I did find a Build a Bear bag nearby where I found him that had a womans umbrella and a bag of fritos [sic]… very strange.”

“DEFINITELY HAUNTING.”

Before you get completely freaked out and move into a monastery in the Swiss Alps as a way of protecting yourself from this most gruesome and dark evil, the cemetery says this is all just a bunch of bullshit.

Green-Wood staff has no information about this individual and has not seen him nor have any lot owners or visitors reported a sighting. When and if he is spotted, he will be immediately escorted from the premises.

If you can manage to approach a clown hanging out in a graveyard without peeing your pants and begging for your mother, you should probably be instantly elected President of the United States or something.
