    Interesting that in every encounter with the visible beast, no matter how terrifying it is or how it could have a distinct advantage over someone in terms of size and speed... it runs away every time. It scares people badly... but it seems reluctant to stick around and capitalize on that fear after it's been seen. That kinda implies sentient thought, rather than something more animalistic.

    This is a true story I have heard many times. It’s sad that the heads ‘were given to a local man’ and were later lost. I cannot fathom a museum giving such items to anyone at all, today. It seems to have been a very irregular happening even as recent as the 1970’s. Anyone approaching a museum today and asking to take artifacts away for personal ‘study’ would certainly need to have an established academic qualification and interest but would be unlikely to be allowed to take items away.

      It's worth noting Newcastle University also studied them and found they were made artificially and not out of solid rock.. going against Southampton University study.
      It's also worth mentioning the guy who claimed he made them for his daughter, when he was made to create them again they were sub par to the original ones.

      Could be. I think they might as early as the last ice age. If so then they might have been part of a long lost ritual that originated in the prehistoric period with the so-called “goat man” and the other being possibly being the spirits of shamans. If you look at famous cave paintings from the last major ice age you would see that they is a bleeding of supernatural in the depiction of what are believed to be shamans. Oftentimes these people have some sort of feature from an animal, primarily a deer. Unfortunately the fact these heads weren’t properly excavated (meaning they weren’t uncovered by archaeologists) nor the parents thought to alert any college that might be nearby about the heads immediately after they were brought inside means that we lost the context of the heads.

      @Gabe because most arent here to hurt us. Either they test us, miss us, are curious, observing, or responsive to what we do and what we ask and say. The ones that are bad are more rare than ones that arent when you consider how many have instances of beings they didnt understand and creeped them out but never hurt them. Us being scared doesnt make them bad, as you know. So, idk. I feel many showcase their appearance based on the beliefs of those they encounter and thats been happening for millenia.

    A young female barista here in Fremantle came from Hexham. One of the customers (IC - idiot customer) decided it was a good idea to tease her about the Hexham Heads, saying it was a fake and that Hexham was only put on the map because of it. The poor girl was shaking with fear and visibly sweating. I told IC to STFU and leave it alone and the manager of the shop told IC to take his coffee and get out. I got the barista into a seat and from what I could get out of her was that, she lived in Rede Ave, and had been visited by Sheepman (as she called the humanoid entity) and that every time she saw it, her house was stuffy and the air was thick and unbreathable, even though outside was mostly windy and sunny. She also showed me a photo she took of the street outside her house and the pic showed the basic street, houses, etc, but there seemed to be a faint shadow of a horned head and part of a claw. I never saw that photo again, but she refused to talk about it. So, yes, I take this case extremely seriously. I've never been to Hexham but the photo this young woman showed me was shocking to say the least.

    Missed these videos! Please make a video about the UFO incident or incidents in Colares Brazil were many people were actually attacked by UFO’s. Or Chupa Chupa I believe the locals called them at the time. Many UFO’s and their occupants were witnessed. They’d shoot people with a beam of light, paralysing them. These people would then suffer from a rare form of anaemia. The Brazilian military had to be sent in and carried out surveillance and that was called Operação Prato or operation plate in English. A lot of evidence in this case. Very interesting and surprisingly not that well known unless you’re in the circles lol
    Another video I’d love to see from you guys is a video about the Petrozavodsk UFO incident or the Jellyfish UFO incident as it’s known. Hundreds of witnesses including a doctor of geophysical sciences. That particular doctor said that the night before the incident there were strange lights in the sky and that they gave off some sort of mist that rained down on the town and gave them amnesia. Very strange and again surprisingly not that well known case

    A few things struck me while I was listening to this story. If the heads were indeed Celtic don't you think they were rather easily found? I can't imagine a pair of boys digging up stones to throw at each other would be digging terribly deeply to find fresh ammunition. So, basically, these heads were more or less just sitting on the surface of the ground. Then, when tested later, there was no organic substances found on the heads. Strange for a pair of stone heads dug up from the soil. Even if they'd been washed there would be trace amounts of organic material on it, soil that is.

    Terrifying story, absolutely loved it. Interesting though, the sightings of the fur covered, bi ped/quad ped, goat headed entity only began after heads were brought indoors. Yet, with neighbors claiming the same sightings, it seems the beast was capable of crossing some distance but was totally inactive while in the dirt of the garden.
    Why did it never bother them before?

    • @mirandagoldstine8548
      @mirandagoldstine8548 2 роки тому +1

      Most likely the heads weren’t yet removed from their resting place. There are stories of beings lashing out when an artifact is removed from its resting place in an improper manner (aka stolen), of bad luck following the taker until they return the stolen item. So if we work with that in mind we can assume the beast/spirit might have been some prehistoric deity.
