Just a heads up to anyone in Greenville SC, or visiting there:

There are people dressed up as clowns trying to lure kids to come with them into the woods behind apartment complexes. They've been seen carrying weapons, and they have even beaten on some people's doors. It's pretty scary right now, so look out for each other and be safe. I am not going out at night alone for a while T^T

creepy that clown is not funny

I hope it stops soon

I hope people stay safe! <3

Dang.Hope it'll stop.

wow take care

Maybe some Dollars should check it out on Greenville. I would. That's the purpose of the Dollars to get involved.

Kawai na! Be careful everyone!

Everyone at Greenville be careful. I don't want anyone from the Dollars - or anyone in general - being in danger from people like this.

There are always people like that no matter where you are in the world. Always look at your surroundings especially at night. While you will have light to assist you in the day, the only things that won't lie to you at night is the shadows, they always follow every movement of their owner. Trust me

1. where is Greenville
2. BE CAREFUL
3. Someone needs to teach these psychopaths a lesson!!!

Don't bring psychopaths into this creepy mess =__= neurotypicals can be just as and even more twisted.

Did someone say psychopath? *smiles twistedly*

There Have been reported sightings of these clowns in WV, Va, and SC. Kinda scary when you think about it.

I'm tired of this shit happening in all of the areas of the world. Psychopaths trying to make nightmares into a reality seriously pisses me off. Clowns or not, people do this without makeup.

>>6 Thanks Renze! No one has been hurt, so that is good. But it is not stopping either!

If there are any Dollars in Greensville, I suggest Taking a party of atleast 5 Members around once in the day and night, each one have a pocket knife and their phones, obviously. Pherhaps bring some baseball bats, for the intimidation factor if nothing else. You could do patrols like this, hoping to scare them off. Then again, they are physcopaths.

The idea of going around with weapons, which sounds a little like dangerous gang activity, could be not so smart. Maybe just going in groups with some way of protecting yourselves could be a little smarter. Not to butt in, I just thought maybe acting like an actual street gang might cause unnecessary trouble.

So wut do you think there after us

" ...said police have increased patrols in the areas where clowns were sighted."
let them do their job, no sense in having our members go into a potentially lethal situation, you see them? call the police.
the police probably wont catch them right away, and these people may even be teenagers pulling a gag, but the situation will be resolved just give it time.

I agree. People are really on edge right now, and some are firing shotguns into the woods to scare them away. Seeing people that look dangerous would probably cause more problems, but I think any dollar who wants to connect with other dollars and help keep people safe is lovely. Here is an update on everything - so far it's spreading to other states, but nothing has been solved yet
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/09/creepy-clown-sightings-unsolved-despite-arrests.html

New sightings in Indiana now any other Dollars in IN stay safe and protect your family I'm literally scarred cause of them not because clowns because the messed up things their doing like why even do it

Sightings in Mississippi too. It was said they are trying to lure kids into the woods. Be on the look out Dollars. Keep people safe and aware. Don't let the scary news get to you though. Be smart.

There's one in Stubenville OH
chasing people with a machete at 3am

There's a few in Wilmington too
http://www.wwaytv3.com/2016/09/07/creepy-clowns-have-wilmington-neighborhood-on-edge/

They are now in Maryville TN.(Close to Knoxville) Two schools near me were closed for a few days because of it.

We need to unplug this cord and stop it than. Dress youraelf up as a clown and follow them back to their base.

Guys, all the clowns are just Frat boys trying to get a few scares. Right now is the time where all of the new fraternity members have to start pledging and going through initiation. Just ignore the stories about clowns, and they'll go away.

Even little towns are getting hit, my friend said he was getting knocks on the window and knew it was them.

I have heard rumors about clowns over here in Hicksville, people say they hang around our high school.

Feels like there's a purge coming

chay

This whole thing with the clowns its something that happened in the late 70s to the 80s my friends mom encountered with one of them back in Massachusetts. These things are no joke .

Guys we should do something about this All of the Dollars in SC should get together and stop this nonsense before someone gets hurt especially on of our own i heard this happened before like the 70'S or something

And also Stephen's kings book it was based on it

This is serious ?

Holyshitholyshit I hate clowns! All aboard the nope train guys? I'm out.

Update: sightings are spreading farther south, I've heard that there's been some sightings in metro Atl but here is concrete evidence of them in Florida..
http://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2016/09/26/creepy-clown-caught-on-video-creeping-around-central-florida

Everyone be safe; the ones with just masks and civilian clothes are rumored to be dangerous as they can easier blend in with others by removing their masks, the ones in full "clown uniform" apparently appear in groups but don't do anything more than stand around (as opposed to the other type that has been seen carrying chains and actually seeking out people) idk if this is a hoax or what but they're creepy as hell

Even the Rolling Stone is talking about it now! I cannot understand why something hasn't been done yet. I hate it I hate it

SHIT THEYRE IN FLORIDA OMG

I heard Alabama schools also had a lock down because of the gloom klowns threatening students.

Be careful. I think as dollars we should be on the lookout. Phone in hand to notifie the police. That would be the best help we can give.

They have been getting reports of these creepy clowns through the United States now! Stay safe and keeps your eyes pealed fellow Dollars!

we should a pack a weapon

I mean, even if it's not to hurt them, we can still scare the crap out of them. As Dollars, we probably wanna stay out of any violent conflicts. Lay low.

The sightings have spread across the entire U.S, the only states that have NOT been affected so far are:
California
Connecticuit
Delaware
Iowa
Kansas
Maine
Massachussetts
Minnesota
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hapmshire
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Utah
Vermont
Wyoming
Stay safe, don't be alone at night.
And please, Please be careful on Halloween. I have a bad feeling about it this year, godspeed.

Philadelphia police say they have identified a 13-year-old girl who made so-called "clown threats" toward local schools. Although she claimed it was a jest, the girl started a dangerous trend.

This has gotten outta hand, I feel like us dollars have to do something.

>>48 The Dollars may be big in number, but we're scattered throughout the world. It will be difficult for the Dollars to act on something like this because of that. Don't get me wrong, I would love to stop this shit because I hate clowns with all my being, and it can be done, it would just be extremely difficult. There's also the fact that the clowns have been seen with weapons, so it also makes it dangerous. I would say to contact the police, but they can't do much without capturing one of the clowns and bringing it in for questioning.

Conspiracy Theory: Unknown Division is behind the Clown Kidnappings

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUCKING CLOWNS..LIKE NOW!!!!!This is starting to get out of hand really quick and my family is getting really scared. Us dollars need to something!

hahaha, us dollars cant really do that much, can we? if things are getting out of hand you need to go out and get a means of self defense.

anrisonohara is right i'm not from USA actually but i've heard about the clowns and together you can save those children who are in danger by helping with giving any information to the police or when you see a child walk alone take him home or keep him company ! we are dollars remember ? this is why we banded for

>>51 Anyone who lives in the same place should all join make a huge group and take the clowns out by their self as a group.

I repeat, do not go after these Clowns. Not even in a group. They have been dodging police and avoided capture for a reason; they are extremely dangerous. They're stealthy and know how to get away, and I once again will bring up that They Have Weapons. Unless you know how to actually fight and know how to handle weapons, go ahead.

People have been posting reports of those clown guys here in Ireland too. Am I the only one who thinks this whole clown thing is just some stupid prank someone pulled? I mean think about it. This this started in October; the month of all things spooky and creepy. I think this is all just some dumb prank, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I guess.
-Akumu Nazo.

I live in Anderson far but not myrtle beach far. I haven't seen anything here but I would be down for a meet up to take some names if anyone is down. Will let you know if I see anything around here though.

This clown sensation has spread from the U.S. and is now making its way through Australia and other countries as well. As far as I know, the idea behind it is just to spook people and it's intended to be harmless. However, because it's become so big, anyone can chuck on a clown mask, go off and do whatever they want. Apparently there was a stabbing at some point.

What I'm saying is that some of these clowns are harmless pranksters, but others could be awful people using the media sensation to their advantage. Be careful out there, and if you see a clown please avoid it. Don't take photos or film them.

If you're in Australia and would like an update on clown sightings and locations there is a Facebook page dedicated to it here: https://www.facebook.com/ClownSightingsAustralia/

Stay safe everyone.

Can sb explain this clown thing to me. I'm in Vietnam, so I know nothing about it, but from the looks of it it seems quite scary 😨

I'm not sure if this is true but I heard something about the clowns going out on halloween and killing people.

I think its just a fake.. Probably you see all time just a prank or fake. So i Nevers go outside just for '' Halloween '' so im sure for that.

Not killing people but I'm almost certain that they are there trying to get a good scare in and some sick laughs for themselves.

I dont think they'd have the stones to kill. All reports I've seen so far were about clowns getting attacked back by thenpeople they try to scare lol

Ya. All my friends say they kill, but others say they are just pranking people. It's still best to run first tho. Just in case. =D

There's some that have shown up in Michigan. This is getting to be very concerning...

There are around 2,500 people dressed as clowns in the US so far. I'm not sure if it's real but some people say that the 'clowns' have a "Target List" for schools and things like that.

In regards to the clowns- they're in at least 40 states; at least that's as much as it's been reported. In any case, they; very much like the dollars, don't conspire amongst each other and very much follow their own regimes. Some just want to be creepy, others kidnap and even kill. You need to be careful, certainly. The U.K has even set in place a bit of a skit to reassure children involving Batman, but I find that to be very much an accident on their part.
Firstly, those kids will grow up to think it's okay taking matters in their own hands. Secondly, if they ever actually see a creepy clown; they'll entrust their safety well too much in a power that doesn't actually exist.
Who's to say, after all that the people who are protecting themselves from this aren't even more dangerous? Because to presume so much on the misdeeds of one may lead to another's innocent death- whom just wanted to be a little spooky in spirit of a holiday.
See, just like the dollars who got beat up in presumption of the horrid actions of it's worst members. Those clowns have no association with each other. Not for the most part. I highly doubt it, anyway, as it would be hard to get just 40 clowns organized let alone several clowns spread across 40 states.

I live in England and clowns have started appearing, quite a few of them outside of schools. There's even been a few arrested. Apparently the purge is going to be on the 29th October.

We have the first problems with this clowns now too (germany). Nothing "realy" bad happened till now, but there was a case where a clown chased a kid so much it completely paniked and hurt itself realy bad when climbing over fences to escape. I realy hope nothing worse will happen.

It's happening over here in Hawaii also. They've been all over the islands. Some kids got kidnapped and two people are dead with no murder found at the scenes. Except for two clown masks, one of the corpses were wearing the mask as if to say that something big is coming. I seriously think that this is ridiculous. People are copying a movie for crying out loud, but anyways. Just make sure to be careful Dollars. Especially on 30th and the 31st. Be safe.

The clown purge is happening in Australia too. Better keep something with you to protect yourself. Some clowns are capable of many things that could hurt you so keep an eye on your surroundings~

>>70 seriously dude if that's real post a fucking news link here, no news link = not news and didn't happen.

>>71
This thread will become a spiderman thread if people keep posting bullshit like that.

Here some news from germany, I think most of you cannot read german so I will repeat in short what happens here. http://www.berliner-zeitung.de/panorama/faelle-in-nrw-horror-clowns-verletzen-mann-mit-messer-und-erschrecken-kinder-24946458

A 33 year old, deaf man was attacked with a knife by a clown and was lightly hurt. Because he is deaf, he needed a friend to call the police for him.

A 14 year old boy was chased from a clown with a baseball bat and hurt himself on the hand when he tried to escape over some fences. This was the case I talked about in my last post.

Two jung men where threatend by a clown with a gun, but nothing happend luckily.

So, this madness arrived all over the world it seems. One of the less well things the internet is to blame for. :/

I realy, realy hope it will not get more out of hand and finds an end no later then after halloween.

The murder clowns are in Nz too >_< I'm so scared ;-;

I find something fishy about these clowns. The police should put more forces out there to protect all of us

What is with all of these clowns? And why clowns?

It's been like that in NV too. Is it true? It sounds pretty creepy and screwed up. I lost faith in humanity because of it.

I swear the clown craze are almost everywhere these days. Australia, in the UK and even in Germany.

I find it so funny though that a guy dressed as Batman has been stopping them
