Imagine walking down your street at night in the rain and seeing this clown just standing there...
The mysterious Northampton Clown has spoken out for the first time to reveal the truth about his appearances in the town.
People across the world have been gripped by the story of the clown since pictures emerged online of him standing in various locations around the town, looking similar to the Pennywise character from the cult Stephen King film, It.
In an exclusive interview with the Northampton Chronicle & Echo, the Clown said he could understand why people had been “extremely frightened” by him but he insisted his exploits were intended in good humour.
The clown, who wants to keep his real identity anonymous, said: “I just wanted to amuse people.
“Most people enjoy being a bit freaked out and then they can laugh about it afterwards.
“It’s like watching a horror movie, when people get scared they usually start laughing.
“Naturally, some people would have been extremely frightened by what they saw, but I hope many are starting to see it as a bit of harmless fun.”
The Northampton Clown said he was “absolutely amazed” by the reaction to his appearances in the town and was pleased that he had got so many people talking about Northampton.
As many people have suspected, due to the fact his clown costume resembles Pennywise from the film It, the Northampton Clown has admitted to being a Stephen King fan.
During conversations he regularly made references to the 1990 horror movie.
He also said it was proving to be “more difficult to keep his identity a secret” as people were working out where he lived.
However, the clown said he intended to keep appearing in the town “for as long as people are interested” and he may even start holding a particular “clown” day every week.
