The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a case that gives Mr Moonalker a Tingle, the Sandown Clown. During 1973 on the Isle of Wight in the UK, a clown-like figure invited two children in to its hut before eating in front of them in a most peculiar way. A thirty minute conversation is alleged to have ensued before the parties said their goodbyes. BUFORA were on the scene to investigate. Did they find the truth? Was this creature a mixture of Pennywise and a TeleTubby? All that and more on this week’s file.
