Hexham Heads and Were-Sheep…Oh My!!!

As I am sure you all know about the Hexham Heads and were-Sheep, you…wait you don’t know about them. You don’t know about small little stone heads connected to paranormal activity and were-sheep…you must be kidding me. Don’t worry I didn’t know about it either, but then that’s why I read and research what I do…its sort of my thing.

So the story of the Hexham Heads is this, two boys in the town of Hexham England, around 1971, were playing outside one day and, like boys do, started digging in the garden and making holes, well they unearth these small little stone heads that appeared to of Celtic nature. Now the Celts were all over Europe so the possibility of Celtic carvings to be littered all over the country side is well easily acceptable. Now these stone head figures were about 6 cm high appeared to be carved out of stone. Now they boys though nothing of it, it would essentially be like someone finding an arrowhead in a plowed field…so no thought given to it. Now once these small stone heads were found and brought into the house the real fun began…if you want to call it fun that is.

Suddenly strange and paranormal activity started to occur within the house, now keep in mind no paranormal activity had ever occurred up until this point. The stone heads were thrown off the shelves and placed in random spots within the house, also there was then the sighting of what some have said was to be something sort of half man and half sheep creature…hence the were-sheep. This paranormal activity continued until the heads were given to a Dr. Anne Ross who was an expert in Celtic artifacts, well that would make sense to give it to her. Once she assumed possession of the two Hexham Heads the paranormal activity started in her home and subsequently ended at the exact same moment in the two boys house that originally found them. She starred to experience the same type of paranormal activity with items being move and a cold chill fill the air as well as the infamous were-sheep person running around her house. Now being a woman of science and logical understanding she realize the paranormal activity was connected to the Hexham heads…note my sarcasm. She removed everything that was a celtic head in nature as well as the Hexham heads. Once she had removed them the paranormal activity had alleged ceased. Now my question is why did she get rid of all the heads if the activity had been there in the past…just get rid of the Hexham Heads, oh well she is a doctor so she must know what she is doing, note more sarcasm.

Now here is a bit of a funny part, you see a man by the name of Desmond Craigie stepped forward to claim he was actually the one who had created the heads. He had worked for a concrete company and the Hexham Heads were sent out and it was discovered by a University that the heads were in fact made in a mold and were not carves and were actually made in the 1950’s as opposed to so many years ago during the time of the Celts. Oh and the original Hexham Heads are now somewhere lost in history…to this day they have been searched out to no avail. I guess we will never see the original Hexham Heads for ourselves.

Sooooooo, does this story makes sense…in my opinion, no it does not. A doctor of Celtic artifacts does know when something is modern as opposed to carved stone??? I find that extremely hard to believe  that, unless she was not a real student or doctor of Celtic artifacts. And again I point out she got rid of all her celtic heads that never cause weird activity before, but now were they tainted by the fake Hexham Heads??? So then the guy comes forward who made, unless he was a master craftsman like the originator of the Hellraiser Puzzle Box I find all this paranormal activity connected with the Hexham Heads a little bit farfetched. Now as for the were-sheep…who comes up with that??? So lets say that the heads were real authentic Celtic artifacts and that the paranormal activity was real…so how was a were-sheep connected to it??? I just you could look at it as a type of Pan style of creature, but that’s stretching it I feel.

If you can find the original Hexham Heads there are a lot of people who like to do some tests on them for true identification and understanding on them. However if they ever were found I doubt they would find anything odd or abnormal about them. I think they would see modern concrete, but then again who knows maybe they were in fact cursed like so many other things associated with curses in this world…just don’t know or understand how they could be cursed, oh well I guess we will never know.

Be safe and I hear that Were-Sheep make the best sweaters ever,
