A couple months ago, there was a report of a creepy clown walking around town, but it turned out to be a planned ad (for lack of a better word) for someone's movie, right? And they came out and said it wasn't really a creepy clown doing nefarious things. I feel like around that same time (sometime this summer), I heard about a weird clown lurking near an apartment complex somewhere luring kids into the dark?
So are the current clown incidents just an extension of that from a couple months ago? Are these real threats? Two local police departments posted on FB today that the clown threats around here are a hoax and no one has reported a threatening clown. So is the idea this is all a big hoax or has someone actually gotten hurt by a creepy clown as of late?
Sorry if this has already been discussed or I am way behind the times. I honestly thought there had only been the two incidents I described in my first paragraph and had no idea this was ongoing until I saw those FB posts today and then read a bit more about it.
We got a letter from the archdiocese today about the threats. It was vague but I believe it was related to the clowns. It was reported later that a 14 year old made the threats. I think it's a hoax that is spreading and going viral. People are posting videos of clowns lurking in the dark. I don' think anything has happened for real though.
From what I read there have been sightings (?) of creepy clowns all over the country trying to lure kids into the forest. Like I said several PD around here have come out with official statements about it and one friend who is a mom even had the school send home a note about the clowns. I am as confused as you though. I thought this happened over the summer.

Ok good. Glad to hear it's just a hoax and nothing serious and no one got hurt.
You haven't heard about this? There have been creepy clown sightings in various towns. I don't know too much about it myself other than the occasional posting about it popping up in my fb feed.....

We've actually had a few reported around here. Chasing cars and people in parking lots. Nothing about luring kids though. I couple people have gotten 1 on security cameras at night, and he's creepy as fuck.

Does Lucy go to my school? On Friday ours made an announcement that said: "I know some local school districts are closed today because of the clown threats, but you don't need to worry about them. They are just threats and the clowns haven't killed anybody or anything." Uh, what? Just STOP talking. (We did have a couple local districts closed because of threats made by clowns, but why the hell would you talk about it over the morning announcements with elementary kids?)SaveSave

We got a letter from the superintendent (south jersey) saying it was a rumor but they are sending cops to talk to the kids about it bc that is all the kids are talking about.

The town where DDs preschool is had clown sightings a few days ago. It was in a neighborhood within walking distance to 4 different schools. It really weirded me out. They aren't the average "fun looking" clown. It's very creepy.
OMG I can't believe principals are telling little KIDS about this. I can see sending something to parents if they feel they need to but then let the parents decide if or how they want to discuss it with their kids.

We got an email from our school district yesterday that there had been unsubstantiated clown threats, but they thought they were a hoax but they were adding extra security at the schools. I had no idea what they were talking about. What are the clowns threatening to do?
there was a sighting near a local school. pokice were called but nothing ever came of it
there was a 13 uear old arrested for making clown related threats on social media. she said she was going to shoot a bunch of kids and teachers at a specific parochial school
From what I can tell, about 95% of them are a hoax. There was one kid that was arrested for being a clown. I'm not sure how that is going to stick, though, since it's not illegal to dress as a clown.
