CALUMET CITY | For the fourth time in recent weeks, a person dressed as a clown has been reported following or attempting to lure youths.
In the latest instance Tuesday, a man wearing a red clown wig and red clown nose in a white van followed two Calumet City teenagers.
"We did have a report of a guy dressed up as a clown in white van," Calumet City Captain Dan Zorzi said Wednesday.
The vehicle was described as an older, white work-type van, he said. Two teens, ages 17 and 18, claim they were followed.
The teens were unable to describe the man.
"He's got makeup on," Zorzi said.
Zorzi said he believed the department would issue a community alert with more details.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact the Calumet City Police Department at (708) 868-2500.
The scenario with the clown and white van sounds similar to recent incidents in Lansing and Chicago.
Lansing police believe a man in a clown wig may have attempted to lure a child in Lansing at 3 p.m. Oct. 15, Lansing police Detective Sgt. Chris Mizner said. A child was approached near Schultz Park at 183rd and Sherman streets, Mizner said.

There has been a long history of this: Phantom Clowns Are Back!
They have returned.
In Mysterious America, I detailed the national wave of shadowy 1981 sightings of clowns in vans, trying to kidnap children, from Boston to Kansas City.
The encounters began in May of 1981, in Boston, Brookline, and other Massachusetts communities. By the end of the month, the local newspapers in Kansas City were publishing warnings about "Killer Clowns" said to be after children at bus stops there.
During an era before emails and the Internet, I was able to discover, via my network of correspondents, that a rash of local news articles were appearing across the USA, describing similar abduction scenarios. Although the national newspapers and wire services were totally unaware of the widespread nature of such accounts, the stories were remarkably alike. I called them the "Phantom Clowns."
Repeats of almost identical Phantom Clown encounters have been recorded since 1981. The latest one is now developing in Illinois.

We know what happened with the most evil clown in Illinois.
The American public elected to what they thought would be President, but he will call fuhrer.

Maybe it is someone trying to copy cat John Wayne Gacy's horrific crimes. He was also from Illinois.
