A terrifying clown has returned for another Halloween to scare residents in Skelmorlie. 

The mysterious figure, which has a resemblance to the Stephen King's popular 'IT', first appeared last year in a number of videos posted on social media. 

The clown left a number of red balloons around the village, with footage also capturing it walking around Skelmorlie's streets late at night. 

The appearance of the figure is rumoured to be a performance stunt by adults in the village.

Videos of the clown were first posted on social media last year but nobody has yet taken responsibility for the terrifying figure.
