The Sandown "Ghost Clown," 1973
The Sandown “ghost clown” is a name assigned to a bizarre entity seen by two British children on the Isle of Wight in 1973. It is known for its highly unusual appearance, which may actually be an important clue in understanding anomalous entity encounters, including those with so-called “aliens.”
