By Dave Basner May 4, 2021 Clowns were created to be funny. With their goofy make-up and physical comedy, they're supposed to make people laugh, but it seems that more people are afraid of clowns than entertained by them. Now, most of the residents of the small Minnesota town of Annandale are among those fearing clowns. That's because one has been menacing the area and it's become so creepy that the police have gotten involved. The local government posted a message from the Chief of the Annandale Police Department on Facebook. It reads, "Annandale residents, concerns about a 'clown' in the area have been brought to my attention. The Annandale Police is aware of this individual and we continue to monitor the situation."
