Hudson Falls Clown Sightings

They're back. Yes, the Clowns.

There has been increased media attention to reports of human criminal clown activity.

Two men wearing clown masks held up a Queens, New York, Walgreen's at gunpoint on May 22, 2018.

Then at the Little Caesars pizza shop in Holly Hill, Florida, around 11:50 pm on May 26, 2018, a "clown" attacked an employee closing up the store. The "clown" used a wooden post. The employee pulled out his concealed weapon and shot the attacker dead.

Now, sightings of a Phantom Clown described variously with a "clown mask," and/or with  "red hair and red pants," near the Hudson Falls Primary School, occurred on May 29, 2018.

(See "Phantom Clowns: Classified," for the definition and differences between Phantom Clowns, Killer Clowns, and Stalking Clowns.)

The Post-Star (Glens Falls, NY) 5-31-18, pg. 3, notes, "Police looking into 'clown' sighting near Kingsbury school."

Meanwhile, in Rhode Island, even one bizarre death has been laid to a musician "clowning around." 

The clowns are back, indeed.

Update:

Tim Binnall chimes in with his June 4, 2018, insights, reconfirming the notion, "Are Creepy Clowns Coming Back?" at Coast to Coast AM. 

Then on June 14, 2018, I was asked to be a guest on Slate's Decoder Ring podcast to talk about "Phantom Clowns." It is clear that the media attention is increasing regarding Clown reports in 2018.

Willa Paskin was the host, and Benjamin Frisch was the producer. I'll post the link when they are ready.

Clown Killed at Little Caesars

Clowns. Clown masks. Clown masks. And more clown masks.

Two men wearing clown masks held up a Queens pharmacy at gunpoint on May 22, 2018. This caused a Twitter user to post this tweet:

Then it was only four days until the next evil clown story.

Heriberto Feliciano, 28, was closing up the Little Caesars pizza shop in Holly Hill, Florida, around 11:50 pm on Saturday, May 26, 2018. A "clown" was waiting for him at the side door and attacked him with a wooden post. When the post broke, the masked man pushed Feliciano to the ground and tried to stab him with scissors. Feliciano retrieved a concealed firearm and fired four to five shots at close range. The masked man died at the hospital. Source.

The Holly Hill Police Department released the photograph of the mask (at top) worn by the individual who attacked the Little Caesars employee.
