What would you do if you were coming home from a long day around 9 p.m.-1 a.m. to see a group of creepy, scary looking clowns just roaming your neighborhood? Would you be scared? Would you call the police? What would you do?

Many people in Southern California and Jacksonville Florida are currently facing this scenario. With Halloween right around the corner small groups of thrill seekers in these areas are going out late at night dressed in creepy/scary clown costumes with the intent to scare and creep out the local residents and get them in Halloween spirit early. When local residents first discovered these clowns, they tried to get the police involved but the police couldn't do anything because the clowns weren't doing anything illegal. So the residents were left to just sit back and embrace the creepiness. Many of them, making a game out of the situation, go out at night to find the clowns and take pictures, thus embracing their fears. That’s a lesson we all should learn, to embrace your fears, and make the best out of situations. Happy Halloween.
