Hexham Heads

The heads were originally dug up by two boys, Colin and Leslie Robson, who found them in the garden in 1971; a number of sources incorrectly give the year as 1972.

The Dodd family next door also reported phenomena, with one boy's hair pulled in the night and his mother Nelly seeing a half-man, half-goat figure leaving the house shortly afterwards.

A few days later, her daughter, Berenice, told her that, after returning home from school, she saw a large, dark, werewolf-like figure on the stairs that jumped over the banisters and into a corridor before vanishing.

In October 2024 BBC Archives announced that it had been able to restore an interview with Anne Ross on the Hexham Heads that had been broadcast on Nationwide in 1976.

The interview incorporated a clip of Oliver Reed from the Hammer film The Curse of the Werewolf, which according to the BBC "seared the report in the memories of many of those watching".
