2016 clown sightings

2016 clown sightings were reports of people disguised as clowns

The 2016 clown sightings are reports of people dressed up as evil clowns scaring and stalking passersby, such as near forests and schools.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and other clown-related businesses have been affected.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] This was a case of mass hysteria with some marketing and a lot of social media.
