Last night, reports of a clown on Belmont’s campus were flying around like crazy. And as it turns out, they were probably faked.
Reports started circulating on social media last night, and then somebody went and Photoshopped a photo to insinuate as much:

The Tennessean reports that Belmont’s police department canvassed the area of campus where the clowns were said to be seen, but found nothing. And then there were students walking around with golf clubs and bats, who also found nothing. Belmont said that it’s now looking into what happened, and the university may also hand out some disciplinary action.
