Description

On a sunny day in 1973, two children were walking near Lake Common in Sandown on the Isle of Wight. Suddenly, a strange creature appeared before them. It had only three fingers, was dressed like a colorful clown and had a face made of paper with a mouth that looked like a mechanical grill. The clown invited the children into a small hut where it built a fire before sending them home. The children's parents listened but as the story grew, the girl's father went back to the location of the sighting and found proof that something very strange had taken place that day.

The Sodder Children Disappearance: Five children vanish after a house fire on Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve 1945 was an exciting time for the Sodder Children. Their parents, George and Jennie went off to bed taking the baby, Sylvia with them. Their oldest son was away in the military and the other Sodder children stayed up to wait for Santa. Just after midnight, the phone rang and Jennie picked up. A woman was on the line laughing. Jennie figured it was a wrong number and she hung up. Hours later, the house was engulfed in flames. George, Jennie and four of their children escaped the fire and had to stand and watch their house burn. But when the flames were put out, the bodies of their five children were not found. Who took the Sodder children on Christmas Eve all those years ago and what happened to them?
