The clown has been posting images and videos of himself on a Facebook account under the name Cole Deimos. In one image, he stares at the screen with a weird smile on his face, while holding a red balloon. In another image, he is shown snarling at the camera as he stands behind a locked gate.

The clown has also been leaving red balloons around the village. One local said that he is not letting his two boys out at night after reports of the clown being seen in the area. He said that the clown is “scaring everybody” and that “someone needs to have a word with him before the police get involved or he really terrifies someone.”
