Wyrd Wessex

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.

Join us for a deep dive into the heart of the Wyrd.

In this edition of AfterWyrd, Andy and Craig shake off a viral fugue state to investigate a massive array of "Wyrd" news—from secret global UFO arms races to the mysterious "Little People" of Yunnan. We dive into the science of the Lanmaoa asiatica. mushroom, which reportedly grants diners visions of tiny elf-like figures, and ask: is it a hallucination, or a window into another realm?

Special Guest: Paul McDonald We are joined by Paul McDonald from Big Cat Sightings in Scotland for a major update on the state of British cryptozoology. Paul reveals an exclusive regarding Big Cat DNA results in Scotland, discusses the evidence for Lynx reintroduction, and shares his own recent personal sighting of a "black and white" predator in the Highlands.

Barney’s Dark Secret: CCTV catches a giant purple dinosaur fly-tipping, leading us to the bizarre true story of the Barney actor’s second career.

Listener Story: The Screaming Radio We close with a terrifying account from a listener named Nick. In the early 90s, he lived in a Manchester flat where a dangerous presence lurked, and a radio screamed at full volume—even after the mains power was cut.

If you see a black dog on a Wiltshire hill or find a slice of salami in your telescope—Don't blame the owls!

Have you ever received a phone call from someone who wasn't supposed to be there? In this episode of Wyrd Wessex, Craig and Andy dial into the unsettling world of Phone Calls from the Dead.

We explore the groundbreaking research of D. Scott Rogo and Raymond Bayless, the men who literally wrote the book on phantom phone calls. From Thomas Edison’s secret "spirit phone" blueprints to modern-day texts from the beyond on phones with no SIM cards, we ask: is the technology hijacking us, or are we hijacking the technology?

In this episode, we discuss:

The Five Types of Ghostly Calls: From simple goodbyes to 30-minute conversations with the deceased.

The Intention Call (Type 5): Can your brain "dial out" to a friend without you ever touching the phone?

The Vertical Plane: A 16th-century ghost sending "emails" to a 1980s computer.

Time-Slips vs. Spirits: Are we talking to ghosts, or just catching a cross-line from last Tuesday?

Digital Hauntings: Why modern smartphones and 5G haven't stopped the weird—they’ve just made it faster.

Whether it’s the South Shields Poltergeist or the Lee Epps case, the line is never truly dead. Grab a brew, check your signal, and join us for a deep dive into the psychic circuit.

In this episode, the Wyrdos welcome back modern-day explorer and Amazon bestselling author Mike Ricksecker for a mind-bending Part Two. We begin with a detour to the Giza Plateau to discuss startling new satellite scans and the potential discovery of the "Halls of Amenti," before deep-diving into the 600,000 square miles of high strangeness known as the Alaska Triangle.

Why have over 16,000 people vanished in the Alaskan wilderness since the 1980s? Mike breaks down the "fantastic cocktail of energies"—from negative magnetic anomalies to volcanic activity—that might be responsible for swallowing hikers, high-profile politicians, and massive aircraft without a trace.

In this episode, we discuss:
The Khafre Project: Decoding the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology that revealed massive vertical shafts and spiral structures deep beneath the Egyptian sands.
The Alaska Triangle Energy: The 1960s US Department of Interior survey that proved Alaska has unique, scientifically measurable "negative anomalies."
Vanishing Without a Trace: The baffling disappearances of House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and the 1950 Douglas Skymaster incident.
Indigenous Lore: Insights from the 1930s handwritten journals of Michael Kazenuk regarding giants from Siberia and the shape-shifting Kushtaka (Otterman).
The Black Pyramid: Evaluating the claims of a buried pyramidal structure beneath Mount Denali and the "men in suits" who allegedly confiscated the evidence.
Shadows in the Command Centre: Mike recounts seeing shadow figures while working in a high-security military facility and the nonchalant reaction of his supervisor.
