A homeowner says he feared for his life after a surveillance camera captured a person dressed as a clown and brandishing a knife apparently trying to enter his house.

Creepy footage shows clown, complete with a painted face and wig, attempting to open various doors around the property.

Filmed in Texas after 2am, the CCTV shows it trying out locks, peering through windows and opening gates.

The footage, uploaded to video sharing site, Liveleak, came with the caption: 'This morning I noticed my gate was open. I checked my surveillance cameras and found someone in a clown costume was trying to get into my house.

'I'm sure we would all be dead today if he was able to get in.'

However, many commentators have questioned whether the scene was set up given the relaxed attitude of the 'clown' as it walks around the property.

'That clown seemed pretty familiar with that house, it's almost as if he lived there and put a clown costume on to make a video,' one person wrote.

However the unsettling phenomenon of ‘killer’ or ‘creepy’ clowns in the US (where the trend started) has been raging long enough not be dismissed as this year’s Halloween fad. 

Amid reports of killer clowns threatening schools, brandishing guns and being involved in at least one death, a White House spokesman said last week: ‘This is a situation that law enforcement is taking quite seriously.’ 

America’s recent clown frenzy started in August when children in Greenville County, South Carolina, encountered clowns who tried to lure them into woods offering large amounts of money.

Reports of gunshots turned out to be spooked residents firing into the woods after hearing suspicious noises.

There were other sightings but only by children, prompting sceptics to suspect them of over-active imaginations.

But as clown sightings rapidly followed in two dozen states, the idea that it was a prank - or promotional stunt - has stretched very thin.

Clowns - or, to be fair to professional clowns, people dressed as them - have been chasing people with knives and machetes, menacing them with guns, trying to lure them into woods and shouting at them from cars.

They have been spotted hanging around in graveyards and on remote roadsides where - no doubt as intended - they are momentarily caught in the headlights of passing cars.

Many reports are filtered through the unreliable forum of social media, often backed by creepy footage of dimly lit masked figures and screaming witnesses.

In some of these, it appears everyone involved is in on the joke. Others, however, most definitely have real victims and real perpetrators. 

Fear of clowns is so pervasive and instinctive it has its own name - coulrophobia. According to Dr Steven Schlozman, a child psychiatrist and academic at Harvard, humans are built to recognise patterns from an early age.

A clown’s exaggerated features ‘set off a primal warning bell’ from within our brain that something is not right, he says.

 yeah, or it's speculated that it's viral promotion for the remake of stephen king's "It" and that trolls around the country have gotten on the bandwagon. There was another clown sinister clown standing around thing a couple of years ago if you recall, i think that originated in the UK but the US picked it up.
