According to sources, there has been various clown sighting in San Diego. We believe that the clown trend will be coming soon. However, there has only been numerous incounters with clowns in only San Diego. People say that it might a prank or something bigger.
Scary clown sightings are being reported in several South Bay locations and local residents are becoming concerned.
Sightings have been reported in Imperial Beach, in Berry Park in Nestor, in Eastlake Chula Vista, and near the Bonita Vista and Castle Park high schools.
The scary clown phenomenon has been reported across the country for several weeks; Utah police had to warn citizens not to shoot “random clowns.”
Lashon Morris of Imperial Beach called the Sheriff’s Department on October 8 after being “spooked” by a “clown with balloons” in Teeple Park after dark when the park was closed. Another scary clown in Imperial Beach was reported via Facebook on October 6 on Imperial Beach Boulevard near the Tijuana Estuary.
Authorities are aware of the situation though no one has been arrested yet.
“The Sheriff’s Department has had some minor reports of suspicious behavior by people wearing clown masks/costumes,” said Jan Caldwell of the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. “The perpetrators have been juveniles and no arrests have been made, nor citations been issued. The teens were asked by deputies to cease loitering in clown costumes and all have complied.”
Many residents say the reports make their children afraid.
“My friend’s kids are scared to go out at night because of this,” said Kathy Rodriguez via social media about the Chula Vista incidents. “Now they are scared that the clowns are going to their elementary school.”
