    Welcome back to the Cherrywood Conspiracy Files – the podcast that dives into strange events, unexplained encounters, and the stories you’re never quite sure you believe… until they happen to someone you know.This episode isn’t folklore. It’s not a dusty theory. This one really happened.It’s the true account of Cherrywood Podcast co-creator Simon Burridge, who, in the summer of 1990, experienced something that would haunt him for decades. Children sleep-talking in perfect unison. Voices captured on tape. A clown. A monkey. A car that drove itself. And a house backing onto a graveyard.Was it a shared dream? A haunting? Something darker?You decide.This is Episode 4: The Clown – and it’s unlike anything we’ve covered before.🕰️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Welcome to the Cherrywood Conspiracy Files00:52 – Simon Burridge’s 1990 paranormal experience01:25 – Chapter 1: The House by the Graveyard02:21 – Chapter 2: The Window Incident03:49 – Sponsors Part 103:54 – Chapter 3: Something in the Room04:47 – Chapter 4: The Tape Recorder05:41 – Chapter 5: Calling It Out06:15 – Chapter 6: The Car Ride06:58 – Chapter 7: Whatever It Was07:30 – Chapter 8: Next Time07:52 – Chapter 9: The Vicar08:39 – Chapter 10: The Aftermath09:43 – Outro & Cherrywood Call to Action10:49 – Sponsors Part 2💼 Today’s Sponsors:🔹 De Medici Associates – Chartered structural and civil engineers🌐 demediciassociates.com🔹 Right at Home Medway – Trusted in-home care📞 01634 979000 | 🌐 rightathome.co.uk/medway🔹 Clearwater Kent – Cleaning & Facilities Management📞 01634 681885 | 🌐 clearwaterkent.co.uk🔹 Club Awesome – A safe, inclusive space for autistic children and their families🔹 Cherrywood Productions – Award-winning wedding & business video content🌐 cherrywoodpro.com🔹 Hindsight Directory – Promote your business to over 30,000 homes🌐 hindsightdirectory.co.uk🔹 Nu Digital – Web design, SEO, Google Ads, Social Media🌐 nudigitale.co.uk🔹 Snugdubs Camper Van Hire – Roam freely.
