Is it safe to say this is right out of a Stephen King Novel. Police are investigating a clown sighting near an apartment complex in Greenville, South Carolina. Community activist Bruce Wilson told the television station he is getting involved at the apartments to make sure children are safe, even if the sightings turn out to be harmless. We can only hope it is harmless, but dressed as a clown, persuading children to enter a wooded lot, waving money, it does not sound like a church choir is being formed.
Authorities told Fox Carolina they were called to the complex after residents reported seeing “a suspicious character, dressed in circus clown attire and white face paint, enticing kids to follow him/her into the woods.”Another resident of the complex also reported seeing a “large-figured clown with a blinking nose” standing under a streetlight near the trash dumpsters. Deputies spoke with children, who told them the clown tried to “persuade them into the woods further by displaying large amounts of money.”
I like the fact that there are people mobilizing a watch of the area to protect the children. This day and age is much different then when I was a young child, far more dangerous and it is encouraging to see parents getting involved, it’s the only way we can progress as a society. What do you think?
