Mystery of village heads
GOATHLAND people awoke on Tuesday morning to find six decapitated heads scattered around the village.
The carved stone faces were placed at different spots, including in the phone box and as quickly as they appeared they had gone again.
The Whitby Gazette received an anonymous call saying that the mysterious heads had appeared overnight.
Reporter Carl Gavaghan and photographer Doug Jackson instantly set off for the village but arrived to find no sign of the boulders.
However, villagers we spoke to closed ranks and denied all knowledge of the strange occurrence.
Doors closed, curtains were pulled and residents remained tight-lipped on where the stones came from and where they had gone. Eventually one of the heads was found hidden away behind a wooden board and a quick picture was snapped.
Mystery still surrounds the appearance of the six heads in Goathland and the Whitby Gazette would like to hear from anyone who can shed some light on the spooky goings or perhaps this is a case for Aidensfield’s finest.
If you have any clues to unlock the mystery contact the newsroom on (01947) 829907.
