Episode notes
Spring 1973, the Isle of Wight, and two young children have an truly weird encounter. In marshland near Sandown Airport they meet a 7-foot creature with a yellow hat, three-fingered hands, and triangles for eyes. He calls himself ‘All Colours Sam’. Was Sam an otherworldly visitor, or merely the product of a child’s imagination? And is there any connection to an epidemic of UFO sightings over the Isle of Wight at the same time? The truth is out there - Danny, Ciaran and Evelyn investigate. Presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaran O’Keeffe Story sections by Simon Barnard…
