If you're looking to educate yourself on Taiwanthe current clown-pocalypse, this world map has you covered.
The fear of clowns has reached an all-time high since the first clown sighting occurred in August. Over the past few months the creepy-looking, costume-wearing characters have been spotted throughout the United States, and more recently, terrorizing children across the pond in north England.
To help you put all clown-related incidents into perspective, we've compiled this probably unnecessary (and utterly terrifying) map that charts all recent clown sightings across the United States and in the UK. It will give you nightmares for years.
The map offers dates and locations of the whopping 60 clown crimes, sightings and threats that have occurred since Aug. 3, the fateful day when a clown by the name of "Gags" terrified the community in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Though Gags was simply in costume and holding black balloons as part of a viral marketing campaignfor a short horror film, he still managed to spook people and the sighting sparked a vicious spiral of clown-related headlines across the country.
Despite the fact that clown expert Stephen King has urged the publicnot to be so fearful of clowns, the sightings are still causing towns, apartment complexesand school districts in affected areas to freak out.
Since Gags came into our lives, the terrifying clown trend has travelled to U.S. states such as South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Pennsylvania and Mississippi. The most recent sighting took place on Oct. 5 in Blakelaw, near Newcastle, England. Where it hits next is anybody's guess.
In case you are worried about a clown under your bed, this map should indicate the likelihood of such an event ruining your night's sleep. Good luck out there.
