It was 2 a.m. one night in the early 1970s, when Dr. Anne Ross was suddenly awoken by a cold chill running through her body. The room was unusually freezing. Anne lay there in the darkness, aware that something was wrong. But she wasn't sure what. Her husband lay soundly asleep next to her. Dr. Ross tried to get comfortable again to fall back asleep. But that's when she noticed the movement, just out of the corner of her eye by the wardrobe. A shape. A figure. When she looked up properly, it was stood by their bedroom doorway.

The dim light from the hallway illuminated the room just enough for her to get an idea of what she was looking at. Dr. Ross thought she must be dreaming still. This wasn't possible. It stood around six feet tall, with a slight hunch to its back. It was dark, almost shadow-like, but this was a very real and very tangible being. The bottom half looked very much like normal human legs, but its top half was like an animal. Later, Dr. Ross would describe it almost akin to a wolf, covered in dark black fur. Whatever it was, it seemed to become aware that Dr. Ross was looking.

at it. The creature slowly walked out of the room. Dr. Ross could hear it, creeping along the landing, towards the stairs. But, for reason she could never really put into words, her first reaction was not to wake her husband. Instead, she calmly got out of bed and began to follow, silently walking behind the quiet, padded sounds of its feet as it walked down the stairs. Disturbingly, Dr. Ross claimed that she didn't feel in control at that moment. She felt compelled to follow it, as though it were leading her somewhere. As she headed down the stairs, she'd got another look at it. From the position she was stood, she could see it now, shuffling down the hallway.

This second glimpse of the creature was enough to snap her out of whatever trance she appeared to be in, The curiosity was gone and now fear and adrenaline were racing through her body. She didn't know what she was seeing, but she knew it wasn't good. Dr Ross raced upstairs, back to her bedroom. Waking up her husband, archaeologist Richard Feachman. He didn't really believe what his wife had claimed to see, but concerned there was an intruder in the home where their children were sleeping. The pair searched the house from top to bottom.

No sign of anyone, human or beast could be found. It would be easy to chalk this up to a nightmare on the part of Dr. Ross. However, she may not have known it at the time, but she wasn't the first to be visited by this creature, and she wouldn't be the last. Dr Ross was a well-respected expert in the field of Celtic studies. It wasn't unusual for her home to be filled with strange artefacts. But, just two days prior to this incident, she had received a package that contained two objects. These two objects would go on to become the source of one of the most enduring paranormal mysteries of all time.

Get yourself a warm drink, dim the lights and get comfortable. It's long overdue, but it's time we talk about one of the great paranormal tales, a story of haunted objects, pranksters, confused scholars, and even wear sheep. Wear sheep. This is the horrifying story of the Hexom Heads. Welcome to the tape library. I'm curious before we get into this one. How many of you have heard of the Hexom Heads before? Let me know in the comments if you have or haven't. It feels like such a well-known paranormal case over here in the UK, but when I talk to American friends about it, they don't seem as familiar. This is one of those stories that's been on my list to get to, since I pretty much started the channel. But I was pushed to do it now after an interesting little discovery was made back in October. In 1976 at 5.55pm, the BBC broadcasted an episode of its usual early evening current affairs show nationwide. But this particular episode would be burned into the imaginations of an entire generation. Tonight's show spoke about a discovery two schoolboys had made of a pair of stone heads that were thought to be Celtic.

Arctic in origin, but ever since their discovery, anyone who interacted with their heads had fallen prey to strange phenomena. The episode came with interviews with several people involved, including Dr. Anne Ross. In stark contrast to normal paranormal fare, seeing a respected history scholar talking about strange goings on in the night, and werewolves gave a certain degree of weight to the tale. But it wasn't just the creepy story. The BBC show paired this with images of severed heads that were disturbingly graphic for a family show. Plus, a quick shot of Oliver Reed from Hammer's Curse of the Werewolf. It was all more than enough to give the kiddies plenty of nightmares. The footage from this segment has existed in the BBC archives ever since.

However, the audio has always been missing, making this segment something of a lost holy grail for those fascinated by paranormal media. But recently, using an AI voice recognition software, the audio for the second half has been recovered. The BBC released the segment as a Halloween treat on YouTube, and for the first time in decades, people were able to hear Dr. Ross's first-hand account of what she saw in her home that night.

Much like my recent episode on the Dibwick Box, the story of the Hexom Heads is a confusing blend of fiction and reality, not helped by the fact that these stories all centre around events that took place over a relatively short period of time over 50 years ago. Details have been twisted, misremembered, disputed, leaving the true tale of the Hexom heads, a slightly confusing mess. But I've tried my best here to lay it out as close to what apparently happened as possible. Let's begin with the discovery, an event that in itself might be one of the most highly, contested events that took place. Hexham is a small market town in Northumberland, up in the north of England, while it is of course a place with a long deep history, as is the case with most towns in

England. In the 1970s, there wasn't really anything remarkable about Hexham. This wasn't a place you expected to be digging up haunted artefacts in any case. 11-year-old Colin Robson was at junior school, sat in a classroom creating a small piece of artwork for a competition. It was ahead, crafted out a plaster of Paris, a head that was described as ugly by his headmaster, and downright scary by others. Despite this, it won second place in his school's competition. Why Colin chose to make the head? He couldn't say. It just popped into his mind when he was trying to think of something to make. In other itself, there's nothing strange about this incident. The timeline here instantly becomes a little confusing, but in even if it's even a little bit of

late 1971 or early 1972 Colin had returned home from school with his brother, Leslie. The pair were bored to say the least. No one else from their family was home yet, their mother and father both still at work. And what else would two young boys do to pass the time before their family returned home? They of course decided to dig holes, heading out into the garden to do so. Initially they were being helpful, pulling out weeds and tidying up. But soon it descended into just digging a hole together, down deeper and deeper into the soil. When they reached around two foot deep, Colin shouted out that something was there. He reached into the dirt and pulled out a rounded object, about the size and weight of a cricket ball. He brushed the soil off of it and

shouted again to his brother, that he had found a head. There, in Colin's hand, was a small stone head. Not too dissimilar from the one he had crafted in school sometime earlier that year. Leslie was somewhat jealous at his brother's miraculous find, and the pair continued to dig to see if they could find anything else. Sure enough, just six inches further down, they pulled out another head. Both heads were a little different from one another, but both had a bit of weight to them and appeared to be very old. Later in this tale, a materials chemist named Dr. Don Robbins, would describe them as being different sexes. The first head had a skull-like appearance to it, masculine in features, but gault and bony.

With a traditionally Celtic hairstyle, the other was more feminine, more rounded and expressive in its features. Some have called them the man and the woman, but others refer to the female head as the hag. This is the one that many have described as giving off and negative energy. Below them were tendrons that struck out almost like a neck, but these were later sawn off. during studies of the objects. With their parents out still, the two boys instead rushed to their next-door neighbor. There, Nellie Dodd, the mother of the Dodd family, invited the boys inside, and the three of them took a look at their strange discovery. She didn't quite know what to make of it, and suggested that the boys should take it to the nearby Hexham Abbey. Maybe they could tell the

boys what these heads were. The boys phoned their mother at work, telling her they were going to be taking two old stone heads to the abbey, you know, normal boy stuff, and they set off to get the answers they seeked. A priest at the abbey offered to take the heads and tried to find out more about them, telling the boys he would return them in a few days' time. And that was that. An exciting archaeological find by two young boys, and that's all it was, until Colin was awoken a few nights later, by screaming. Nellie Dodd lived next door with her husband, Isaac, and their six children. For a number of nights after first seeing the heads,

Nellie's daughters, who shed a room, had been complaining about a strange sound. They described it as a sort of pitter-patter of feet, that they could hear as they lay in their beds at night. Nellie told them they were simply hearing soot falling down the chimney. The night of the incident, seven-year-old Marie was terribly sick with an ear infection. It had taken Nellie some time to get her daughter to sleep,

But once she did, she was confronted with her son Trevor, claiming that someone was touching his leg. Trevor shared a bedroom with his younger brother, Brian. Nelly assumed this was just a case of the boys messing around and told them to go to sleep. Later, Brian would state that it wasn't just Trevor that felt something touch him. As he lay in his bed, he too experienced what felt like a hand touching his hair, despite there being no one else in the room. Nellie went back to Marie's bedroom. But just before she did, she noticed the landing window

was open, flapping in the wind. She was sure she had shut it. Nellie climbed into bed with her daughter, planning to sleep in there with her that night. Sometime in the early hours of the morning, Marie was awoken by a strange sound. She wasn't sure what it was at first, but she instantly knew something wasn't right. The scared little girl looked up.

She quickly jabbed at her mother's side to wake her as well. Nellie opened her eyes and couldn't believe what she was seeing. There, standing in the room, was a large figure that she described as being part man and part beast. The lower half of it appeared to be human. but its head almost looked like a sheep, and its feet were hooves. Nellie was immediately terrified, but in her half-awake state she thought this must be some kind of dream. That was until the creature reached out and touched her. The feel of its clawed hands on her leg was more than enough to snap Nellie violently awake.

Nellie screamed. A scream so loud it awoke not just her husband, but the neighbours next door. The creature looked at Nellie and Marie momentarily, before turning and running down the stairs. Isaac Dodd came running in to find his wife in hysterics. They searched a house but could find no trace of what Nellie had seen. However, their front door was wide open, suggesting someone or something had run out of the house.

The Robson's rush next door to see what all the commotion was, and heard the crazy story that Nelly laid out. To this day, Colin Robson remembers the fear in the eyes of Nellie and her youngest daughter. Whatever they had seen had deeply terrified them. Just a few days later, the heads made their way back to the Robson boys. The Abbey wasn't able to provide much more information beyond the fact they were apparently old. Almost straight away the strange activity started. It began small, as these things often do. The heads were placed on a shelf in the living room. When the family would come down in the morning They would have changed positions

Facing towards the garden where they had been found. The heads would be put back in their place Only to be found moved again the following day. Collins' mother and father were intrigued by this and began leaving the heads in different positions. Sure enough, overnight they would move And what's more the family would be awoken in the middle of the night of the night, by the sounds of their taps running.

Collins' father was convinced one of the children was getting up in the middle of the night, doing all this, but he never was able to catch any of them in the act. When the family's oldest daughter Wendy came back from her honeymoon, she found her family a little obsessed with these strange heads. She placed them under her bed, hoping to put a stop to this whole thing, but sure enough, when she woke up in the morning, the heads had moved. Then items started breaking. Pictures would fall off the wall. A mirror was found, placed on top of a frying pan that was on a kitchen counter below it, but there wasn't a crack on the mirror. It was as if someone had carefully removed it and put it there. Ornaments were smashed on the ground,

with the family becoming convinced that they saw them, not full, but fling themselves across the room, smashing on the opposite wall. The family also began discussing the feeling that there was something in their home. No one ever saw anything, not like Nellie next door had. In fact, at this point, no one had made the connection between what she had seen and the heads coming into her home, but there was just a general feeling that the Robsons were never alone. It wasn't just inside the house that these strange events were taking place. Shortly after the heads had been dug up, a large flower began to grow up from the spot where the boys had found them. What made this so weird though, was if you were to look out to the garden from inside the house, it was as if the flower

was being lit up by a bright light, but if you went outside to take a look, it just seemed totally normal. There was no light. Then there was the crying. A sound that no one had heard before they had dug the heads up, but afterwards the family would hear in the dead of night coming from their garden, the sound of a baby crying. The press quickly became interested in the heads. The initial discovery had drawn their interest, but the subsequent poltergeist-like activity, and the apparent sighting of a half-man, half-sheep,

were too good to pass up. Numerous papers got in contact with the family and ran stories on the Hexom Heads. Now, this is where the timeline seems to get very confusing. I've read quite a lot on the Hexom Heads, and almost every account seems to explain the events that followed in a slightly different way. For the most part in this story, I've tried to rely on what was said directly from the people involved, but even that seems to be up for contention.

According to Colin Robson, television presenter and Reverend Peter Moff turned up on their doorstep one day to interview the children about the head. He explained that Dr Anne Ross was going to be in the area giving a lecture, and he was keen for her to see the heads. Dr Ross was an expert in Celtic history and many believed at this point that these heads have been left here centuries ago by a Celtic triumph. Jenny Robson, Colin's mother,

apparently told Peter Moff he could take the heads and that they didn't want them back, not after all the strange events had begun. If the heads ever made it back to the Robson household is another detail that appears to be disputed. But Colin Robson claimed that this was the last time he saw the original heads. This is how they ended up in the possession of Dr Ross, who believed that the heads were Celtic in origin, and believed that the garden may have been the home of a Celtic shrine,

stating in one report that they quite often worshipped human heads that were taken from their enemies. She even stated that, if this were the case, then she believed it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that the site the heads were found was in fact haunted. She wanted to get them tested to prove their authenticity one way or the other. But why would an academic, who has been referred to by many as a quiet reclusive type, be so keen to publicly speak about the idea of a haunted Celtic shrine? Well, as we know, Dr Ross had her own experience shortly after taking the heads in. Dr Ross had taken the heads to her home in Southampton, and they were far from the only Celtic objects that were there.

Dr Ross was used to studying these artefacts, but there was something unusual about the Hexom heads. From the moment she handled them, Dr. Ross felt there was something special about them. She was immediately hit with a strange sense of unease as she handled the heads. She instantly locked them away in her study and planned to leave them there until she could take them to Newcastle for further study. One or two nights after they arrived, Dr. Ross was awoken by, by a strange sound, and that is when she saw the half-man, half-creature we spoke about at the start of tonight's story. At this time, Dr. Ross claimed she did not connect what she saw with the heads themselves. I'm unsure if Dr. Ross was aware of the supernatural claims that had been made by the

Robbins or the half-sheep, half-man report by the Dodd family. As I say, the timeline is a little confusing to say the least. It's possible that she was brought into this tale purely through the lens of understanding where these heads came from, rather than having anything paranormal explained to her. But equally, it's possible she had read the stories, and these were playing on her mind. Regardless, it appears that Dr. Ross nor her husband decided to tell the rest of their family about what happened that night, which makes what followed all the more strange. Dr Ross and her husband returned home one afternoon just a few days later to find their teenage daughter, Bernice, in what they described as a state of shock. She was shaking and deafly pale.

They asked her what happened, and Dr. Ross's blood ran cold as she heard her daughter's encounter. Bernice had returned home from school two hours earlier. She had opened the front door and walked in. She headed to the stairs and took one step up. As she had returned her glanced up. She was shocked to see a huge black figure, standing on the stairs just a few feet above her. Bernice froze to the spot. Whatever this was, it didn't look human. It was some sort of animal. Without warning, it charged towards Benice, but at the last second it vaulted over the banister to the corridor below and ran off deeper into the house, much like her mother. Strangely, Bernice claimed that she felt compelled to follow it, but, yet again there was no sign of it.

It had just vanished. Bernice, suddenly regaining her senses, fell to the floor in terror, and there she remained until her parents returned home. Following this, the family heard the sounds of the soft padded paws of an animal, landing on the hallway floor time and time again, as though what was. what the knee saw was playing out, stuck on some sort of loop. At times they believed they caught glimpses of a large dark figure, out of the corner of their eyes, but never got a good look at it again. Oftentimes while working alone in her study, Dr Ross's door would violently jolt open, to reveal no one outside it. Dr Ross had the heads tested, and it was estimated that they were,

in fact, around 1,800 years old, and were killed. Celtic in origin. A spanner would soon be thrown into the works of the whole Hexham Head story though, when a lorry driver named Des Craigie contacted the papers to explain he had formerly lived in the Robson's home. And what's more, he had created the heads himself as a gift for his young daughter. Des claimed that his daughter came running into the room one day, excitedly telling him that the heads he had made her when she was a child were on TV. Des would tell the Evening Chronicle that he made them about 16 years prior. His father had lived in the Robson's house until about a year ago

and the Kriegy family called its home for 30 years. He made the heads from bits of stone and mortar, just quickly, rolling them up like a snowball and gouging a face in each of them and gave them to his daughter, who would use the foil from penguin bars, to make eyes for them. He actually made three, but it appears one was never found. Des found the entire thing hilarious. Dr. Anne Ross was curious about Craigie's claims, and wanted to see him create a replica to demonstrate his abilities.

The reason for this was that while she thought it was certainly possible, that these were not as old as she believed, If they were a recent creation, they had been created to look as close to a Celtic head as possible. This wasn't just a crudely thrown-together art project as Des had claimed. It had all the characteristics she would expect to see in a genuine artifact. She also believed that the heads contained some kind of power. After all, how else could she explain what was currently going on in her home? Craigie did create a replica, but most didn't see a distinct resemblance.

between the replicas and the original heads. In recent years, author Paul Screton did some more digging into Des, and discovered he had quite the reputation of being a prankster. If he did just make the claim of creating the heads as an attempt to get an attention, though, he did stick with the story for the rest of his life. There is also the strange photo that Screton included in his book, which appears to show Des with the original heads, but no one, including Des' son, can clarify when and where the photo was taken.

One consideration that could be made is that maybe Des did make free heads while living in the property, but that these were not the same heads that were dug up. Maybe something there influenced him, planting the idea of the heads in his mind. Maybe this is why an 11-year-old Colin would make his own heads just before digging the Celtic heads up. a sort of faded memory floating around the garden in Hexham, entering the residence mines. But it wasn't just Des Craigie's claims that put doubt on the heads. Geologists in Newcastle and Southampton appear to have differing views on the age of the heads, with one expert claiming they were in fact close to 2,000 years old,

while the other believed the material they were made from, suggested there were a much more recent creation. Eventually, Dr Ross decided she needed to get the heads as far away from her family as possible. She sent them off to Newcastle's Museum of Antiquities, and almost immediately, the strange phenomena that was taking place in her home, stopped. But there are three mysteries associated with the Hexham Heads. The first is where they came from. The second is what power, if any, did they have? The third is what happened to them. The Hexham Head seemed to pass through various institutes and into different hands after Dr. Ross passed them on, but at some point they made their way to Don Robbins, the man who popularised the stone tape theory,

the idea that somehow the images of events and people can be stored in rocks and other objects, as almost like a spiritual echo. He believed this could explain what was happening with the heads, that they had somehow captured some sort of past event, and maybe the strange half-man, half-beast creatures people were seeing, and the other strange phenomena, was simply this playing out after the heads were disturbed. While he didn't witness any direct apparitions, as some of the previous owners did, Robbins believed that there was something to these heads. They gave off an undeniable atmosphere, and he couldn't help but notice it felt like the eyes could see him wherever he placed them.

There have been many claims made about who the heads ended up with, but according to Robbins, he passed them on to a man named Frank Hyde. Frank had a keen interest in all aspects of the paranormal, and Robbins believed that he may be able to give insight into what was going on with the heads. Hyde took the heads into his custody and promised to keep Robbins updated on any findings. Apparently, shortly after this, Hyde was involved in a pretty serious car accident. He was alive but injured. Robbins attempted to get into contact with Hyde but found it tricky to nail the man down. Over the following years, he frustratingly struggled to get any information from Hyde about the heads, until eventually he just seemed to vanish.

Robbins was quoted as saying it was like he had walked into a fairy hill in a folktale, and with that, the hexam heads were gone, leaving behind one of the most compelling and enduring, paranormal mysteries of all time. So what really happened? Well, that's not an easy question to answer. As I've already stated, trying to pin down the details of this one has proved really difficult. For what is essentially such a simple story, every single element seems to have multiple differing takes on events.

Even the year that the heads were found is disputed, which starts you off on a difficult road almost immediately. I don't think this necessarily points to the whole. whole thing being a hoax, however. Obviously, newspapers were not sending out their top reporters to jump on what was essentially a silly local paranormal story, leading to numerous factual errors and the initial reports, even down to the witness's names. I don't think this really became such a big story until years later when the BBC Nationwide program was aired. By that time, the location of the heads was unclear, and no more serious research could be done on them

than what had already been carried out. There's also the fact that many of the people who are still talking about this event now who were directly involved were literally children when these events took place, retelling events that took place decades ago over a short space of time. Most likely their memories of what's happened

is the result of how their families had retold the stories in their households over the years. The half-man, half-beast that Dr. Ross and Nelly Dodd saw is an interesting aspect of the story. It's often reported as appearing to be a werewolf, but while Dr Ross described this as more wolf-like, Nelly Dodd was very clear that it had the head of a sheep or a ram. One interesting story that came out as a possible explanation to this

came from the slaughterhouse that was located close to the houses in Hexham. Apparently around the time of Nellie's shocking experience, a small group of locals had gotten rather drunk, and decided to steal meat from the slaughterhouse. Apparently one of these men was walking down the street with a sheep slung over his back, a man who spoke to Paul Scruton, said he believed that this in fact is what Nellie Dodd saw that night,

although there appears to be no evidence that this event took place, nor does it really match up with her experience. There are also suggestions that the abattoir in question is also the home of several reported ghost sightings, including that of a phantom half man half sheep, although it seems these claims were made after the Hexom Head story broke. If you are familiar of the story,

then you have noticed that my retelling of the discovery of the heads appears to differ from the more commonly told version, then that's because it is different. I have taken much of the information about the initial discovery and what took place in the first few days from an interview with Colin Robson that was conducted in more recent, recent years. While it's debatable if this version is the most accurate, I thought it made

the most sense to go with what he claimed happened, although he doesn't seem to recall the event's timeline with the greatest of confidence. It's hard not to see why this mystery has captivated so many people over the last 50 years. It's a mystery on top of a mystery on top of a mystery. The discovery of the BBC Nationwide episode has given the Hexom Heads a bit of a resurgence in interest. Maybe it's time to begin the search again. Maybe. Someone out there listening to this can be the person

to finally find the Hexham heads and put this strange mystery to bed once and for all. That's all for this entry into the tape library. Again, as I said, this is another tough one to talk about. I really do try my best to present these stories as close to what people directly involved claimed happened. In this case,

doesn't present the clearest of narratives, but hopefully this wasn't too confusing. A big source of a lot of the information I included here comes from Paul Scretan's book, The Quest for the Hexham Heads. And maybe we wouldn't recommend this book as an introduction to the topic. It doesn't lay out a very clear narrative of the story. But if you are already familiar with the story, then it's likely the most in-depth resource from the Hexom Heads you could hope to find. And with that, we've come to the end of the tape library in 2024. And it's hard not to be a little reflective when it gets to this time of year. This time 12 months ago, the tape library had 10,000 subscribers, which at the time I was blown away by.

As of writing this on YouTube alone, 270,000 of you crazy people have clicked that subscribe button, so you can join me on these strange stories. Because of your incredible support, I've been able to turn this into my full-time focus. I never even planned for the tape library to be anything other than some short films, where I could explore urban, and legends and ghost stories. The intention was never to create a popular YouTube channel or podcast. It was just a little creative outlet for me, with no end goal in mind. So thank you all so much for joining me on this journey and for creating such a fun little community. I really do enjoy reading all your comments and I try to respond to as many of you as possible. But saying that,

it's with a heavy heart that I have to announce that the tape library in 2025 will be, No, I'm just kidding. Just wanted to provide one last scare for the year. I've got so many dives into the strange and the unexplained plan to share with all of you. And maybe even one or two fun collaborations on the horizon. I'm in the process of putting together a rough schedule for next year, as it takes me a long time to put these together. So I like to plan ahead.

If there are any stories you really, really want me to cover, now is your chances to digest them. Drop me a comment below and let me know what you want to see from the channel in 2025. Thank you all so much for this year. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas season whatever you get up to, whether you celebrate it or not. And I will see you all on the other side of the new year.
