Ep 108: Sandown Clown 'Fay' Comes Forward! (with Paul A.T. Wilson)
The Modern Fairy Sightings PodcastShow Notes
The Case of the 'Sandown Clown' on the Isle of Wight has intrigued researchers for decades. Now, a woman claiming to be the long-sought-after witness, 'Fay' (a pseudonym) who was seven when the encounter took place has made contact with fellow Wight Islander, Paul Wilson.
The woman who has provided compelling material evidence now reports subsequent encounters took place with the same being in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1989. Here Paul describes those encounters and reveals further information about the original encounter, which was reported to BUFORA in 1978
We also hear about her father's experiences, how they may relate to her encounters and much more.
