The poor residents of Northampton, England, are living in a nightmare scenario straight out of a Stephen King novel right now.
The clown isn't doing anything violent, mind you, so it's exactly like a Steven King novel. But it's close! Because clowns are terrifying, and they scare people. The Northampton Herald & Post reports clowns have been popping up in random places all across town lately, so much so that a hashtag and a Facebook group were created to track the sightings. The Northampton Chronicle reports police believe multiple people are behind the clown sightings. A warning was issued so residents wouldn't be so startled the next time a clown is standing in the middle of the side walk.
