Worst Fears Comes True for Town Terrorized by 'Spooky Clown'
Can you imagine living every moment of your day in constant, unshakable fear of running into a evil-looking red-haired clown holding a bouquet of balloons?
Well, that is the exact description of daily life for the residents of Northampton, England, who are presently being terrorized by a "spooky clown" of unknown origin.
Local police have issued a warning following multiple sighting of the costumed creep — or creeps — and at least two hashtags have been created to track the Stephen King fanatic's every move.
A Facebook page claiming to be associated with the Northampton Clown has debunked several popular rumors related to the stunt, including that it is being perpetrated by teenagers, that it is a promotion for the popular "scare attraction" Dr. Fright's Night, and that it is part of a set-up for the filming of a mockumentary about a "local clown."
Meanwhile, the phenomenon has prompted at least one mild-mannered citizen to take matters into his own hands and dub himself The Clown Catcher — the world's most specialized superhero.
