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...

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?

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

#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.

Five years ago, I released my strange little alternative Christmas track 'Dance of the Mince Pie Martians' on 25th December 2020, and it's amazing to see it's reached over 445,000 plays on Spotify 🌲👽🌲 Thanks to everyone who's listened, and best wishes for the holiday season and beyond 🛸

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.

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.

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.

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.
