Ep. 178: Sam the Sandown Clown

This week it's a summertime holiday story for the summertime holiday season as Sean introduces us to the creature fondly remembered as the Sandown Clown.

This C-team cryptid (maybe) is reported to have chatted with two vacationing children on the Isle of Wight one warm day in 1973, introducing itself, "Hello and I am all colors, Sam." The "clown's" eye-catching appearance and inescapable high strangeness have made it a favorite of ghost, cryptid and alien hunters despite the single alleged sighting... But what the hell WAS this thing??

Theories abound, many stupid, as Sean and Carrie try to decide of if this encounter was some sort of bizarro world Pennywise, children with a high-functioning imagination, or just a really weird guy hanging out in the woods.
