THE CURSE OF THE REALLIFE HEXHAM HEADS!
LURKING somewhere in the UK are two fist- sized stone heads with creepy grins etched on their faces.
You might think they’d make unusual ornaments, or quirky bookends, but should you see them in an antique shop or at a car boot sale, avoid them like the plague.
That is, of course, unless you want to be visited by an evil WEREWOLF that has haunted every other owner of these cursed rocks.
It began with joyful child’s play in the garden of a family home in the Northumberland market town of Hexham, located 20 miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Young brothers Colin and Leslie Robson were messing around in the undergrowth back in 1971, poking their spades through the soil.
But what rolled into view from the earth would soon unleash an evil that had lain dormant for decades.
The objects, which appeared to be made from stone, were roughly spherical and quite grotesque.
Each ‘ skull’ boasted a grinning visage. One was later dubbed ‘ The Boy’ – with ‘ hair’
EXPERT: Yet Dr Anne Ross became yet another victim of the cursed ‘ evil’ heads running back from its forehead. The other was christened ‘ The Hag’ or ‘ Witch’ on account of its beaked nose and sinister, bulging eyes.
Colin, then 11, brought the objects back indoors to show his parents – and over the following weeks bizarre incidents began to plague his poor family.
The heads, now placed on a shelf, began to turn around of their own accord during the night, always ending up facing the same direction, as if anticipating an arrival.
Then the poltergeist- like paranormal activity started. Bottles flew across the room, smashing against the wall in the
PURE EVIL: The strange heads boys found in their garden have haunted all who have been close to them middle of the night. The Robsons also reported strange movements around downstairs.
Their residence was semidetached and it wasn’t long before the adjoining property began experiencing terrifying occurrences, too.
And what happened to Mrs Ellen ‘ Nelly’ Dodd, who lived next door, made headlines.
Ellen had been tending to her poorly daughter when a “half- man, half- beast” entered the room, leaving them paralysed with fear.
She revealed: “I’d gone into the children’s bedroom to sleep with one of them, who was ill. My 10- year- old son, Brian, kept telling me he felt something touching him. I told him not to be so silly.
“Then I saw this shape. It came towards me and I definitely felt it touch me on the legs.
“Then, on all fours, it moved out of the room.”
Ellen was convinced that the beast was “searching the room for something”. Was it the two stone heads in the Robson house next door?
The police were summoned and the press had a field day, but the Robsons and Dodds stuck to their bizarre and frightening stories.
