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.
