The residents of Fleetwood Manor Apartments in Greenville, South Carolina, have a clown problem. At first no one believed the kids that were reporting the mysterious clown in the woods. “I thought my child was seeing things,” Donna Arnold told WHNS-TV said. “And then the next day I had about 30 kids come up to me and say, ‘Did you see the clown in the woods?”
Last week, the residents received a letter from the apartment complex encouraging them to abide by the apartment’s 10 p.m. curfew, and not to let their children walk alone at night.
