Depuis peu, on peu croiser un clown errant en se baladant dans les rues de Northampton, au Royaume-Uni :
The sinister clown that has been appearing on Northampton's streets made another visitation last night.
He was pictured in his trademark white make-up and red wig on St Michael's Road waving forlornly with a clown teddy hanging from his other hand.
The appearance came after a posting on the Facebook page
Spot Northampton's Clown promised the clown would be in town.
He said: "
To prove i'm real to all the lovers and doubters, i'll see you in town today. Keep those eyes peeled."
So far the clown as been seen in the Kingsley and Abington areas of the town. St Michael's Road is in the town centre.
The clown has become a sensation on social media with thousands of likes on its Facebook page since it was opened on Friday 13.
Many commenters are finding the clown scary.
Kelly Keen was typical of many: "
You've been spotted now get out of the clown suit and start acting like a grown up that you supposing are and stop scaring people as some people do have real fears of clowns and you are terrorising them despite what you may say."
Her comment came under a posting from the clown which read: "
It's not me in the papers. I don't terrorise people I just want to be spotted."
C'est une nouvelle qui va faire plaisir à tout les coulrophobique, d'autant plus qu'il est vrai que ce type à plus l'air d'un psychopathe que d'un animateur de centre aéré...
