California Clowns

Greetings, hunters of the strange and seekers of the creepy.

My name is Ryder Parker, and I am Fringe Hunter your friend and guide into the mysterious world hidden in the dark. This week I thought I’d spread the news on the recent sightings of creepy clowns  in Bakersfield, California. Yes, you heard me right, hunters, a city in California has become host to a rather ominous figure that has dubbed himself the “Wasco Clown.”

But our creepy friend may not be alone in his terrifying antics as there had been as many as 20 reported sighting in one week, according to ABC News. And even claims that some of the reported Clowns were wielding weapons, but I suspect that the prankster(s) behind this phenomenon are relatively harmless.

The police in the areas haven't even made a real arrest, and that’s because none of the sighted clowns has engaged in criminal behavior (ABC News). And it’s not against the law to be a creepy little bastard; if it were against the law I think America’s prisons would be even more overpopulated than they are now. Here’s looking at you, world!

The only exception to what I stated above is the case of a young man, 14 years old, who was taken into custody for chasing a group of other young men and women in a clown costume. The boy’s punishment: taking a family member to his future prom.

As of yet the authorities have no leads on the vile balloon wielding pennywise of Wasco. And it seems that the prankster(s) may not be ready to hang up their rainbow wigs just yet. So the poor scared residents of California just may lose sleep knowing that their streets are not clowning free.

Until next time, hunters, always remember that when things go bump in the night respond with a bang!
