Just when you thought it was safe to go outside....
Suspicious Clown Sightings Under Investigation By Pennsylvania State Police
The Pennsylvania incidents are among a broader rash of odd clown sightings nationwide.
An outbreak of suspicious clown sightings reported across the country has spread to Pennsylvania, where state police are investigating.
State police in Huntington County filed a report stating a clown sighting is currently under investigation there. The incident involved "unknown actor(s) dressed as a clown." No threats were made, police said, and no description of the clown was provided.
Nonetheless, Pennsylvania State Police warned residents "if you observe an individual dressed as a clown on your property or along county roadways you are encouraged to call State Police."
The incident isn't the only one involving allegedly creepy clowns in Pennsylvania in recent days.
Earlier this week, authorities in Schuylkill County were investigating a report of clowns harassing children near a playground.
“A clown started chasing us up here and turned around and went back to the woods. So we thought it was gone, turned around, broke a stick and threw it at us and started calling us, cursing at us, it was scary,” a girl identified as only Brianne told WNEP. “Yes, a clown did this.”
And in Cambria County on Monday, a "creepy clown in a teal outfit" was reportedly peeking in someone’s window, state police in Ebensburg said, according to a report by The Tribune-Democrat.
The Pennsylvania incidents are among a broader rash of odd clown sightings nationwide.
Reports of clowns trying to lure children into the woods were recently under investigation in Greenville, South Carolina. Other sightings have been reported in Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and Maryland. However, authorities believe many of these reports are unsubstantiated, the Washington Post says.

A local sighting just occurred near me, I had to fight my way though a huddle of mothers and their little kids in Dollar General this morning. "I'm so scared"..."they should arrest anyone they see in a clown suit". ::)
Just be aware...dressing up like Pennywise is probably a poor choice for a Halloween costume this year.
-
Ban clown suits! :arrr:
-
Fucking bizarre.
Weren't there sightings in a costal state like Virginia too??
-
I keep going back to the mention of a clown wearing a teal outfit.
Rather a subdued and classy look for, essentially, a painted buffoon. :rofl:
-
If it's some sort of weird joke, then well enough, but the part about harassing kids is a bit out of line.
-
I look for this to ramp up a few notches before Halloween...until some 16 or 17 yr old possibly gets shot scaring the hell out of some little kids.
Clown costume sales are already doing well on Fleabay and seem to be climbing.

Had a clown sighting here a few days ago. It's a nationwide thing now.

One of these times, a clown is going to get a faceful of Mace. Laugh at that! :hahaha: :trollface:
On a related note, it's not a good time to be an actual legitimate clown. :-\

I think it's going to happen more often if the clown idiocy continues.
