    17/06/2022 Duration: 18min

Part clown, part wooden human...all terrifying. but was this an actual visitation from an E.T or maybe there had been consumption of some wild mushrooms which lead to a joint hallucination?This time on Macabre Mini Mysteries, we uncover the story of Sam, the Sandown clown.Please check out the @Loremen Podcast podcast which is where I first heard about this story and also @Cool Dudes Walking Club where Marek has an episode all about this subject, going on the hunt for the clown himself.Video version: https://youtu.be/d3looVakvwEMAGIC MINDThanks to todays sponsor - Magic Mind.Please use the link below to get 40% off a subscription or 20% off a one time purchase by using
