Tuesday, October 4, a post was shared to Facebook with a picture of a clown lurking around Levelland's Brashear Park.

The park is located adjacent to Levelland's two-year college, South Plains College. The Facebook post shows a person dressed in a full clown costume including makeup in the park after dark.

KFYO News has reached out to Levelland's Police Department for a comment, but haven't received a response yet.

The creepy clown hysteria has spread across the country as Halloween comes closer. The epidemic has affected nearly 30 states and is causing a panic. Clowns have been seen carrying weapons, luring children into the woods and just watching people from places like parks as night falls.

While no one has been badly injured, the fear is enough to have posts running rampant over social media.
