PICTURE: Creepy Clown Is No Laughing Matter

If you suffer from Coulrophobia, the fear of clowns, we apologise in advance.

Someone took a Friday the 13^th a little more serious than others… Over the weekend a person has been spotted roaming the streets of an English town dressed up as a clown.

‘The Northampton Clown’ has become an Internet sensation over the weekend after various sightings at different locations around the town.

Many folk have been left terrified by the creepy clown, others find the fact that someone has dressed exactly like the lead character from Stephen King’s horror film, ‘IT’, hilarious.

Pennywise, from King's horror film, 'IT'.

Northampton Herald and Post reports that: "He doesn't juggle. He doesn’t twist balloons into animal shapes. He just stares.''

Police have said that they are looking to track down two teenagers believed to be responsible for the clowning around.

 

We must admit, we don’t think we’d be laughing if he was staring through our window.
