Childbirth can be painful. As if the fear after going into labour wasn’t enough for a woman on Halloween, she got the shock of her life when her doctor turned out to be a clown, reports the Indian Express.

Tennessee mom Brittany Selph got her baby delivered by The Joker on October 31!

Apparently, Dr Paul Locus, an OB at the Henry County Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee was attending a Halloween party when he got a call from his hospital.

Having no time to change, Paul went for his duty call and delivered the baby in his Joker costume of the Heath Ledger version from ‘The Dark Knight’ series.

Taking the situation with a pinch of humour, Selphs clicked a selfie with the doctor dressed as the Joker and went live on Facebook. 

The pictures shared by Justin Selph have gone viral on Facebook and people can’t stop talking about it ever since they got posted. 

‘I met the father to this beautiful girl and honestly there would have been no way I could have given birth looking at the joker lol congrats,’ said one of the viewers.
