The source of childhood nightmares may be coming true as Halloween looms, with clowns recently being spotted in Bellingham. Clowns have been sighted in at least 10 states over the past month, according to CNN. Western junior Jayme Gordon said she saw one in downtown on Wednesday, Oct. 5, around 5:30 p.m. Gordon feels the whole clown craze has gotten out of hand. “I was sitting at the Wild Buffalo on Wednesday night, and all of a sudden a clown walked by,” Gordon said. “I just want it to stop.” Gordon said the clown was holding an umbrella and had its face painted as she watched from a window. She said she was caught off guard and feels a little insecure with them running around town.
