CA freaked by frightening night clowns

A clown 'project' in Wasco, CA, that appears to have started as a couple's Instagram project, is spreading and has gone wrong.

Initially, people began just posting pictures of themselves dressed as scary clowns and loitering about at night. But now the craze has spread to Bakersfield, where a bunch of kids were chased and had their wits scared out of them. Now police have issued a stern warning: they want the clown craze to stop, and will be making arrests if it doesn't.

In addition to walking down the street, the so-called creepy clown comes and goes in Zimmer Park, located in the middle of the development.

But as the sun set Sunday evening, the clown, affectionately nicknamed “Creepy,” was nowhere to be seen.

One neighbor thought it was a good idea not because she was scared, but because she was worried the clown was making families feel uneasy. Bothering people apparently wasn’t the clown’s intention, according to a poetic message left behind at Zimmer Park, near the area the clown was often seen.
