At 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: the other end, it may be an idol that for 35 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: some might represent the material embodiment of nothing less than 36 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: a god, but to another might seem nothing more than 37 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: a strange looking doll. It is a trait we develop 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: from an early age, as explored by celebrated psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: During his early work as a pediatrician, Winnicott became fascinated 40 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: with the various blankets and toys that children, mainly aged 41 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: four to twelve months, would bring to his consultations. What 42 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: he discovered was that these items, rather than being mere 43 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: distractions or comfort aides, were actually serving a far greater purpose. 44 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: The objects, in fact, provided a bridge between the inner 45 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: world of the child and the external outside world, thus 46 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: beginning the transition of separation from the mother in order 47 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: to develop its own identity. In other words, even at 48 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: that early stage, we are already imbuing physical things with 49 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: our own unique sense of meaning. The branch of philosophy 50 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: known as phenomenology, as explored by Edmund Hussel and Martin Heidegger, 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: posits that all reality consists of objects and events as 52 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: they are perceived or understood in the human consciousness, and 53 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: not of anything independent of human consciousness. In its simplest form, 54 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: it explains why one person might look at their nation's 55 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: flag and feel pride and affection, while another looking at 56 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: the exact same thing, might identify it with far more 57 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: negative connotations. But what are those objects that seem not 58 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: to conform to the vagaries of the human conscious, objects 59 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: that some might say seem to have a power all 60 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: of their own. You're listening to Unexplained, and I'm Richard 61 00:03:47,760 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: McClain Smith. June nineteen seventy one, the presenters of the 62 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: BBC children's show Blue Peter buried a time capsule into 63 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: the ground at BBC's television center in West London. Three 64 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: hundred miles away, in the small northern town of Hexham, 65 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: two young boys were digging up their own time capsule 66 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: of swords. What they found exactly has never been fully explained. 67 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: The discovery of the objects, now known as the Hexham Heads, 68 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: would set off a chain of extraordinary and strange events 69 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: that have never fully been accounted for. It is a 70 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: truly astounding mystery that remains to this day unexplained. It 71 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: began one afternoon, roughly half a mile from the town 72 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: center of Hexham, as two young boys were out playing 73 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: in their garden. The Robson family had only recently moved 74 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: and were still settling into their new home at number 75 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: three Red Avenue. Spring finally turned to summer, and with 76 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: the oldest daughter Wendy away on honeymoon in Scotland, the 77 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: Robsons took the opportunity to conduct a spring clean of 78 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: the property. Eleven year old Colin Robson and his younger 79 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: brother Leslie had volunteered to tidy up the garden, their mother, 80 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: Jenny watching from the kitchen as they set about tackling 81 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: the overgrown vegetation. At some point, Colin wandered to the 82 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: back of the garden and began pulling up the weeds 83 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: when he came across something very strange buried in the ground. 84 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: The object, spherical in shape and just a little smaller 85 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: than a tennis ball, was larger and different in texture 86 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: to the normal stones you might expect to find in 87 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: the area. Colin sensed immediately that there was something peculiar 88 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: about it, a feenie that was justified when, after clearing 89 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: the mud from the surface, he uncovered what looked like 90 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: a face carved into the stone. Colin called his brother 91 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: Leslie over to have a look. A short time later, 92 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: after some further digging, Lesli he found his own tennis 93 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: ball sized stone. Wiping the mud from the surface, sure enough, 94 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: he too found a face carved into the rock. After 95 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: giving the heads a proper clean, the boys proudly showed 96 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: of their discovery to the rest of the family. The 97 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: strange heads appeared to be made from a sandstone like material, 98 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: the faces seeming too distinct to have been made by 99 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: natural erosion. They had an appearance like two grotesque doll's heads. 100 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: The first, one, known as the Boy, had hair etched 101 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: into the head, an open face with wide set eyes 102 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: and a long nose. The other had a far more 103 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: severe look and has been described as having a strong, 104 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: beaked nose and wild, bulging eyes. It would later be 105 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: known as the Witch. Excited by their find, the two 106 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: boys gave the heads pride of place on a shelf 107 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: in their living room and headed off to bed. The 108 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: next morning, however, something strange had occurred. The heads had moved, 109 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: having been positioned to face one way. The boys discovered 110 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: that they now seemed to be facing out the window 111 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: toward the spot where they had been buried, and things 112 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: only began to get stranger. Certain objects in the house 113 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: started to break with no reason. A bed belonging to 114 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: the youngest daughter was one evening showered with glass, forcing 115 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: her to move out of her room. Oldest daughter, Wendy, 116 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: returned from her honeymoon to find the family in a 117 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: heightened state of anxiety. Believing the boys to be playing tricks, 118 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: Wendy determined to put an end to the nonsense and 119 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: promptly hid the heads under the top end of her bed. 120 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: The following morning, they had moved again to the other side. 121 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: A few nights later, the Robsons were awoken by screams 122 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: coming from next door. The property was rented by their neighbors, 123 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: the Dodd family. That night, Nellie Dodd, the mother of 124 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: the family, had been staying in her children's bedroom to 125 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: come at her young daughter, Marie, who had been suffering 126 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: from an ear infection. After finally getting to sleep, she 127 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: was woken by her ten year old son, Trevor. He 128 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: told his mum that something or someone had been pressing 129 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: on his legs as he tried to sleep. Nellie managed 130 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: to calm her son and put him back to bed, 131 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: but sometime later, Marie was awoken by a noise. She 132 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: woke her mother, who immediately sat upright in bed, for 133 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: there in front of her stood a strange creature that 134 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: she later described as having the torso of a man 135 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: but the head of a ram. When they screamed in terror, 136 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: the creature was unmoved, but eventually turned out of the 137 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: room and disappeared down the stairs. Nellie was so traumatized 138 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: by the incidant that she applied to Hexham Counsel to 139 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: have the family relocated, a request that was granted shortly after. Meanwhile, 140 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: the Robsons continued to experience a number of strange phenomena. 141 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: A mysterious glowing light had started appearing at night at 142 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: the end of the garden in the place that the 143 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: heads had been discovered. Later, an unusual flower grew up 144 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: from the same spot. Eager to put an end to 145 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: the strange occurrences, the Robsons took the heads to Hexham Abbey, 146 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: where they were later passed on to archeologists Roger Mikett 147 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: and David Smith of the Newcastle University Museum of Antiquities. 148 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: The two academics were unconcerned by the reported hauntings and 149 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: only too happy to take possession of the peculiar stone objects. 150 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: Mikeert was particularly infused by the discovery, believing the heads 151 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: to be of Celtic origin, and despite not being specialized 152 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: in this area, he knew just the person who could help. 153 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: Doctor Anne Ross, a well known Celtic scholar from Southampton University, 154 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: was at the time best known for her book The 155 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: Pagan Celts and Pagan Celtic Britain. After being sent a 156 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: photo of the heads by Roger Miked, Doctor Ross confirmed 157 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: his hunch, agreeing that they were indeed Celtic in origin. 158 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: Eager to learn more, Ross requested the heads be sent 159 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: to her at Southampton to be analyzed. A few days later, 160 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: the heads arrived at doctor Ross's office. Opening the package, 161 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: doctor Ross was instantly gripped by a strange sensation. It 162 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: wasn't anything particular, just a very base sense of unease. Nonetheless, 163 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: due to a number of work constraints, doctor Ross had 164 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: little choice but to take the heads home to examine 165 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: them further, a decision she would soon come to regret. 166 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: Two nights later, doctor Ross awoke suddenly at two am 167 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: in a fit of terror. A deep chill was in 168 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: the air as Anne looked towards the door, where a tall, 169 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: dark figure over six foot in height and appearing as 170 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: if to be made of shadow, was slipping out of 171 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: her room. In her confused state, the figure seemed to 172 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: doctor Ross to be part animal and part man, overwhelmed 173 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: by an irresistible force. Doctor Ross rose from her bed 174 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: and followed the strange creature from her room, tracing it 175 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: to the landing. She caught sight of it again, moving 176 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: towards the kitchen. Seeing it more clearly now, the upper 177 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: part of its body was unmistakably that of a wolf, 178 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: its back covered in black fur, while the lower half 179 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: seemed to be that of a man. Terrified, she ran 180 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: back to the bedroom and woke her husband, archeologist Richard Feacham. 181 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: Together they searched the house but found no sign of 182 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: the intruder. A few days later, doctor Ross and her 183 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: husband had been visiting friends in London. When they returned, 184 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: they were shocked to find their daughter, Berenice, deathly pale 185 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: and incapacitated with fear. Barely two hours before they had returned, 186 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: Berenice had come back from school to find something inhuman 187 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: standing on the stairs. It was the blackfurred creature returned again. 188 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: Startled by the girl, the creature had run at her, 189 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: vaulted over the banisters, and dropped down to the corridor below, 190 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: before vanishing in front of her eyes. Richard and Anne 191 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: tried their best to calm their daughter down and made 192 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: an immediate search of the house, but again found no 193 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: sign of the intruder. Unaware that the hauntings may have 194 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: been connected to the heads, doctor Ross shortly after received 195 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 1: the results of the composition analysis. The tests conducted by 196 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: her colleague, Professor Frank Hodson, failed to confirm the age 197 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: of the artifacts. However, after performing a visual and petrological analysis, 198 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: Hodson declared their heads to be made from sandstone with 199 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: hints of lime coating and some applied color pigments. The 200 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: results seemed to confirm doctor Ross's theory of the Celtic 201 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: origin of the heads. Back at home, doctor Ross began 202 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: to notice a cold presence in the house, arising at 203 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: random times throughout the day. On more than one occasion, 204 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: doors would burst open unaided. Other times, the family would 205 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: hear the familiar sound of something leaping from the banister 206 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: to the floor below, as if landing on its hind legs. 207 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: Are you always taking care of your family? Do you 208 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: often take care of others and not yourself? Now it's 209 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: time to take care of yourself, to make time for 210 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: you you deserve it.

After conducting a 224 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: lecture on Celtic heads at Newcastle University, doctor Ross was 225 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: introduced to the Dodd family. Unlike Mitech and Smith, doctor 226 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: Ross was profoundly moved by the Dodd's story regarding the 227 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: strange part man, part animal creature they had witnessed, not 228 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: least because her family had been experiencing the very same thing. 229 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: It was clear to doctor Ross that the heads were cursed, 230 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: believing that in all possibility. The Garden of three Red 231 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: Avenue had once been home to a Celtic shrine. Before long, 232 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: the strange tale of the heads was national news. Doctor 233 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: Ross insisting on their Celtic origin and attesting to the 234 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: peculiar hauntings that seemed to accompany them. She had even 235 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: gone as far as to compile a report of her theory, 236 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: which had been due to be published in volume one 237 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: of the journal Archeologia Aliana. In her report, doctor Ross 238 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: calculated the heads to be around eighteen hundred years old 239 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: and that they were indicative of the Celtic cult of 240 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: the severed head. Renowned Greek and Celtic arts scholar Paul 241 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: Jakobstahl describes how the heads to the Celts was venerated 242 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: above all else, since the heads of the celt was 243 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: the soul, a symbol of divinity and the powers of 244 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: the other world. After battle, Celtic tribes were infamous for 245 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: decapitating their enemies, placing their heads on spikes to be 246 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: displayed on the outskirts of their settlements, or sometimes even 247 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: nailed to their doors. Although the strange events had yet 248 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: to be accounted for, it would seem at the very 249 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: least the heads had been granted a genuine historical context. 250 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: But then something extraordinary he happened. Shortly after doctor Ross 251 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: compiled her findings, a man contacted the Newcastle Evening Chronicle 252 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: claiming to a valuable information pertaining to the origins of 253 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: the mysterious Hexham heads. His name was De's Craigie, a 254 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: lorry driver and lifelong resident of Hexham. Craigie, it turned out, 255 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: was also a former resident of number three Reid Avenue. 256 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: He claimed to know about the heads because he had 257 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: made them sixteen years previously, telling the Press, I made 258 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: the heads from bits of stone and mortar simply to 259 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: amuse my daughter Nancy des Craigie's admission was a surprise, 260 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: to say the least, and for Doctor Ross the sort 261 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: of revelation that could end a career. Undeterred, she published 262 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: her report in nineteen seventy three and demanded Craigy provide 263 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: proof of his claims, challenging him to make the heads again, 264 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: a challenge that Craigie was only too glad to take on. However, 265 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: having provided the press with examples of his handiwork, many 266 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: failed to see any significant resemblance to the original models, 267 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: casting doubt on the veracity of his claims. For doctor Ross, 268 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: her accounts of the events that took place at her 269 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: home in Southampton never wavered, nor did that of her 270 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: daughter and husband, and more to the point, the hauntings 271 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: had continued regardless. Convinced that the stones had brought something 272 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: evil into her home, Doctor Ross finally had them sent 273 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: back to the Newcastle Museum of Antiquities, at which point 274 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: the strange occurrences ceased, immediately saying herself, it was as 275 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: if a cloud had been lifted. The following years saw 276 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: the heads pass between a number of different parties. They 277 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: were retested again, this time by doctor Chiss Robson of 278 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: Newcastle University. His report offered a somewhat different result to 279 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: the Southampton analysis, concluding the material from which the heads 280 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: had been formed was in fact an artificial cement, a 281 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: material unlike any natural sandstone. Although the results cast doubt 282 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: on doctor Ross's theory, a precise date for the objects 283 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: remained tantalizingly out of reach. In nineteen seventy seven, the 284 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: heads passed into the possession of Don Robbins, a controversial 285 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: chemist whose book The Secret Language of the Stones posited 286 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: an extraordinary theory. It was his belief that ancient stone 287 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: circles such as Stonehenge or the Ring of broad Guard 288 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: on Orkney, had unusual magnetic energies attached to them, and 289 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: that the hexham heads made too, hold similar properties, affecting 290 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: anyone that came near them. It is a theory that 291 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: came to prominence in nineteen sixty one, having been first 292 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: proposed by archaeologist and Cambridge University graduate Thomas Charles Lethbridge. 293 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: After graduation, Ethbridge worked for thirty five years as keeper 294 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: of Anglo Saxon antiquities at the Cambridge University Museum of 295 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: Archeology and Ethnology. However, as his theories and methods became 296 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: more and more unorthodox, Lethbridge faced mounting criticism from many 297 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: of his peers. In nineteen fifty seven, Lethbridge left the 298 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: museum and turned his attention instead to researching paranormal phenomena. 299 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: Skeptical of the traditional understanding of ghosts, Lethbridge proposed an 300 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: explanation no less extraordinary. It was his belief that certain 301 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: minerals were capable of retaining information given off during a 302 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: particularly emotional or traumatic event. Information that could then be 303 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: replayed much like a cassette tape recording. The idea became 304 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: known as the stone tape theory. Could it be that 305 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: the hexam heads had retained some kind of ancient information 306 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: that was merely being replayed over and over again. In 307 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty three, Harry Martindale, an eighteen year old heating engineer, 308 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: was working in the basement of Treasurer's House in York, 309 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: in the north of England. The house had been erected 310 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: in fifteen sixty two as the primary residence of the 311 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: Archbishop of York, but had since been taken over by 312 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: the National Trust in the nineteen thirties. In an effort 313 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: to modernize the building, Harry had been sent to begin 314 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: the process of installing a new central heating system. After 315 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: a few hours work, Harry became aware of a distant 316 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: noise that sounded like a trumpet. The fanfare grew louder until, 317 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: much to Harry's horror, ahead wearing a plumed helmet burst 318 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: from the wall, followed by the rest of the body, 319 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: along with a cart horse and what looked like nine 320 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: Roman soldiers. Curiously, all the apparitions had been cut off 321 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: at the knee. The terrified Harry fell from his ladder 322 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 1: and scrambled into the corner of the room to hide. 323 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: Harry was so shaken by the event that he required 324 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: two weeks off work to recover from the experience. Any 325 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: attempt he made to recount the story was met only 326 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: with derision. That was until it was discovered that not 327 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: only had a Roman road run through the exact spot 328 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: where the cellar was located, but that it would have 329 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: been placed fifteen inches lower than the cellar, which would 330 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: explain the missing lower legs. His description of the soldiers 331 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: was later found to be perfectly in keeping with what 332 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: would have been expected of soldiers from that time. Despite 333 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: regularly tellings of the event, Harry's story never changed, and 334 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: neither did he ever profit from it. Is it possible 335 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: that Harry had witnessed some sort of recurrence of a 336 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: past event played out from the very stone that the 337 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: Roman soldiers had walked over all those years ago. Although 338 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: the theory has been roundly dismissed in academic circles, it did, however, 339 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: lend itself to an incredible TV play broadcast on the 340 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: BBC in nineteen seventy two, written by Nigel Neil the 341 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: Stone Tape is a masterfully creepy combination of science fiction 342 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: and horror that I can't recommend highly enough. So what then, 343 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: of the heads and the extraordinary half man, half animal visitations? 344 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: Explained by three separate families, neither with any knowledge of 345 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: each other's experiences. In the winter of nineteen oh four, 346 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: just outside the village of Allendale, something strange was brewing. 347 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: The village, located only a few miles from Hexham, lies 348 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: in the thick of the North Pennines, a sprawling mass 349 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: of rolling hills, dark browns and greens. One morning, as 350 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: a soft orange sun began to rise, a veil of 351 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: mist crept over the land. While out in the field, 352 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: a young farmer was inspecting his flock of sheep. The 353 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: farmer was surprised to find that at least two of 354 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: them were missing. After a quick search at the field, 355 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: he came across a distressing site. On the ground. Before 356 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: him were the shredded remains of two sheep carcasses, one 357 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: having been stripped of its bowels, while the other had 358 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: been completely devoured, with only its head remaining. A later 359 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: inspection of the remaining flock revealed a number of contusions 360 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: and scrapes about their necks and legs. The farmer recognized 361 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: immediately the tell tale signs of a wolf. A few 362 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: days previously, Captain Bains, a local dignitary, had reported the 363 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: escape of a gray wolf that belonged to him. The 364 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: coincidence was quickly dismissed since the wolf in question was 365 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: only four and a half months old and incapable of 366 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: inflicting such damage. A hunting party of over one hundred 367 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: and fifty people was quickly assembled and duly sent out 368 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: in search of the mysterious beast. After days of searching, 369 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: no sign of the animal was found, and the incident 370 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: was forgotten. But then on Wednesday, December fourteenth, another local 371 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: farmer awoke to find a great number of his flock 372 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: had been slaughtered and left a rot in the fields. 373 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: The wolf was back. The hunting party, now numbering two hundred, 374 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: resumed the search and continued throughout the winter to hunt 375 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: in vain for the creature. A renowned pack of hunting 376 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: dogs known as the Hayden Hounds were also put on 377 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: the trail, but seemed unable to find any scent. In 378 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: a fit of desperation, like something from a Hollywood movie. 379 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: A skilled hunter was hired to take down the wolf. 380 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: The cocky mister Briddick, who had spent many years in 381 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: India tracking and killing game, vowed to catch the animal through, 382 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: as he put it, scientific lines, but he too was 383 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: unable to find the culprit. Shortly after New Year's Day 384 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: nineteen o five, the corpse of a wolf was discovered 385 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: on a railway track some thirty miles from Hexham, its 386 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: body brutally torn in two by a train. The Wolf Committee, however, 387 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: were adamant that this animal could not have been the 388 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: same responsible for slaughtering all those sheep. The real culprit 389 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: was still at large. By the end of January, the 390 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: spate of attacks appeared to be over and the search 391 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: was eventually called off. Now known as the Allendale Wolf, 392 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: might this mysterious creature hold the key to the sightings 393 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: of doctor Anne Ross and the Dodd family. Don Robins, 394 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: who had taken possession of the hexam heads in the 395 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: late seventies, is thought to have lent them to a 396 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: man named Frank Hyde, who specialized in the ancient practice 397 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: of dowsing. It was Don's hope that Frank might be 398 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: able to determine once and for all whether these strange 399 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: artifacts possessed any paranormal properties. But then Frank Hyde disappeared, 400 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: As Robins later noted, Hyde seemed to have vanished as 401 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: completely as if he had walked into a ferry hill 402 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: in a folk tale, and neither he nor the heads 403 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: have ever been seen again. Whatever you come to believe, 404 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: the bizarre story of the Hexam Heads is certainly not 405 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: without intrigue, and, perhaps most interestingly, as Paul Screeton notes 406 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: in his book The Quest for the hexam Heads, maybe 407 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: the real power came not from the objects themselves, but 408 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: rather the people that handled them. Whether the heads were 409 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: Celtic in origin or nothing more than crude playthings for 410 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: a young girl, there is no denying their presence exerted 411 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: a very real effect on those that came into contact 412 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: with them, Much like the fabled Ring in the Tolkien 413 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: Ring trilogy. The weight of meaning projected onto the heads 414 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: be that, from the time of the Celts or merely 415 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: later on, was enough in itself to generate extraordinarily physical reactions, 416 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: leaving a trail of confusion, fear, and mystery in their wake. 417 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: It is a sheer testament to the human imagination, which 418 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: in a sense renders any question of their provenance completely irrelevant. 419 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: As the circle begins to close on the first season 420 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: of Unexplained, I just wanted to say a huge and 421 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: heartfelt thank you to everyone that has listened to the 422 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: show for your incredible messages of support and for reviewing 423 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: and rating on iTunes.
