It sounds like something out of a twisted Hollywood horror movie.
Families in the Greenville, SC area have been on edge for weeks over reports of adults in clown costumes trying to lure children into nearby woods.
Now, sightings have been reported in a second state.
Police say they are doing extra patrols in a Winston-Salem, NC, neighborhood after two children reported seeing a clown trying to lure kids into the woods with treats.
Police said in a news release that officers were called to the area around 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
Authorities say two children said they saw the clown, and one adult reported hearing the clown.
About four hours later, a caller who refused to give a name reported seeing a clown about 2 miles away.
To date, police in both North Carolina and South Carolina remain baffled by the case. But it may be a good time to have a refresher conversation with children and grandchildren about interacting with strangers.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
That’s because we have Obozo the clown living in the Rainbow House and he told all the perverts it was o.k. to come out of not only the closet but the woodwork too.
Yep
This is creepy. Make sure your children never go near any clowns or strangers, even to talk to them unless you know the clown. Remember John Wayne Gacy who played the clown for so many children and was really a serial murderer.
Simple, you see a Clown where there should NOT be a Clown, DON’T Clown around, Shoot the Clown!
This sounds a little like the BS rumor that was running around this area back in the late 80’s. In that rumor devil worshippers were looking for blue eyed blond girls for sacrifice. This rumor would always get ramped up the closer it got to Holloween. Then in the early 90’s the West Memphis murders of 3 young boys happened and even though they didn’t fit the supposed profile of the rumored devil worshippers targets that didn’t stop the crazy rumors that these boys had been sacrificed by devil worshippers.
As a side note in 86 and 87 a couple of my high school buddies stuck an upside down cross in the bumper of their truck to basically have fun with the rumors. Both times they got ran out of town by the local sheriff.
Sooner or later this clown’s luck will run out and he will be caught.
Ok, so DON’T shoot EVERY Clown, Poor guy might just be lost on his way to the Party!
Maybe it’s the trump he has really lost it go Hillary 2016
@56 and all ~ On an unpolitical note, it seems there are a good number of these incidents occuring all over the country and unless the news reports themselves are bogus (which at the rate our media is going wouldn’t be a real surprise I guess, still…), I think we adults need to pay attention and not dismiss it as some prank. I read the Greenville story and then recalled it occuring here in Florida in Jan 2015 when 4 people dressed in black tried to lure an 8 yr old girl and her 2 yr old little brother into the woods. The most frightening part of that incident was that the little girl reported one of the four as wearing a very disturbing clown mask and weilding a knife as he tried to climb over the small fence just before she began screaming for her mother. The same clown method was also reported out in California and I believe in Washington state recently too. Considering there more than one persons involved in these incidents, it seems doubtful they’re just stray pedophiles acting on their urges. Parents… please watch your children. Everyone please watch out for the children. Even our own backyards aren’t safe any more.
Go into local woods ” a huntin” with loaded rifles, scopes & ammo & C Clowns Flee.
Or toss some Flash Bangs at clowns.
C clowns run, some Demo Pedophile group I guess.
By the DNC, KKK.
FIND HIM AND EXECUTE HIM..
PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THIS TO OBAMA…
Find a clown in the woods with candy?
Hunt the pervert down and shove that candy down his vile throat and then turn him over to the police after you have defended yourself from being harmed and having to break both arms, nose and fingers!
Parents need to take turns watching their kids. Don’t forget to take old Smith & Mr. Weston with you! Need to start shooting these clowns and show them we are not clowning around with our kids! I wonder why this isn’t being looked into. Probably some of those sweeties Obummer & Killary are letting into our country!
