    Return of the uptown clowns!

    We must be on an old timeline again with our newsfeeds once against being doused by Halloween clowns!

    News sites in constant need of hits and traffic is calling it a “killer clown”.. claiming it is roaming the streets of a sleepy village. Scary.

    It’s just a guy in a clown suit, seriously..

    Let’s get real.

    A Facebook account set up by the clown – calling himself Cole Deimos – posted images of himself in the darkened streets of the village..

    He leaves red balloons around the village of Skelmorlie in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Wearing white gloves and a lace collar, as well as a top fastened with big red fluffy buttons, media reports claim that the clown has left the 2,000 locals in fear.

    Fear!!

    So scary.. a clown who uses social media to garner attention and headlines. The Scots must be quivering in their UK boots.

    Back to that Facebook page.. things seem to be either being misreported or the page is gone.

    We were not able to locate any social media presence despite the media reports. Maybe going “virtual” scared the scary clown?

    Knewz reported,

    One individual, who preferred to remain anonymous, expressed his worry about his two young sons, saying, “Whoever this is, they are scaring everybody – he needs to be stopped. Someone needs to intervene before he terrifies someone to the point of a heart attack.” 

    “One boy in the street along from us said he saw the clown from his bedroom window just before he went to bed – he didn’t sleep all night,” noted the citizen.

    Another resident, Pauline, said photos and videos had recently been removed from Deimos’ Facebook page. 

    The Record reports the profile indicates that they are self-employed studied at Clown School and that he is a resident of Skelmorlie.  

  • SMALL TOWN CLOWNS MOVE TO ISRAEL

    SMALL TOWN CLOWNS MOVE TO ISRAEL

    SMALL TOWN CLOWNS MOVE TO ISRAEL!

    Channel 2 on Tuesday aired footage of a minor who dressed up like a clown in Yavne. “I am the Yavne clown,” said the boy. “I do it because it’s boring [in Yavne] I am not into killing people, only into scaring children.”

    Police official Boaz Hamami, who was also interviewed for the Channel 2 report, said that the danger is two-fold: to the people who are panicked by the clowns, and for the clowns themselves, who might end up being shot by security or worried citizens who might respond with violence at the sight of a clown attacking children.

    And there is a new report from the nation that a child was running scared at someone dressed like a clown.

    This is the same pattern of clownish oddities that graced other continents previous autumns..

    Oddly enough the movie IT came out and all of I seemingly died off in America and the UK.
    But in Israel? The small town clowns are out en masse….

  • Small town clown mania!!!

    Small town clown mania!!!

    More local news from my personal Homefront of Pennsylvania .. The clown phenomenon (that probably isn’t even happening besides in imaginations) is causing the PA state police to issue w warning!
     ::. But they also admit none of the widespread reports of clowns in the state have been validated..
     
     

    A number of clown related social media posts were displayed this past weekend regarding threats towards school districts in Pennsylvania and throughout the country. Some threats stated that a clown would arrive at the school and “shoot all students and teachers,” while another threat stated they “weren’t clowning around.” Most of the social media posts were attributed to a “clown joke,” possibly linked to numerous clown sightings throughout the nation and the world.
     
     These sightings have not been validated and there are no known threats to schools in Pennsylvania. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to their closest police department.
     Over the last few months, “creepy clowns” have been reported throughout the United States and the world. The media has reported incidents where clowns have stood on the street not moving or speaking, to incidents where creepy clowns attempted to lure children into wooded areas. These sightings have occurred in Wisconsin, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Colorado, Oregon, and Texas.
     
     

     
     They go on to give information on how to contact the police should clowns attack..
     
     
     

  • SEND OUT THE CLOWNS

    SEND OUT THE CLOWNS

    Clowns abound. Still ..

    And getting arrested when found!

    New York MAGAZINE is reporting on the pop culture phenom in a latest September 23 run.. Adam Raymond writes,

    Reports of creepy clowns first emerged in Greenville, South Carolina, where a red-nosed creepo was reportedly trying to lure kids to a house in the woods by flashing wads of cash. Police looked into the claims and found nothing.

    In Alabama, schools across the state ramped up security after reports emerged on social media that clowns were going to attack local high schools with guns. In Ohio, a sheriff’s office is looking for two clowns and advising citizens to contact the department because “we are unsure what their intentions are at this point.” And in Florida, a state where you might think clowns would be among the most normal roadside sightings, police keep getting calls about clowns but are having a hell of time finding them.

    Here in coal country, the news is the same..

    SMALL TOWN CLOWNS

    Frackville PA.. Pottsville PA .. Ashland PA. Supposedly clowns lurking behind scrubs, scaring people at night..  I am dubbing it the small town clown fad.. There are some new stories reported today that Wilkes Barre PA is also having a burst of clowns..

    I have written before that a clown under a street light at midnight holding a balloon could very well be one of the most frightening images one’s mind can endure.. But are these sightings really sightings?

    I have come to a conclusion that some of these local sightings are just psychosis..  I don’t think people are seeing nearly as many clowns as they 1) report they are and 2) think they are..

    The whole fad is also being driven by the media–a media that decides to use stock images of ghoulish clowns or Pennywise from IT in their news articles..

    This past week, the Frackville police here in my local area thought it would be wise to post an image of clowns with a report that they are in the neighborhood.. the story took off like a rocket, to the point where kids on school buses were scaring little kids about deadly clowns behind woods. It is the stuff urban legends are made of.. or even local yokel legends.. Nonetheless, I have it from a good source that some of the local police departments professing word of clown sightings are now regretting their early decisions. Almost annoyed with the number of sightings that are being reported through social media..

    Last night, under the Friday night lights of coal region football, the plays on the field were the second topic. Up first: Who is dressing up like clowns and terrorizing a region. I bet that topic was also being discussed around America from coast to coast.. and beyond to the rest of the planet where the phenomenon is popping up.

    My prediction stands: We will face a clown deluge from now until Halloween night. When it gets cold, the masks were come off and attention will be turned to the next fad. But until then clowns will abound.

    Keep calm, Earth.
