More creepy clown sightings in Florida have residents concerned and authorities investigating.
Students at Largo Middle School near Clearwater reported seeing a clown lurking outside the school Friday morning, WFLA reported.
School district officials said a resource officer and officers responded but didn't find anyone dressed as a clown. An automated message was sent to parents to inform them.
Meanwhile, authorities in Pasco County just north of Tampa said Friday that they're investigating multiple sightings over the past few days.
Pasco County Sheriff's Office officials said sightings have occurred in Hudson, Port Richey and Holiday. They said people dressed as clowns are also creating profiles on Facebook and requesting kids as friends.
In one post, a clown requested a juvenile meet the clown at a park at night, the sheriff's office said. Officials added that the incidents aren't being taken as a joke and are being investigated as threats.
Earlier this week, a video of a clown hiding in woods in Marion County was posted on Facebook. Another sighting was reported by a woman who was walking her dog in Palm Bay.
