The Creepy Clown Sightings meme refers to the global viral phenomenon that peaked in late 2016, where individuals dressed as 'killer clowns' were spotted in eerie locations like woods and suburban streets. What began as a series of isolated incidents in South Carolina quickly evolved into a worldwide obsession fueled by social media videos and local news reports. These memes often play on the inherent creepiness of clowns or the absurdity of the era, juxtaposing mundane situations with the sudden appearance of a costumed figure. It remains a staple of internet culture used to describe feeling stalked, unexpected frightening encounters, or simply nostalgic references to the weirdest trend of the mid-2010s.
