Description

RECLAIM YOUR BRAIN ... BRING YOUR BABY!

Babble Talks are daytime TED-style talks for parents, not about parenting. For parents and carers with babies under 1 year old.

Unexplained Live Talk: The Dawn of the Head

Join Richard MacLean Smith, creator of the ‘world’s spookiest podcast’ Unexplained as he takes you on an atmospheric journey through an extraordinary tale... Summer 1971, in the market town of Hexham. Two young boys discover a pair of strange stone heads buried in their garden prompting a series of peculiar events:  The heads seem to move themselves around their home and strange creatures appear to be stalking anybody that comes into contact with them

Despite attempts to identify their provenance, no one can provide a definitive answer.  Were they, as some believed, of a pagan, Celtic origin? Ancient idols worshipped by an obsessive Cult of the Head? Or were they merely remnants of crudely made dolls, gifted to a young daughter by her doting father?

Does it matter if something is real or not, if we believe it enough?
