2016 Creepy Clown Witnesses & Law Enforcement for Documentary
Looking for firsthand info on the 2016 “creepy clown” incidents — law enforcement, witnesses, or participants
Hi everyone — I’m researching the 2016 “creepy clown” wave for a documentary project, focusing on how much of it involved real criminal incidents, hoaxes, mistaken sightings, or social-media-driven panic.
I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has direct experience with what happened, especially:
law enforcement, school staff, or security personnel who dealt with clown reports
people who witnessed sightings in their area
anyone who participated in dressing up or was in online groups that coordinated clown appearances
journalists or community members who tracked cases in real time
I’m particularly interested in how local agencies triaged these calls, whether any legitimate threats occurred, and how rumors spread independently of confirmed reports.
You can reply here with any details or leads. If you’d rather speak privately or anonymously, you can reach me at: milo \at\] [lightboxent.com
Thanks — even small recollections help piece together how the panic actually unfolded across different states and jurisdictions.
