It doesn't matter if you are afraid of clowns or not, this is terrifying.

According to ABC 7, a clown or clowns have reportedly tried to lure kids into the woods in a South Carolina neighborhood.

Donna Arnold told ABC that she called the Greenville County Sheriff's Office to report that her son and some other kids told her that they saw clowns behind the basketball court at the Fleetwood Manor Apartments.

She went on to say, "I thought my child was seeing things, and then the next day I had about 30 kids come up to me and say, did you see the clown in the woods?"

The company that manages the apartment complex has taken the clown threat seriously enough to release a letter to residents that warns them of the dangers of children walking alone at night in or near the woods and that they are requesting that local law enforcement conduct daily patrols of the property due to the reports.
