I don't mean people doing a gag or PR for a movie or something like that. I mean a figment of the imagination of the kids.<br /><br />Notice that all the reports are from pre-teens. And the story itself sounds like something out of a movie. Its the kind of thing that young kids would totally believe is true. So a couple of kids told an exaggerated story and some incredulous adults told some other incredulous adults and it just sort of "went viral."<br /><br />Now lots and lots of kids have it in the back of their heads, especially when their parents "warn" them to be careful. So now maybe they are bored, or maybe they stayed out playing longer than they should and in order to avoid getting punished they tell the story of running away from a clown. And it just snowballs from there.<br /><br />There are no psycho clowns, just kids with over-active imaginations. Here's an even crazier story about mass poisonings of school-girls in Afghanistan. All just hysterical kids acting out.<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/9376348/Poisonings-at-Afghan-girls-schools-likely-mass-hysteria-not-Taliban-says-report.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
