One resident, Donna Arnold, called the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office after her son and others saw clowns behind the basketball court. “I thought my child was seeing things,” Arnold told FOX 8. “And then the next day I had about 30 kids come up to me and say, ‘Did you see the clown in the woods?”
