown costumes, adding it could lead to criminal charges.

Clown sights spread to CO, FL, VA

Reports of “killer clowns” have emerged in three new states, as Virginia, Florida and Colorado struggle with Internet rumors and reported sightings that have left several towns shaken.

Residents and authorities in Palm Bay, Fla., have been on high alert since a resident reported seeing two “creepy clowns” staring at her from across a road as she walked her dog. And in Marion County, Fla., deputies are concerned after it emerged that a Facebook viral video, depicting a clown standing silently on the side of the road in the dark, had been filmed along a main thoroughfare in the area.

The video has more than a million views on Facebook.

In Henrico County, Va., a mother and daughter captured a “creepy clown” leering at them from another car during rush hour.

Breaking: Clown gunned down in Indiana

FORT WAYNE, INDIANA – A man dressed as a clown was shot on the city’s south side midday Sunday. The shooting was reported just after 10:30 p.m. Sunday at 4801 Plaza Dr.

Fort Wayne police were called just after 10:30 p.m. Sunday to an address at 4701 Plaza Dr., near Standish Street just south of McMillen Park, on a report of a shooting there. When police arrived they found a man in a clown costume shot in his head in critical condition.

....

Joyner said he doesn’t know why people are dressing as clowns, but he said he suspects fear is a factor across the city.

“I just think it’s crazy. People better take those clown mask off… before the coroner does,” Wright said.

FEAR: Schools ban clown costumes, other "symbols of terror" ahead of Halloween

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut school district is banning clown costumes and any "symbols of terror" during this year's Halloween season as authorities investigate the authenticity of a number of clown-related social media posts.

New Haven Public School officials said Monday principals and building leaders have been requested to ban the costumes until additional information is available.

This comes amid an investigation involving police into an account on the photo-sharing social media site Instagram. The account uploaded four photos showing menacing-looking clowns with captions telling several area schools to "watch out" and "wait and see" whether the alleged threats are fake.

School officials say there's no indication the incident poses any real threat to students at this time.
