The Sandown Clown

[Vulture]

Anyone heard of "The Sandown Clown"?  This one is high strangeness indeed.

Here's a video on the subject:




TL;DR, in the early 70's two children met a strange entity dubbed the "Sandown Clown".  It did not appear hostile, in fact it appeared to be shy and friendly being quite friendly towards the children.  It's described to be a "mix" between a clown, robot and an alien.  It appearently lived in a two story "shack" which was odd in it's own right.

What was it?  I've never heard anything like this before and found it to be quite interesting.  First heard about it in 2020 and been scratching my head ever since! Now you too get to join me scratching my head! Or wait, scratch your own. Ain't no telling where your hands have been!

It's an interesting case. I think the most likely explanation is a hoax by the child's father. However there are aspects that could indicate an attempt by an "other" to communicate with the children using holographic projections. These projections could have been gotten from pop culture or the children's minds. The clown was off, it wasn't quite right. Either way it's a fascinating case.

I did an episode on this a few months ago. I wasn't able to find much solid evidence. Probably the best source was the Bufora Journal. The whole issue is worth a look, lots of interesting stuff besides the SGC: https://archive.org/details/BUFORA_Journ...anFeb_1978

Feels like something straight out of Stephen Kings It... or The Body…

Valid point made of theatrical stage the father performed in front of the children.

On the other hand children are more resistant being mentally affected, versus an encounter later in life as an adult...immature world view, cartoon characters and what not, hence readiness to meet strange beings without stressing it.
Cases in South Africa Republic and GB come to mind.

i was shown a ufo early in my life))

I totally believe the case. Nothing is too much to handle, really...just look around yourself.
