Possible Creepy Clown sighting in Schodack

Schodack,NY —  There’s a possible new location in the Creepy Clown phenomenon and this time it may very well be in the sleepy town of Schodack.

Shortly after 9:30 p.m. Friday evening reports began to trickle in of a man chasing cars down Van Hoesen Road in Schodack, NY.

Ben Sherwood, who lives on the road, immediately went to check the situation out along with his family after receiving a text from Michael Scott, a teammate of his on the Maple Hill boys varsity soccer team . “I got a text so we all piled in the car to see what was going on. Then all of a sudden he started chasing our car with a flashlight in one hand and a bandana/mask around his face,” said the lifelong Schodack resident.

At this point in time details are still very shaky, and it is unclear if the clown is still on the prowl – or if it even is a clown…creepy is the only sure thing.
