Clowns Seem To Be In The News Today,

and no, I am not talking about politicians,

the first article is about a mystery clown that appeared on Friday 13th. in Northampton, scaring residents by lingering on street corners in full fancy dress, for the second night running it (he?), was spotted again yesterday, under the cloak of darkness on Cedar Road in the north-east of the city, with its white face, drawn-on brows, a red wig and ruffled collar, it is a carbon copy of the Pennywise clown from Stephen King-inspired 1990 horror film, IT, the scary apparition-like sight has also been seen standing on a pavement waving with a teddy hanging between its fingers in its other hand,


in the second clown story Pennsylvania police said a minivan with two clowns inside crashed outside the York Fair around 6 p.m. Wednesday when the driver missed the entrance and collided with an SUV while making a U-turn, the minivan was also pulling a trailer with a clown car, police said the driver, 83-year-old James Billingsley of York, also known as "Dimples the Clown," suffered a minor bump on the head, His passenger clown, 77-year-old Norman Clouser of York, was unhurt, police said "Dimples" was wearing clown shoes but the oversized footwear apparently didn't play a role in the crash, West York Borough police Sgt. Brad Thomas said both vehicles had to be towed, He didn't know if the clowns ever made it to the fair,


in case you do not know some people have a phobia about clowns, it is called Coulrophobia., I just hope none of the residents in Northampton suffer from it!
