Yep, even bears can be scared by clowns! This black bear won’t be targeting a trash can again in a hurry. The animal received a fright when it tried raiding the locked trash can outside a home in Salem, Virginia, on May 2. As the bear attempted to tip the can over, it activated the laughing mechanism on a clown doll that came(creepily)to life on the can and scared the bear away. I’m guessing that is one bear that won’t be buying tickets to the remake of “IT.” ziiiing!
