A man dressed as a creepy clown has been unsettling residents of an American suburb as he wanders the streets scaring people.

The eerie figure has been spotted in Fishers, Indianapolis, and police say that locals should call them if they see someone dressed in a clown suit in the area.

A resident sent Fox59 a photograph of someone dressed as a clown, carrying balloons and walking around 126th Street and Olio Road.

Police said they sent an officer to the area to look for the clown, but the person had already disappeared.

And some locals have taken to Twitter to express their unease, with one writing: 'The creepy clown going around Fishers was in my aunt's neighborhood hanging out where the kids were… If you see it, please call the cops.'

I’m so surprised; I thought Texas would be Unrestricted.

Hate ‘em, myself.

It's the makeup.

For some reason it taps into something that some people instinctively feel is just wrong.

Suit? No problem.

Big red nose? No problem.

The white face with designs? Creepy.

Paintballs always stored in the freezer when used for pests ..... fire for effect !

I needs a better description, because all clowns is creepy.

[Slings and Arrows]

No argument here.

This is no doubt in my mind that American Horror Story “Freaks” is the cause of this & California.

I don’t like clowns very much, in fact I find them kind of scary. I think these feeling started when as a child I went to the circus, and a clown killed my father.
