The site of a clown is supposed to bring laughter and joy to anyone. This weekend some people thought becoming part of the bigger phenomenon, spreading worldwide, would be fun to do. Five of them surround two young boys Friday night. They did not say a word and did not physically harm them, but scared the boys to the point that they ran to a complete stranger to ask for help. The stranger was a woman who was walking her dog. She walked the boys home so they would be safe.

On Saturday social media came alive as some clowns were spotted at the skate park. Another was spotted downtown looking into a restaurant window. In all the sightings no one was physically hurt. It is unclear if these were the same people in scary clown masks or not.
