Creepy clowns have been popping up all over the country scaring the pants off of innocents. It's even worse if you're one of those who has a phobia or fear of clowns. Believe it or not, the phobia has a name and it's 'Coulrophobia' and people right here in Shreveport are scared!

Things have gone so far, as to involve law enforcement and/or the closing of schools in other parts of the nation. Apparently, drive by 'glitterings' are no laughing matter. However, some are taking the myth of a the 'killer clown' seriously. A bus driver Chesterfield, VA found a way to alleviate her passengers' concerns... a special concoction called 'Anti-Clown Spray.' One squirt reportedly repels clowns, two squirts will make you invisible to them. Think of it like cootie spray!

We've had reports of creepy clowns being seen right here in the Shreveport area. The good thing is, if you suspect your neighborhood has been infested, they're easy to track... their large footprints are a tell-tale sign. They also have been reported to smell 'funny.' If you see a clown car, do not approach, you will be vastly outnumbered. Be careful, this situation is clearly 'in-tents!'

Just keep in mind, all clowns aren't evil. #ClownLivesMatter
