‘MURICA — The U.S. is in the middle of a serious epidemic, and it’s nothing to clown around about, well — maybe it is. <br /> <br />Creepy clown sightings have been spreading faster than Pokémon Go, causing Americans to collectively soil themselves in more than two dozen states, according to Time. <br /> <br />The sightings first started in South Carolina in late August after rumors they were spotted trying to lure children into the woods. <br /> <br />Enter social media, and now creepy clowns are running amok. <br /> <br />In Alabama, at least seven people are now looking at felony charges of making a terrorist threat linked to “clown-related activity,” Rainbow City Police Chief Jonathan Horton told the Times-Picayune. <br /> <br />Last week, clowns were spotted at Penn State, so naturally thousands of PSU students, rather than hit the books, hit the streets to hunt them down. <br /> <br />Clowns have now been popping up in Canada, the U.K. and even Down Under. Where will they strike next?
