House of Weird

This week we’re heading to Northumberland for one of the strangest cases in British paranormal history: The Hexham Heads — two tiny stone carvings dug up in a backyard that somehow triggered poltergeist activity, psychic fallout, and a werewolf-shaped visitor who wandered into people’s bedrooms like he owned the place.

 

We break down the full timeline: the boys finding the heads in their garden, the chaos that followed in the Robson household, and the bizarre escalation next door when a neighbour woke to find a tall, wolf-man figure quietly standing in her doorway. And if that’s not enough, we get into the Dr Anne Ross encounter, when the creature showed up in an academic’s house like it was completing a tour.

There’s folklore, archaeology, curses, lycanthropy, and of course the usual moments where Simon says something that makes us both wonder how close we are to being banned from polite society.

 

We get into:

• The discovery of the Heads

• The poltergeist activity that kicked off almost immediately

• The wolf-man sightings linked directly to the artefacts

• Whether these things were ancient relics or just cursed garden ornaments

• Why academics, Forteans, and bored British teenagers all insist the Heads are 100% real and 100% bad news

 

If you like cryptids, curses, archaeological weirdness, or stories where a paranormal entity just walks straight into your house without knocking, this one is absolutely your jam.

This week on House of Weird, we’re diving into one of the creepiest corners of paranormal lore: astral home invasions — the phenomenon where people claim something enters their home, bedroom, or even their body… without ever opening a door.

 

We break down what an “astral intruder” supposedly is, why these attacks tend to happen at night, and why so many cases involve the same chilling details: the pressure on the chest, the paralysis, the sense of being watched from inside your own skull. Think sleep paralysis — but with the victims insisting it wasn’t a dream, and something actively fought back when they resisted.

 

We go deep into three of the most unsettling real-world reports:

• The Melbourne Encounter (2011) — A man wakes to find a faceless human shape standing at the end of his bed. It moves wrong. It folds itself into the floor. And by the time he can move, the house smells like burnt metal.

• The Alberta Case (2017) — A woman claims a smoky, humanoid form pushed itself through her bedroom wall and tried to “climb inside her chest,” leaving bruising on her sternum the next morning.

• The London Flat Incident (1994) — A university student reports waking to see a tall, shadow-thin figure crouched over her face. It whispered in a voice that sounded like her own. She moved apartments three days later.

 

We talk about the theories, from astral projection gone wrong to parasite-entities feeding on fear, to whether these things are actually part of us — the leftover junk data of a brain glitching between states of consciousness.

 

Expect tangents, expect fear, and expect Simon to accidentally reveal at least one opinion he definitely shouldn’t have about the supernatural, the spiritual, or women in STEM. We rein him in. Mostly.

 

If you like night hag stories, shadow people lore, psychic warfare, or anything in the “this ruined my sleep schedule” category, you’re in the right place.

This week on House of Weird, we plunge headfirst into one of the strangest UFO religions on Earth: the Raëlian Movement — the group that believes humanity was genetically engineered by extraterrestrials called the Elohim, that Jesus was cloned in a lab, and that the aliens want us to build them a luxury Elohim Embassy so they can come back.

 

We get into Raël’s original UFO encounter, his tour of the alien ship, the whole “prophet clone reunion”, and yes — the part everyone secretly wants to hear: the Raëlian obsession with sexual liberation, sensual meditation, and cosmic-level free love.

Turns out when your creators are hyper-advanced bioengineers, they also have… opinions on human pleasure.

 

We break down:

• the Raëlian belief in sex as a form of spiritual expression

• the “erotic meditation” techniques they teach

• how this ties into their cloning and immortality doctrine

• the alien spaceship encounter where Raël claims he met Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed in some kind of intergalactic wellness retreat

• plus the surprisingly serious architectural plans for their extraterrestrial embassy

 

Along the way we get distracted by interior design choices, interplanetary diplomacy, and which one of us would accidentally violate alien sexual etiquette and doom humanity.

 

If you’re into UFO religions, cult lore, alien contactee stories, cosmic libido theories, or just want to hear two idiots unravel a belief system held together entirely by confidence and circular floorplans — this is your episode.

This week on House of Weird, the lads tackle a chaotic mix of mysteries, legends, and general nonsense. We kick off with the Great Emu War (Australia’s most embarrassing military defeat), before diving into The Vertical Plane, reincarnation stories that refuse to stay buried, the mysterious man from Taured, uncanny time slips, and the eternally cursed Dybbuk Box.

Simon once again demonstrates his unique approach to both history and basic morality, while Andrew attempts the impossible — keeping the episode factually intact and socially acceptable. Between the dodgy theories, derailed tangents, and accidental insight, it’s a miracle this show ever makes it to air.

If you like your paranormal stories unpredictable, your science dubious, and your hosts profoundly unsupervised, this one’s for you.

He called himself The Great Beast 666, claimed to summon demons in the desert, and offered to psychically fight Hitler for the British government. It’s House of Weird’s deep dive into the life and chaos of Aleister Crowley — the poet, magician, pervert, and self-declared prophet who may or may not have started modern occultism by accident.

 

This week, Andrew and Simon explore the bizarre career of the “Wickedest Man in the World” — from Victorian England to the sands of Algeria, from sex magick to Nazi mystics — and somehow still find time for inappropriate tangents, mystical euphemisms, and at least one unwise attempt to explain Thelema after a beer.

 

If you like your history occult, horny, and slightly confusing, you’ve come to the right podcast.

This week we flap our way into one of America’s creepiest urban legends: the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Was it a giant bird, a government experiment gone wrong, or a harbinger of doom? Between glowing red eyes, collapsed bridges, and small-town hysteria, this one’s got it all.

 

We cover the original 1966 sightings, the chaos that followed, and how Mothman went from local terror to pop culture icon. Naturally, we also wander off into nonsense, bad accents, and at least one AI tangent we probably should’ve cut but didn’t.

 

If you’re into cryptids, curses, urban legends, and two idiots laughing their way through paranormal chaos, you’ll feel right at home.

For more than 200 years, treasure hunters have been digging into a small patch of ground on Oak Island, Nova Scotia, chasing the promise of buried riches. What started with a depression in the earth beneath an oak tree has spiralled into generations of obsession: pirate loot, Templar relics, Shakespeare’s manuscripts, or maybe just a very elaborate sinkhole.

In this episode we dig (pun intended) into the Oak Island Money Pit — the strange engineering, the endless theories, the six lives already lost to the so-called “curse,” and why people keep pouring money into a hole that never gives anything back. We also get distracted by the usual nonsense because of course we do.

If you’re into unsolved mysteries, cursed treasure, weird history, and two idiots who can’t stay on topic, you’re in the right place.

We’re back poking around in Australia’s weirder history — this time diving into one of the country’s biggest mass UFO sightings. In April 1966, over 200 students, teachers, and locals watched a saucer-shaped craft land in a paddock near Westall High School… before the military turned up and made the evidence — and a lot of the witnesses — go very quiet.

 

We’ll cover the frantic chase into The Grange, the sudden men-in-black style shutdown, and the mysterious scorched landing site that vanished within hours. We also manage to drift off into some questionable tangents, as per usual, because restraint has never been our strong suit.

 

If you like UFO mysteries, Australian weirdness, conspiracy theories, and two idiots making each other laugh at inappropriate moments, you’ll feel right at home here.
