Sightings of so-called "creepy clowns" have been reported across the country, and have been widely shared on social media.

A creepy clown sighted in the Capital Region.

Now, it seems, the epidemic has made its way to Upstate New York. Two police reports regarding creepy clowns in the Capital Region region have been filed, and several unreported accounts have turned up on social media, WTEN-TV reported.

The first reported sighting was made by a woman at Fox Run Apartments in Clifton Park. She reported seeing a "creepy clown" lurking outside a laundry room.

"He was just standing there in the middle of the street and so I was freaked out because of everything that was happening in the south," the woman named Alyssa, who was too frightened to give her last name, told the station.

A second person at the complex posted on social media about the clown, but did not contact the police.

Another sighting happened in the Sitterly Road area in Halfmoon around 7 a.m.

"I was really freaked out because there were children in the background and it appeared like the clown was just staring at them," a witness told police.

The sheriff's department said there was no evidence of any crimes being committed, but said they are monitoring the areas.

"It's the type of thing that I would say if you see something, say something," Lt. Dan Morley told WTEN. "It would be a good idea to talk to your children about stranger danger."

WTEN also noted that several sightings of creepy clowns have been reported on social media in Schenectady and Troy, but that police were not contacted.

This year's wave of creepy clown sightings has gone beyond mischief across the U.S. In some areas, the clowns have been spotted with weapons and even prompted school lockdowns, according to USA Today.

There have been reports of clowns attempting to talk to children and lure them into the woods in some states, and other reports of them just staring at people on the street.
