Episode 130 - Sam the Sandown Clown

This week, we are venturing into the deep waters of true high strangeness. Sam the Sandown Clown was a strange being encountered by two young children in Lake Common, Sandown, Isle of Wight in May of 1973. This entity is no doubt one of the strangest and most unclassifiable paranormal beings ever recorded. Seemingly neither a spirit nor an extraterrestrial, 'Sam', as he is known, is truly in his own class of unidentified entities. That being said, we’re going to give it our best shot! Enjoy! Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.  This week’s episode includes descriptions/sound related the following sensitive subjects.  None CHECK IT OUT! Articles:https://www.cryptopia.us/site/2018/11/sam-the-sandown-ghost-clown-england/ Check Out Our Friends! Karly Lathamhttps://linktr.ee/Thevillagetarotwitch BeneBenPlayinhttps://www.youtube.com/@benebenplayin Mothmen 1966 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1755030/Mothmen_1966/ Bigfoothttps://www.bigfootplay.com/ Adverts! Support Campfire on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/campfiretalesofthestrangeandunsettling Satisfy All of Your Merch Needs:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/campfire-tales-of-the-strange-and-unsettling?ref_id=25702 Join the conversation on social media at www.campfirepodcastnetwork.com  Discord: https://discord.gg/43CPN3rz Instagram:instagram.com/campfire.tales.podcast GoodPods:https://goodpods.app.link/T0qvGnXnplb Twitter:www.twitter.com/campfiretotsau  Facebook:www.facebook.com/campfire.tales.podcast Visit Our Linktree for Any and All Campfire Info:https://linktr.ee/Campfirepodcast Special Thanks: Gregg Martin for music contributions!
