The Hexham Heads: An Enduring Unsolved Mystery In the 1970s, two small stone heads were discovered in the garden of a house in Hexham, UK. But what happened to the Hexham heads?

In the 1970s, two small boys unearthed a pair of tiny stone heads from their garden in the village of Hexham in the UK. We still don't know exactly what the Hexham heads are - or where they've gone. theghostinmymachine.com/2026/01/26/u...

This encounter also inspired @thenightmonitor.bsky.social to capture the eeriness and wonder of them in this fine recording

#WyrdWednesday One of my favourite weird Christmas tales, the classic account by Jean Hingley of Rowley Regis, Birmingham, of being visited on the 4th of January 1979 by three fairy-like UFOnauts who discussed Jesus, the Queen and Tommy Steele with her before she offered them some mince pies.

Thanks 👍

This looks great, have you got a link for where to get it?

Thanks to everyone who's listened, and best wishes for the holiday season and beyond 🛸

Going into 2026 like...

A bedroom in a Northern council house. There is a bare mattress in the foreground with a plaid pattern. Behind it is a white formica dressing table with two drawers at each side, and a large round mirror, which is reflecting the ghost of a hooded monk whose facial features cannot be seen. On the dressing table is a lamp (unplugged) and a statue of St Christopher. And a book, possibly a bible. There is an old fashioned wooden mantle clock underneath the mirror.

Spooky Advent day 19: Seasons Greetings from the Black Monk of Pontefract. In the late 70s a local news story on this council house-dwelling poltergeist used a v shonky/spooky special effect on a mirror so terrifying I had to turn every mirror round in every room I slept in until I was in my 20s.

Norman Chastain's Demon Plant! aka Stinkhorn. But he connects it his creature encounter near Blount Island in Jacksonville, Florida on January 26, 1972 that B Ann Slate wrote about in SAGA UFO Report, Summer 1974.

On the Track of Discovery, by The Night Monitor 10 track album

Sky Crash was the title of the first major book dedicated to the case, written by Jenny Randles, Brenda Butler and Dot Street.

Cold Witness to a Sky Crash is included on my latest release On the Track of Discovery, available now 🛸

thenightmonitor.bandcamp.com/album/on-the...

The track is inspired by the work of Jenny Randles on the topic of the December 1980 Rendlesham Forest UFO incident. Cold Witness is the name of a secret project (OTH radar/beam weapon) at nearby Orford Ness, speculated to have had some involvement in the event.

Would be so cool to track down this original painting James Klappis did of this Orangeville, Ontario sighting. I always wonder what happens to these pieces of arts. I hope they still exist somewhere.
