A clown appearing at your kitchen window is not what you expect when you
are doing the washing up, but recently there has been a spate of clowns spotted
roaming around Lincolnshire.
The first clown was originally seen in Scunthorpe, but in recent weeks people have decided to jump on the band wagon and re-enact the frightful antics. Police haven’t said that there will be any consequences as long as they don’t take it too far.

The mystery clown’s first appearance was on Friday 13th of September and was mentioned on Facebook by Alex Doust. He put “There actually is a clown roaming around, he tried the locks on my mate's house near Ashby. She's pretty shook up.”
The Police have also issued a statement saying sightings of clowns, such as Lincoln clown, throughout the county should be “treated as a bit of fun at this stage.”
The Lincoln clowns have made up a little riddle to increase the scare factor:
Clowns frighten those who suffer from
coulrophobia; fear of clowns or mimes. People with this phobia are usually
scared of the exaggerated features of the face such as the painted eyes, mouth
and nose.
“Beep beep - I’m the Lincoln clown. I only come round when the sun goes down. I never frown.”
“Beep beep - I’m the Lincoln clown. I only come round when the sun goes down. I never frown.”
If you hear this riddle lock your
doors, shut your windows and close your curtains to avoid any unwanted frights.
