There have been reports of more clowns in America spotted lurking in the woods.
In the past month, police in the Carolinas have received multiple reports from people claiming clowns with white-painted faces were acting strangely in the area – at least once attempting to lure kids into the woods with money.
The reports have fueled speculation that the sightings could be a hoax, or possibly even morbid fans trying to promote the 2017 movie release of Stephen King's It, about an evil clown known as Pennywise that terrorized a group of young boys.
One local TV station wondered if Rob Zombie's upcoming film, about a group of kidnapped carnival workers, might be involved in guerrilla marketing – but the distributor said they were not.

Witnesses said the reported clown sightings have included various descriptions,
with differences in both race and costume, and that at that point police
had found no evidence supporting the sightings. Days later, on Sept. 4,
residents in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, reportedly saw a clown
attempting to entice kids into the woods with treats, the Associated Press reports.
Police said two children saw the clown, and an adult heard the clown, according to the news agency. Police responded to the area but found no signs of the creepy character, who was seen wearing white overalls, white gloves, red shoes with red bushy hair, a white face and a red nose.
