Photos circulating among residents of Greenville and in the media were originally posted on Facebook by a performance art duo in New Hampshire.
ICYMI, residents of Greenville, South Carolina, have been on edge after several people reported seeing clowns trying to lure children into the woods.
It got to the point that property managers at the Fleetwood Manor apartments sent a warning letter to residents.
"There [have] been several [conversations] and a lot of complaints to the office regarding a clown or a person dressed in clown clothing talking to children or trying to lure children into the woods,” the letter stated.
The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office received two calls regarding clowns on Aug. 20, and one resident filed an incident report the next day.
On Monday, a photo began to be passed around by residents. One woman shared it with BuzzFeed News, saying she had gotten it from a friend who got it from a friend. Though she didn't take the photo, the redheaded clown looked familiar, she said.
It turns out the creepy clowns in the photo have never even been to South Carolina. They're a performance art group in New Hampshire called the Plymouth Clowns.
The photo was posted several weeks ago on the Plymouth Clowns' Facebook page. It was then taken and reposted on Sunday — without the clowns' permission — by We Are Naptown, a page of memes sometimes about Indianapolis with about 16,000 likes.
