Nocturnal Jester Creepy Even For Britain

“A sinister looking clown has been stalking the streets at night in a town north of London, becoming an online sensation and sparking a hunt for the person behind the mask…. While the clown looks terrifying, so far it has only been spotted waving creepily at residents and standing on street corners holding a bunch of balloons and sometimes a teddy bear.”
 — It’s the teddy bear part that really does it for me. Maybe it’s the “at night” part. Anyway, this being the world in which we live now, “The clown’s Facebook page has more than 21,000 likes and users have posted numerous photos of it lurking around the town.” [Via]
