There's been another reported creepy clown sighting -- and this time, it's in Florida.

The growing trend of people dressing up as clowns has spread to Ocala after a video of a clown standing on the side on a dirt road at night was posted on Facebook Thursday.

This disturbing fad to scare people first got attention on Aug. 21 with reports of people dressed as clowns to lure children into the woods crept up in Greenville, S.C. Authorities in Winston-Salem, N.C. alerted the public after seeing a clown nearby attempting to lure kids in the woods in September.

"(We) ran into this clown while driving on the dirt road in OPE. We stopped to record and then he started to move so we took off. Not trying to die today. In Ocala Fl idk if kids are playing or what but whatever needs to chill. People outside their house were looking at him also."

As for the Facebook description for the Ocala video, it reads:

The Brunswick Police Department reported Wednesday that rumors of creepy clowns chasing children in towns in South Carolina have reached southern Georgia.
