Creepy Clown Terrorizes British Town

In the category of "too weird to be made up," I give you the tale of the Northampton Clown:

Someone known as the Northampton Clown, is dressing up as a clown and creeping out the residents of Northampton. . . . Some have reported that the creepy clown says, "Beep, beep," when it approaches people, a line from the Stephen King miniseries "IT" that features a child-killing clown. Others have said that he knocks on windows and then stands there, silently. Why the clown is there, and what he or she is doing, has baffled local residents. The clown is dressed in white face paint with drawn-on eyebrows, a curly red wig and ruffled collar, like Pennywise from "IT." Its first appearance was Friday, September 13.

The picture above, which has been circulating via Twitter, is said to be the clown.

Not weird enough for you? Try this:

A man in a superman outfit calling himself "Boris the Clown Catcher" has been patrolling the town, trying to apprehend the clown. . . So far, there have been no clown-related arrests.
