Halloween is almost upon us! Just 11 days to go! Do you know what you’re going to be yet? A nurse? A cute kitty? How about a good ol’ fashioned cowgirl? Or maybe something scarier is the way you like to go! A vampire? A scary ghost? Or maybe a clown…?

We’ve all heard about the crazy clown sightings that have been taking over their own little corner of the internet recently. And this Halloween season, clown costume sales have gone up 300%!

What started out as an odd occurrence of two people dressed up as clowns trying to lure a boy into the woods in Greenville, South Carolina has spread not only across the U.S. but also across oceans! There have been multiple sightings of creepy clowns across the States, even as close to home as Winston-Salem!

The occurrences have been getting so bad, real professional clowns are losing business because of the negativity towards all clowns.

So you better watch out! There’s definitely going to be some spooky things going on this Halloween!
