CREEPY CLOWN SIGHTINGS ARE, WELL, CREEPY! SURE DON'T WANT TO SEE THE THINGS AROUND YPSILANTI!

Last week there was a report of, um, a creepy clown around Big Rapids, Michigan Up North. Yikes! TV station 10 Big Rapids News reported that a person dressed as a clown was seen prowling through a Big Rapids neighborhood. So how far away are we here in Ypsilanti from Big Rapids? Not far enough away for me. Geez! According to a Big Rapids police report a clown dressed in blue costume with reddish hair, "Just stood there eerily looking at people across the street, before running off into the trees behind a house." This statement was printed in mlive 4 days ago. A clown just standing there looking at people eerily and then running into the woods?! Holy heck, that's super scary!

But wait, there's more!Just today, Muskegon, MI schools went into a soft lockdown after, get this, a threat was made by a CREEPY CLOWN! According to Muskegon TV station WZZM 13 there were a least two schools that went into soft lockdown today (Monday)  due to a creepy clown message that was posted on social media.

Apparently, there have been many reports of creepy clown sightings throughout the United States in recent weeks. Yikes and double yikes! I knew I never liked clowns, and for good reason! They're just creepy!

All I can say is I sure hope no creepy clowns pop up in our Ypsilanti. But if they do, we'll just send them packing for Ann Arbor! Oh, just kidding Ann Arbor.

Now, keep an eye out for those creepy clowns, Ypsi!
