Most people visit the ancient monuments of Wiltshire to wonder at the past, but the Avebury landscape is far from a stagnant museum—it is a living conversation. In this episode, the Wyrdos trace that conversation from the Neolithic core of Silbury Hill to a modern architectural marvel.

We begin at the base of Silbury Hill, investigating the "Hollow Hill" and the secrets revealed by its recent collapse. From there, we head into the dark of West Kennet Longbarrow with a drum and a bull-roarer to test the "God Frequency"—a 110 Hz resonance that reportedly switches off the logical brain—and the "Fear Frequency" that makes 5,000-year-old walls appear to ripple like water.

Finally, we sit down with Tim Daw, the farmer and mastermind behind the Long Barrow at All Cannings. As the creator of the first structure of its kind to be built in Britain for millennia, Tim explains the mud-soaked reality of hand-carving sarsen stones and the deep-seated human need to stay close to our ancestors in the 21st century.

In this episode:

• The Hollow Hill: The true story of the Silbury Hill collapse and the secrets found in its gravel core.
• The 110 Hz Experiment: Craig and Andy take to the dark to see if the architecture of the dead can truly "hack" the human brain.
• The Modern Architect: Tim Daw on the solstice alignments and modern planning permissions required for an ancient tradition.
• Merlin’s “Little Brother”: Why the Marlborough Mound is finally being restored to its Neolithic glory after 4,500 years.

It turns out the landscape isn’t just talking to us—it’s waiting for us to join in.

In this edition of AfterWyrd, Andy and Craig investigate a massive array of "Wyrd" news—from the highest reaches of the British Monarchy to the sugary depths of a log burner. We dive into the literal "rabbit hole" of Craig’s folklore library and ask: if the Duke of Edinburgh saw a Sasquatch, who are we to argue?

The Wyrd News:

Prince Philip’s Balmoral Sighting: Brian Blessed reveals that the Duke of Edinburgh reportedly spotted a Yeti in the Scottish hills. We discuss the Royal couple’s implicit belief in Sasquatch and the time the Queen requested a private meeting with a kidnapped trapper, Albert Ostman.

Council UFOs & Alf Burtoo: A council meeting from February 2026 revisits the 1983 Aldershot UFO encounter. Was Alf Burtoo truly "too old and infirm" for alien abduction, or was he just having a very deep dream by the canal?

The Nessie Camera: An underwater camera lost in 1970 is recovered from the depths of Loch Ness. We discuss the repair job and the World War II letters claiming a sea serpent was once caught in anti-submarine nets.

The Missing General: Why has ex-General McCasland disappeared right as UFO disclosure heats up? We look at the "Non-Terrestrial Officers" hack and the secrets held in Albuquerque.

Cannock Chase Chaos: Bigfoot is back and he’s brought friends. We discuss the record spike in sightings, the "Black-Eyed Children," and the terrifying arrival of a seven-foot WWII "Pigman."

Rabbit War-Machine: A viral video of a rabbit piloting a weaponised robot dog. Is it cute, or the start of the lagomorph uprising?

Doughnut Power: How one man slashed his energy bills by burning 133 mini doughnuts in his log burner. It’s science, but your chimney might never forgive you.

From the Library:

Traditions of Lancashire (1800s): Craig shares his £7.80 find and the love of the 98-year-old scent of old-fashioned paper.

The Dictionary of Fairies: Andy shows off his latest acquisition from a Bath bookshop—a tome of banshees, boggarts, and things that go bump in the night.

What if the future didn't just want to talk—it wanted to negotiate? In 1985, the Doddleston "Vertical Plane" didn't just stay open; it became a temporal battlefield. As the BBC Micro flickers back to life, Ken and Debbie find themselves caught between a 16th-century High Sheriff who wants to weaponise the "leems" and a cold, clinical group of "Time Monsters" known as 2109.

In this concluding part of our deep dive into the Doddleston messages, we follow the final months of communication as the cottage transforms into a literal puzzle box.

From the bathroom where computers move themselves to the terrifying moment a scientist is asked to gamble his soul for a mathematical proof, we conclude our investigation into the most baffling technical haunting in history. Who was really behind the screen, and why did the investigators vanish?

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Identity of T omas Harden: How a charcoal riddle and a local library led Ken and Peter to the true name of the "Old Father" hiding in the Tudor chimney.
• The 2109 Ultimatum: The "Men in Black" style choice—erasure of history to save a life, or keeping the evidence and watching a friend face the consequences.
• The Psykabillies: The mysterious SPR investigators who conducted "blind tests" and then vanished—leaving no record they ever existed.
• The Scale and the Pebbles: 2109’s chilling theory of time travel—why moving a body to the past requires an equal mass to be removed from the other side.
• The "Saint Paul" Incident: How a single translation error nearly turned the most documented time-slip in history into a "hoax."
• The Dark Connection: We explore the uncanny similarities between the Doddleston messages and the Netflix series Dark—is there a bootstrap paradox in the Cheshire countryside?
• The "One" Entity: Who is the green-glowing messenger who visited Tomas in 1545? Is it a future version of Ken, or a digital "ascended" soul?

As the "leems" finally fade in March 1986, we’re left with a mystery that spans centuries. Whether it’s a shared hallucination, a secret government experiment, or a genuine "wrong number through the fourth dimension," the message on the pillar remains: "The eyes are open yet nothing do you see."

What if the ghost in your house wasn’t a Victorian lady in white, but a Tudor farmer who thought you were the spirit? In 1984, Ken Webster brought a borrowed BBC Micro into his 16th-century cottage in Doddleston, Cheshire. He expected a bit of basic computing; he didn’t expect his kitchen table to become a doorway.

We explore the baffling case of the "Lucas" messages—sprawling, archaic English appearing on a closed-circuit computer with no modem, no network, and no explanation. From the terrifying realization that Lucas was "haunted" by Ken and Debbie in 1546, to the intervention of a mysterious group from the year 2109, we ask: is this a haunting, a sophisticated hoax, or a literal collision in the Vertical Plane?

In this episode, we discuss:

The Reversed Haunting: Why a Tudor farmer named Lucas believed Ken and Debbie were the "spirits" invading his home in the year 1546.

The Charm of Light: How a man from the 16th century described a 1980s computer—and how he seemingly "hacked" it from across the centuries.

The 2109 Group: Who are the shadowy figures from the 22nd century claiming to be the architects of this temporal experiment?

The Linguistic Baffle: A look at the archaic English and the experts who were left wondering how a 1980s hoaxer could master such complex, dead dialects.

The Latin Warning: The chilling moment the communication ended with chalk marks on the kitchen floor and a final message of death.

Who was Phone?: If the computer was a standalone machine with no internet, how did the messages arrive in real-time?

Whether it's a time-slip or a digital Ouija board, one thing is certain: in Doddleston, the past and the future were sharing the same space, if not the same century. Grab a brew, watch the blinking cursor, and join us for a deep dive into the most technical haunting in British history.

In this edition of AfterWyrd, Andy and Craig investigate a massive array of "Wyrd" news—from the liminal spaces of the hospital ward to the literal explosive hazards of antique collecting. We dive into a chilling listener account of "slithering" entities and ask: when the veil is thin, what exactly is looking back at us?

The Wyrd News:

• Hospital Shadow People: A terrifying listener story from Rosie. We discuss the "slithering" creatures seen by those on the cusp of the other side and the strange link to Tom Hirons’ "Black Dog" hallucinations.
• The Yorkshire Slender Man: Breaking down the viral footage of a gangly, tall figure haunting a Yorkshire road. Is it a modern cryptid, or just a very long night out in Newcastle?
• Havana Syndrome & The Warminster Thing: A scientist tests a pulsed energy weapon on himself to "disprove" the phenomenon—and ends up with the symptoms. Is this the modern explanation for the 1960s "Warminster Thing"?
• The Toulouse Bombshell: A literal emergency room evacuation in France involving a 24-year-old, a 16cm World War I artillery shell, and a very questionable choice of internal storage.
• Etsy’s Witch Hunt: Why the platform is banning spellcasters and love charms, and why some priests now believe the devil "penetrates through radio waves."
• Satanic Slalom? Why the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan is being branded "satanic" by the "revelation of the method" crowd.
• Obama’s UFO Speed-Round: The former President admits "Aliens are real" but keeps his cards close to his chest regarding Area 51.
• A Tribute to Nick Pope: We share a somber update on the legendary MoD UFO researcher following his stage four cancer diagnosis.
• From the Library: The Folklore of Warminster (1924): We shares snippets from V.S. Manly’s vintage collection, including the Blacksmith’s Ghost and the legend of the Haunted Sheepskin

Is there a 35-acre secret city buried beneath the Wiltshire chalk?

In the final chapter of our investigation into the Warminster Thing, Andy and Craig leave the studio behind and head into the field. Standing in the shadow of Cley Hill and the high-security gates of RAF Rudloe Manor, the Wyrdos uncover the most mind-bending secrets of the 1960s UFO flap.

From interdimensional beings delivering doorstep sermons to the terrifying "Warnings" of journalist Arthur Shuttlewood, the boys explore how a quiet market town became the front line for an extraterrestrial intervention.

In this episode, Andy and Craig investigate:

The Golden Ram of Satan: Is a hidden occult talisman acting as a "Wi-Fi router for the underworld" beneath Cley Hill?

The Heaven's Gate Contact: The baffling case of the man who was allegedly miniaturised to fit inside a "soup-plate" sized saucer.

The Doorstep Sermon: What happened when an alien named Khan of Aenstria turned up at Arthur Shuttlewood’s flat to debunk Einstein?

Inside Britain’s Area 51: A look at Rudloe Manor and the Burlington Bunker, the secret underground city built into the Wiltshire stone.

The Berwyn Connection: Did recovered wreckage from the "Welsh Roswell" end up in the lift shafts of a Corsham furniture depot?

Interview with Boss: The artist behind the iconic Warminster UFO mural (Paul Boswell) talks hidden symbols, street art, and the upcoming Weird Wessex exhibition at Avebury.

Have you ever felt an invisible force pin you to the ground while the air around you began to vibrate?

In this episode of Wyrd Wessex, Craig and Andy head back to Christmas 1964 to investigate the birth of the UK’s most prolific UFO hotspot. What started as a terrifying "sonic vibration" that shook the town of Warminster soon escalated into a decade-long saga of "flying trains," orange orbs, and silent figures in skin-tight black suits.

We trace the journey of local journalist Arthur Shuttlewood as he documents the "Warminster Thing"—from the very first Wiltshire crop circles to mysterious messages from the planet Aenstria. Was it a visitation from the stars, or were the people of Wiltshire unwitting subjects in a high-frequency military experiment?

In this episode, we discuss:

The 1964 Christmas Vibration: The terrifying "sonic siege" that left witnesses "jelly-legged" and rattled roofs without a scratch.

The Biological Aftermath: Why were burnt dormice and terrified animals found in the wake of the "Thing"?

Roadside Phantoms: Annabelle’s encounter with "wet-suited" figures and the bleeding man of Battlesbury Hill.

The Phantom Range Rover: Ian Hann’s high-speed chase with a silent, wheelless vehicle that vanished into yellow smoke.

Sonic Warfare & Directed Energy: Comparing 1960s Wiltshire to modern "Havana Syndrome" and infrasound experiments.

Whether it's a "flying harp" over the downs or a cigar-shaped mothership at Cradle Hill, the Warminster Mystery remains the crown jewel of British UFO lore.
