The Hexham Heads have been blamed for hauntings, poltergeist activity, wolf‑man sightings, and a decades‑long argument between scientists, folklorists, and anyone who ever walked through that house. This episode looks at the theories people built around two small stone faces and why so many different groups became convinced they were dealing with something more than a garden find.

We get into the Stone Tape theory, the “recording device” angle, the hoax claims, and the psychological side of why multiple witnesses reported similar experiences. No single explanation settles the case, which is exactly why the Hexham Heads refuse to fade out of the paranormal world.

In this episode, we step into one of Europe’s most baffling unsolved mysteries. In November 1970, a woman was found dead in Norway’s Isdalen Valley: burned, staged, and surrounded by clues that only raised more questions. Multiple passports. Disguises. Wigs. Cryptic travel notes. Hotel aliases. International movements that touched Paris, Basel, Geneva, and Stavanger. And a trail that may have crossed paths with intelligence agencies, militant groups, and a Swiss banker with a very dark history.

We follow her footsteps through Europe, decode her notepad, dig into the spy theories, and look at the strange forces that seemed determined to shut the investigation down. We also explore the witness who came forward decades later from Forbach, France, claiming he knew her

This week, we’re heading straight into one of Canada’s strangest, smokiest, most stubborn hauntings — the Baldoon Mystery. A family farm under siege. Fires that sparked out of nowhere. Bullets that bent in mid‑air. A suspected witch who absolutely did not appreciate being accused of anything. And a curse that refused to mind its business.

We’re unpacking the folklore, the eyewitness chaos, the generational drama, and the one bizarre solution that supposedly ended it all. If you love a haunting with attitude, this one’s for you.

In this episode:

• The McDonald family and the haunting that wouldn’t quit
• Fires, stones, apparitions, and the infamous “walking bullet”
• The neighbourly feud that escalated into full‑blown witchcraft accusations
• The folklore roots behind the curse
• The strange ritual that allegedly broke it
• And of course… the messy, human, very dramatic underbelly of it all
