Clowns

Post by ReHerakhte »

So what's happening there in merry old England? Allegedly there's a clown causing some frights in Northhampton and nobody knows who it is or why they're doing it. The "breaking news" heading below the Atlantic Wire article (2nd listing below) has a link to a photo that is apparently of the clown in question.
Now I'm not a particular fan of Stephen King but this seems like something conjured right out of his imagination (but it would seem it's most likely just some local students pulling pranks).

Most likely it is just someone messing around, but bear in mind that Northampton is responsible for such weirdness as Alan Moore and Bauhaus :twisted:

A mate sent me this story, it was very reminiscent of his Call of Cthulhu character: A former Mancunian drug dealer turned children's entertainer. Psychoville was a major reference point.

Edit: The whole thing's getting a bit out of hand now.
