Are there any "creepy clown" threats in your area? People are dressing like clowns and chasing strangers and making threats to schools.

There have been arrests but thankfully most of the school threats police are saying are just hoaxes.

  • We had a couple of schools on lock-down here the other day because of the clowns. Has anyone figured what the heck is up with all of this?

  • The scary thing is they are trying to lure young kids into the woods. I'm really surprised none of them have been shot yet.

    There is a rumor that the creepy clowns are just a huge publicity stunt for an upcoming film called “31” where murderous clowns hold carnival workers hostage.

  • I've heard that too, but seriously, one of them is going to get themselves shot.

    I hope they are all arrested. It is not a harmless prank.

  • If people can die because of Slender Man, this doesn't surprise me. Things that start out as goofy internet things soon become real and then the real crazies latch onto it and people die.

    Back in the 60's, a local, well known clown would visit our elementary school. He was actually a police detective.

  • It's really just a viral joke and hoax being blown out of proportion as usual.

    It's  a frightening world we live in. There are forces at work  that many  have no idea how  menacing and malicious they are. (ephesians 6:12) there has been a single sighting of a clown in the area where I reside. I live in an agriculture community where life has been up until about a decade ago very laid back. Very sad to see how it has changed for the worse. This post was edited by Autumnleaves at October 4, 2016 10:39 PM MDT
