Summary

When two brothers unearthed a pair of small carved stone heads in their garden in 1971, their quiet Northumberland home became the center of bizarre events, objects moving on their own, windows shattering, and even sightings of a half-man, half-beast creature stalking the neighborhood. But the mystery didn’t end there. Were the heads ancient Celtic artifacts? A modern hoax? Or objects carrying something older, darker, and hungry? This week, Nat and Aly trace the entire haunting from discovery to disappearance, explore the theories academic and occult, and dig into why these tiny stone faces left such a massive supernatural footprint. Expect folklore twists, cursed-object chaos, and a deep dive into one of the UK’s most enduring paranormal mysteries. Buckle tf up, we are getting haunted!
