On a quiet spring day in 1973, two kids on the Isle of Wight followed a strange siren… and stepped into one of the weirdest encounters ever logged by the British UFO Research Association.

In this episode of The InBetween, Carol Ann unpacks the legend of Sam, the Sandown Clown—a towering, neckless figure with a painted face, three-fingered hands, a metal hut, and a habit of doing bizarre “magic tricks” with berries.

We dig into:

• The original 1978 BUFORA report and why names were kept secret
• Fay and Tom’s unsettling playdate with “Sam” in his strange hut
• Her father’s own UFO and sea-craft encounters years earlier
• Whether this was a ghost, alien, hoax… or something far stranger

Stay to the end to hear how this case became one of the most confounding “official” high-strangeness encounters on record.
