Woman was so spooked by inflatable clown blowing into her garden she now sleeps with knife
Renee Jensen is convinced the sudden appearance of the creepy It-style doll is a sign that something sinister could be about to happen to her...
A woman was so spooked by a ‘creepy’ inflatable clown doll that flew into her garden she has started sleeping with a knife for protection.
Renee Jensen, of Harrington Park in New Jersey, was left badly shaken after the cartoon-ish doll made its unexpected appearance as she sat with her boyfriend next to their pool on Saturday.
The inflatable appears to be based on Pennywise, the evil clown from Stephen King’s It book and subsequent movie adaptations.
He famously descends from the sky on a balloon – just like the toy that appeared in Jensen’s garden.
It has red ‘blood’ around its mouth and strange black marks spray painted across its forehead.
Jensen, who works as a reiki healer, told Pix11 : ‘I happened to be looking up and we just saw this object come out of the sky,
‘It was scary because it just came out of nowhere.

‘I think anybody, even if it was on your front porch and somebody rang your doorbell and ran off, you’d be disturbed.’
Jensen said the doll came from too high to have been thrown in.
And she is certain it had not been trapped in tree branches, leaving her convinced its appearance could be a sign of an impending sinister event.
Jensen called police because of the writing on the doll’s forehead.
They came by to take a report, but refused to take the doll with them, prompting Jensen to burn it.
She added: ‘The character comes out of the sky with a balloon, so that’s why everyone thinks it’s so weird that this happened.’
Jensen says the strange encounter has left her in no mood to see the latest installment in the It series, with the homeowner now sleeping with a blade to try and give herself some peace of mind.
