Clowns have been a part of the news for quite some time. They have been popping all over the place - quite mysteriously - and no one knows why.

The sightings initially began in August in Greenville, South Carolina, when a few youngsters told police that a gathering of clowns offered them cash to tail them into the forested areas. The suspects were never found.

From that point forward, reports of clowns have surfaced in practically every state - and in Canada as well. Accordingly, arrests have been made, and schools have been put on lockdown. 

While secrets flourish about the clowns, most episodes come in two structures: dangers of online networking, frequently coordinated at schools, or sightings of people dressed as clowns, some of which have turned rough. 

Presently, police divisions are getting serious about people crosswise over the nation for dressing as clowns and posting threats on social media. 

While some police units, referring to free discourse, have communicated faltering over arresting somebody just for an outfit, state laws differ. For instance, wearing a cover with the end goal of disguising your character is unlawful in Virginia. 

Various police officers are likewise posting notices to guardians and young people that dressing like a jokester could land you stuck in an unfortunate situation. 

"If someone wants to do this to purposely scare people, we will handle them accordingly," the Orono, Maine police division posted on Facebook

In a few cases, the FBI has even gotten to be included in finding and indicting these clowns. In Detroit, the FBI is putting forth $1,500 for a man blamed for a series of thefts while dressed as a joker. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the FBI is researching a progression of clown related threats made to schools. 

To monitor every one of these episodes, a large group of Twitter records has sprung up to caution concerned people where clowns are being seen.
