In this episode the crew of Strange Matters dives back into the realm of the paranormal and unknown, with four creepy tales of haunted artifacts, werewolves, angry poltergeists, and disturbed attic dwellers. These stories of unwanted guests will be sure to send chills down your spine.
The first story is that of the Hexham Heads, strange stone artifacts discovered that seemed to carry with them a dark curse. Several people who had ownership of these heads, and for a few unlucky individuals who just happened to be nearby, witnessed several unexplained and disturbing encounters. There are claims of ghostly and poltergeist activity connected with the stone heads, not to mention sightings of a werewolf creature that seems to follow them everywhere.
Next up is the infamous Man in the Attic, or the San Pedro Haunting. This story involves a woman named Jackie who is experiencing a literal house full of horrors, including unworldly noises, moving objects, ghostly sightings, and even walls dripping human blood. For those who agreed to investigate the house, their experiences would be much worse, and nearly fatal. This case is one of the most famous cases of paranormal and poltergeist activity in the United States.
The Jacksonville Clowns were a bizarre case that would terrify anyone who shares a phobia of clowns. A series of men, dressed up as clowns, was caught on several surveillance cameras approaching houses. Whether this was a meaningless prank or perhaps something more sinister is unknown to this day.
The last case is that of the Woman in the Ceiling. A paranoid man sets up a night vision camera in his apartment, in the process catching a woman descending from his loft’s attic space to eat his food and walk around his apartment while he slept. Though some claim this might be a hoax, the man still swears this disturbing intruder actually dwelled in his place for some time, all the time unknown to him.
Enjoy these stories of bizarre and creepy unwanted guests!

Mary Ann Cotton was a killer in the 1860’s and 70’s. Mary was a poisoner, using arsenic to kill off multiple husbands, friends, and over a dozen children. Her usual trick was to find a suitable man and quickly marry them, often times becoming pregnant right away. Shortly after marriage, she would convince her husband to take a life insurance policy with her as the benefactor. Mary would then poison the husband, and usually several of the children involved as well. This sadistic woman would repeat this process several times, until she had poisoned as many as 21 people before the authorities finally caught on to her act.
Finally we discuss the Goseck Circle. Discovered in Germany, it is possibly the oldest large structure in the entire world, being several thousand years older than the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt. The exact purpose of the Goseck Circle baffled archaeologist for years. Some conjectured it was used as a fortification, or a place of worship, or even a setting for human sacrifice. The newest theory behind the Goseck Circle however could completely change the way historians view the people of the Neolithic Age.
