Teenagers are under great threat with a rumored message circulating on social media that claimed that clown purge will continue to terrorize the population during the October Halloween celebrations. Following news reports claiming clown attacks ahead of the celebration, police have issued a warning for the public to be careful.

“WARNING clowns are allegedly planning their own purge the night before Halloween. Stay inside, keep all pets inside and keep all doors and windows locked. Share this post with your family and friends!” the warning message stated.

There are various Twitter users who have claimed October 30 to be the day of the attack planned by killer clowns with special mentions of Lehigh valley regions.

New Jersey Police Captain Laurence Martin and Fair Lawn Police Sergeant, on the other hand, have requested the people to remain careful. They also asked them to report if they find anything suspicious around.

Whatever warnings have been received regarding the killer clowns, they don’t specify if the terror is restricted to a particular area, town, city, or state. As no such incident has been reported,

“Unlike previous viral purge panics, we haven’t been able to find any indication that police in any jurisdiction have even bothered to address the clown purge rumors.
