last year around Halloween several clown
sightings were reported all over the
country
everyone was unsettled by the idea of
creepy clown standing in wooded areas
and staring as cars or pedestrians
walked by it seems this year the trend
has spread like wildfire and even worse
the clown's have begun to do more than
just stand and stare some clowns have
started chasing down people on walking
trails chasing cars going down dark
roads creating social media pages to
threaten schools robbing both stores and
individuals and allegedly even luring
children into the woods with promises of
cash or candy but another aspect of the
clown frenzy that we have to think about
is who are the true creepy clowns and
who are just thugs and drug addicts
piggybacking on this in order to not be
caught everyone should take precaution
this year as clowns seem to be popping
up all over the nation and truly could
be a threat to your safety these five
stories showed just how dangerous and
creepy these clowns can be throughout
the video I will also be playing videos
from people who have recorded their
alleged clown encounter keep in mind the
stories I'm narrating in the videos
you're seeing on screen are not
connected to each other but they're all
from this year and are very recent as
well as the stories now that that's out
of the way let's begin number five
clowns luring children there have been
several cases of clowns luring children
into wooded areas but several of them
have been deemed false one case in
winston-salem North Carolina had a
little more proof to back it up than
other reports two children and one adult
were walking near the outskirts of the
woods when the children wandered a
little too close to the entry of the
woods they claimed a clown wearing white
overalls and a red wig came up to them
and offered them candy or money if they
came into the woods with him to play the
adult overheard the male voice and ran
up to get the children the clown quickly
ran the opposite way before the adult
could catch a glimpse officers say there
was no proof of a clown in the woods but
it wasn't completely impossible as the
clown could have parked a car at a
separate entrance and fled the scene
before a unit arrived
apparently later that day an anonymous
phone call alerted police that the same
clown was
back in the same wooded area but once
again there was no sign when officers
arrived number four
sex offender in costume one of the most
notorious serial killers and rapists and
history doubled as a clown for
children's parties not to mention
countless adults have admitted that they
were either raped or molested by a party
clown during their childhood it isn't
unusual for pedophiles and rapists to
take jobs that allow them to get closer
to their victims but the idea of a sick
and twisted rapist sporting a clown
costume to get closer to women or
children makes it all the more
unsettling take that horrible image and
put it on a walking trail in a wooded
area and you've got a pure nightmare a
Winchester woman was jogging down a
walking trail one morning when she was
attacked by a man wearing a full clown
suit
Winchester police have yet to release
the name or age of the woman attacked or
any possible suspects according to the
victim she was jogging down the trail
when the clown jumped out from a bush
covered area and tried to drag her to
the woods while simultaneously trying to
pull her pants down she was able to
fight him off by injuring his leg
she then sprinted to the safety of her
car and called 911 Chester police are
certain this attack was carried out by a
sex offender in our investigating there
registry as well as looking for signs of
someone with a leg injury the Winchester
Police Department as well as local
newspapers had published and posted
safety tips in relation to walking
trails sexual assault and of course the
recent rise in clown sightings number
three clown shoots man a Houston man was
sitting alone in his apartment around
11:00 p.m. when the door was thrown open
and a man in a clown suit came charging
in he pistol-whipped the resident and
shot him in the head
luckily the bullet only grazed the back
of his neck and was not a fatal shot the
clown began to run off but quickly came
back he ransacked the apartment and
stole under $100 in cash before fleeing
the scene without a word the resident
claimed that he doesn't believe the
attack was truly robbery based and that
it was more of an afterthought to cover
the true nature of this creepy crime
mostly because of the way the clown
returned as if he forgot to do something
number two full-on attack
Kim Youngblood a 45 year old woman from
Redding Pennsylvania was attacked on her
own front porch by a man in a clown suit
it was 2:30 a.m. and Youngblood was
sitting on the front porch of her
apartment smoking a cigarette when a man
wearing a clown mask and holding a blunt
object approached her she began to
scream and he grabbed her abruptly by
the neck he slightly choked her as he
said I should just kill you now
Youngblood begged for her life but the
masked freaks only response was some
students and teachers would never wish
they were born at the junior and senior
high school tomorrow
he was referring to the local junior and
senior high schools which police
immediately reported to local
superintendents a loud beeping possibly
an alarm or cell phone from a neighbors
window startled the clown and he pushed
Youngblood down before fleeing the
victim was taken to a hospital for
observation but had no serious injuries
this threat caused schools to shut down
as students were advised to stay home
and out of public dangerous areas number
one boy chased by knife wielding clown a
14-year old high school student from
Columbus Ohio was faced with a
nightmarish morning one day on his way
to school the student was walking from
his home to his bus stop when a man
wearing all black and a clown mask began
to chase after him the student claimed
that the clown emerged from a nearby
parking lot and yelled out for the boy
to stop he was also allegedly holding a
knife in one hand as he raced after the
teenager the victim was able to throw a
large rock at the clown's head which
slowed him down enough for the boy to
make it to his bus stop and board the
bus which was going in the opposite
direction the teen reported the incident
to his bus driver as well as his
principal as soon as he got to campus
police are patrolling the area in which
the attack occurred as similar incidents
involving teens and children continue to
sweep the nation these strange clown
happenings have led to the closing of
several schools across the nation as
well as nearly every Police Department
making some statement in relation to
clown safety Halloween stores have begun
pulling clown related costumes
off their shelves to help prevent the
spread of crimes many think this hoax is
some violent promo for the upcoming it
movie however the directors and
producers have claimed they have no
involvement with these untimely attacks
as for now the clowns are mostly
creeping around with actual crimes being
rare and isolated cases but it's still
important to remain vigilant and safe
this Halloween if you plan on dressing
as a clown for the holiday or you
somehow think it's a good idea to join
in on the viral joke just keep in mind
that the police are not taking this
lightly furthermore as this problem
grows citizens are taking matters into
their own hands such as shooting at the
masked pranksters and even ganging up on
them and beating them please be safe
this October and thanks for watching
