Summary

If you are into aliens or conspiracies, you’ve likely heard of the StarChild skull – a strange skull that appears either misshapen, or – as many believe – is the skull of a hybrid between extraterrestrials and human beings. What is the truth behind the StarChild? (What Is The StarChild?) *** In the 1700s life-saving techniques were obviously not as advanced as those we have today. Case in point – one doctor wanted to know if and how a drowned person might be brought back to life. The solution? Go to a hanging and try to revive the executed man. How do you think that went? (The Hanged Man) *** We’ve spoken often here on Weird Darkness about shadow people – what their purpose is, where they come from, whether they are malevolent or not… but are they ghosts, or something else entirely? (Are Shadow People Considered Ghosts?) *** A Reddit user shares his true story of hiking in the wilderness and suddenly being tracked and hunted over several days by a stranger with unknown intentions. (A Strange Man Hunted Me Through The Park) *** Within the walls of one of England’s most picturesque castles, a queen gave birth to her only child and set in motion a chain of events that would become one of Tudor England’s most intriguing mysteries. (The Unexplained Disappearance of the Queen’s Daughter) *** (Originally aired April 12, 2021)

Many theories have been proposed over the years, yet still no known human deformity, illness,

or cultural practice has been identified that explains what has come to be known

as the star child skull. The bone of the skull is much thinner, lighter and stronger than normal human bone. It contains unusual

reinforcing fibers. The brain of the skull would be 30% larger than a normal human

The entire star child skull is over 10 standard deviations from the human norm, a highly significant

In 2003, trace genetics were able to recover some human DNA from the 900-year-old skull.

However, despite DNA clearly being present in the sample, the technology was unable to identify

much of the genetic material as human.

More modern DNA testing has found that a significant percentage of the DNA in the skull appears

to not be human.

The shape of the skull, along with the odd characteristics it has, leads many to believe that not only is the skull indeed not human, but also non-terrestrial, or perhaps even the combination of human and alien interbreeding. What is the star child? I'm
