There's a report from Chicago that a clown tried to kidnap a 1 year old from his mother's arms.
If this was to be a publicity stunt it's gotten out of hand.
EDITED: forgot to say I'm not linking to the story yet because I'm skeptical.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

Here's a article in Rolling Stones. Apparently this is not the first time we had creepy clowns.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostI keep hearing people say that, but I certainly don't remember any incidences. Certainly none that led to this amount of paranoia by normal folks. Maybe Darfius is right and this is just another cog in the Great Delusion!!

Of course, there's plenty of craziness going on elsewhere....Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

While there's certainly been enough media to fuel 'clowns as scary', that doesn't begin to account for kids that already find clowns (and other costumed people) scary despite a complete lack of exposure to that media.
Even people dressed up as beloved characters can be scary to kids. My daughter is that way. Real people in dress up clothes she's cool with. People in huge mascot-esque body suits she doesn't like at all.
All clowns aren't created equal, either. The rodeo clown with rags and face paint is a far cry from the caricatured features of those with wigs, giant shoes and over-sized clothing.I'm not here anymore.

There were 2 sightings in my town last night. One kid (along with his Mommy) turned himself in this morning.
There was also a threat from clowns at a school in the Big City this morning. Police are not amused.
