WINSTON-SALEM (CBSMiami/AP) — Two creepy clown sightings have now been reported in North Carolina.

Sunday morning two children said they saw the clown trying to lure kids into the woods in a Winston-Salem with treats.

One one adult reported hearing the clown.

Extra police patrols combed the woods but found no evidence of a clown.

About four hours later, a caller who refused to give a name reported seeing a clown about 2 miles away. Police say again they found no evidence of a clown.

The clown costume was described as white overalls, white gloves and red shoes. The suspect had red bushy hair, a white face and a red nose.

Several unverified clown sightings in northern South Carolina have been in the news recently.
