News Boys Art and Entertainment LGBT+ RSOL Politics Science, Technology, Health Current events Deaths Send in the clowns by Staff Writer - October 2, 2016 Is it real or a Halloween hoax? Recently South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, New Jersey , Oregon, Kentucky and Tennessee have gone on high alert due to clown sightings. In South Carolina at the end of August, children reported that mysterious clowns tried to lure them into the woods. In Coffee county, Tennessee, police are investigating claims that a clown attacked a juvenile. In Georgia, children reported that three clowns were “wearing face paint and were shining lasers as they ran out of the woods and up and down the street”. An Alabama school was briefly placed on lock down after a post on Facebook stated that clowns were at the school. But is it real? No adults appear to have witnessed these events. However, in two instances the children reported that the clowns had laser pointers. The police investigators are taking these reports very seriously and lets face it, clowns are creepy. As of this time, no arrests have been made although an Arkansas police officer was suspended without pay for dressing up as a clown at home during a family/friend gathering and the pictures later appeared on social media.
