The episode you guys voted as the best of the year, The Return of Sam the Sandown Clown...

The Sandown Clown case is one of the strangest paranormal mysteries ever recorded. In 1973, two children claimed to meet a bizarre entity on the Isle of Wight known as Sam the Clown.
Now, new information has come to light. A man says he has found the girl from the original encounter, and according to her, she had multiple encounters with Sam throughout her life — not just the one that made the case famous.
Join me as we explore this chilling new chapter in the Sandown Clown mystery.

In third place it's Gef the Talking Mongoose...

Was he a spirit, a hoax, or something else entirely? Gef the Talking Mongoose is one of the strangest paranormal cases ever recorded. In the 1930s, a small family on the Isle of Man claimed they were haunted by a mysterious talking creature with a mischievous personality. Some believed he was a ghost, others thought he was a cryptid, and skeptics called it a hoax. But decades later, the mystery of Gef remains unsolved. Join us as we explore this bizarre and chilling case.

Again, can't recommend this book enough. There's so much information in it that I didn't get a chance to touch on. Not an affiliate link so I don't get anything for recommending this, I just want more people to read it - https://tinyurl.com/yev63hsw
