The "creepy clown" craze that has sparked concern across the country has come to Turlock. Two girls were knocked down in a Turlock corn maze on Friday and scared by individuals wearing clown masks and a student's 'creepy clown' threat resulted in suspension. The creepy clown trend first started gaining national attention in August when several unconfirmed reports began surfacing about people dressed as scary looking clowns doing odds things around the area, including attempting to lure children into the woods.
