The Northampton clown has promised a ‘big surprise’ in the coming days as a superhero rival emerged vowing to track him down.

Mystery surrounds the identity of the creepy man with the white face who has been stalking the streets of the East Midlands since Friday September 13.

And now a superhero, dubbed Boris the Clown Catcher, has promised to track down the unnerving figure.

‘My name is Boris. I am the official clown catcher,’ he says on his official Facebook page. ‘I am not here to scare anyone. I am not here to hurt anyone. I come in peace!’

He began his search for the Northampton clown last night, but has so far been unsuccessful in his attempts to secure a one-on-one meeting.



And it seems the emergence of the clown catcher has sent the minor celebrity into hiding.

‘I’ll be seeing you all very soon (in the day!),’ the Northampton clown wrote on Facebook. ‘But I’m going to lay low for a bit as I have a big surprise for you all hopefully due at the end of the week!!’

Lets hope the catcher doesn’t find him first.
