Apparently clowns are trying to lure children in South Carolina.

Haha, they interviewed Stephen King about all this.

The king of clowns isn’t taking credit — or blame — for the rash of creepy sightings around the country.

“I suspect it’s a kind of low-level hysteria, like Slender Man, or the so-called Bunny Man, who purportedly lurked in Fairfax County, Virginia, wearing a white hood with long ears and attacking people with a hatchet or an axe,” “It” author Stephen King said in an email to the Bangor Daily News, his hometown paper.
“The clown furor will pass, as these things do, but it will come back, because under the right circumstances, clowns really can be terrifying.”
Earlier this week, a man with a machete chased a clown away from an apartment complex in Greensboro, North Carolina.

clown in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, tried to lure children into the forest with treats on Monday and a wooded area behind a Greenville, South Carolina, apartment complex has reportedly been overrun by clowns; the property manager sent a letter to residents warning them to keep their children at home after curfew.
“Lon Chaney said (or is reputed to have said), ‘There’s nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight.’ Meaning, I suppose, a clown seen outside of its normal milieu, in the circus or at the fair,” King told the Bangor Daily News.
“If I saw a clown lurking under a lonely bridge (or peering up at me from a sewer grate, with or without balloons), I’d be scared, too.”

Police Can’t Find Evidence of Clown-Luring Tales, Arrest Man for Making Up Sighting

It’s been several weeks since stories first started surfacing of creepy clown sightings with some witnesses saying they were trying to lure children into the woods. But so far, police have found no evidence that any of the reports were real. And on Friday, police in Winston-Salem, North Carolina made it clear they’re not going to take false reports of clown sightings sitting down. Police arrested 24-year-old David Armstrong after he admitted that the creepy tale of an ominous clown tapping on his window in the early hours of the morning had been entirely made up. Armstrong’s court date is Monday.

Armstrong’s arrest came shortly after Winston-Salem police said a separate report of a clown trying to lure kids into the woods was also false. They examined surveillance footage and didn’t find any evidence of someone dressed as a clown trying to get kids to go into the woods. There are still other reported sightings being investigated but no evidence has been found so far.

The creepy-clown sightings began in late August in Greenville, South Carolina and then spread to Winston-Salem and Greensboro, North Carolina. “We’re still investigating to see what the actual purpose is, whether it’s for ill intent or if it’s a prank,” a Greenville police spokesman said, adding the sightings are still classified as suspicious activity.

The alleged sightings have led to national and international news coverage and even horror master Stephen King weighed in on the whole thing, saying tales of supernatural beings who lurk in the shadow are a recurring thing. “I suspect it’s a kind of low-level hysteria, like Slender Man, or the so-called Bunny Man, who purportedly lurked in Fairfax County, Virginia, wearing a white hood with long ears and attacking people with a hatchet or an axe,” King told the Bangor Daily News. “The clown furor will pass, as these things do, but it will come back, because under the right circumstances, clowns really can be terrifying.” Even as he dismissed the sightings, King recognized he wouldn’t want to run into a clown in the wrong circumstances: “If I saw a clown lurking under a lonely bridge (or peering up at me from a sewer grate, with or without balloons), I’d be scared, too.”

Considering none of the clowns allegedly terrifying communities have been located, psychologists had been saying since the beginning that it was likely all a case of low-level public hysteria as fears begin to spread. “Sometimes this can create a ‘mass hysteria’ as perceived problems, such as presumed rashes, spread throughout a population,” a psychology professor told the New York Times recently.

The man they arrested is the little light-lure...the clowns are the hidden angler fish.
 
This is Cloverfield type marketing for the IT remake coming out next year.
 
Fools...everybody knows killer clowns have cloaking devices.
 
They've taken over the police station in an attempt to cover their tracks.
 
People really have **** all to do in the South it seems.
 
This is "old" news. It's an urban legend. It's what happened in Boston in 1981 all over again. A tulpa effect, to avoid possible confusion with 'Supernatural' meant in a psychological way - these people might be "seeing" it (in their minds) but because the idea of it has been planted.

One would think if you really wanted to lure some children for diddling purposes or whatever that you would avoid the clown gimmick that has current national exposure. At this point, it would be more subtle to get a windowless van and spray paint "Free Candy" on the side of it.
