The Hexham Heads

Written by:
Autumn, 1971. Hexham, Northumberland. Two young brothers weeding their garden dig up two small, heavy, fist-sized stone heads with grim, stylized features. They bring them inside, expecting harmless curiosities.
Within forty-eight hours, the house unravels. Flying glass shatters against walls, temperatures plunge, and a neighbour wakes up to a chilling sight: a dark, half-man, half-beast creature stepping out of a bedroom doorway and padding down the stairs.
In Episode 7, we dig beneath the soil of Northumberland to explore:
The discovery of the Hexham Heads and the terrifying poltergeist activity that followed.
The ancient Celtic "Head Cult" and the belief that carved stone heads held real power.
The local legend of the 1904 "Wolf of Allendale" and its connection to the beast on the stairs.
The claim of a local sculptor, scientific contradictions, and the mysterious vanishing of the artifacts.
Did two young boys unearth a buried ancient guardian, or did the mere idea of a curse summon a real monster out of the dark?
