If you are scared of clowns (and you should be -- they're terrifying), then you should definitely not put the UK town of Northampton on your vacation destination wish list. A local stranger has started popping up at random times on doorsteps in full clown costume and make-up carrying a colorful array of balloons. He knocked on one neighborhood door and asked if they needed help painting their house -- even though he didn't have any painting equipment with him. The clown has made such an impact on the local community, he has inspired a Facebook page with over 3,000 Likes and a social media hashtag #northamptonclown to use each time he is spotted. So if you live in Northampton, shut the blinds and lock the door. Or move.
