What happened at the Hollinwell Incident in 1980?
In 1980, dozens of children suddenly collapsed during a marching band event in a quiet English village. The symptoms were real, but the cause was never found, leading to theories of toxins, radio waves, aliens, and more. Today, we investigate the mysterious Holland Well incident. This is Red Web.
Welcome back, Task Force, to another episode of Red Web, the podcast all about unsolved mysteries, true crime, and the paranormal. I am your resident mystery enthusiast, Trevor Collins, and joining me, hearing this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz.
Very interesting incident we have here on our hands, but also validated incidentally. yes so i think that's the like key thing i took away from that man it could be a number of things it really could a whole like frequencies that mess with people's brains like that's not far-fetched at all you know they have a bunch they have a whole chart like a manual of just like this frequency does this to a human does that to a human this frequency does this yeah so yeah diabolical if you're testing on a marching band
Let's blast these kids here with this. Maybe we can make some superheroes out of this radio wave blast to these kids.
Yeah, that's a little intense. So I'm very interested to see what happens. Also, you mentioned alien just wild. If like, I don't know what aliens just swoop down real quick, blasted a band and just like took notes and then dipped.
Like a little drive by, like blast them with a little confusion, knock them out and then leave. All right. Hit them with it. Yeah. A little boom bop.
Go, go, go, go, go. They all drop.
Listen, there's something about the unknown, the unexplained that the people always got to bring an alien into the picture. It's not always a robust theory, but we got to mention it when it's on the table. There's not a whole lot to be said, but there's there's an element there. We got to talk about it. We'll talk about, you know, the background of this incident because it was real. This did happen and it happened suddenly across this one event. And there are a few cases that happened a few days after. But really, this particular case will live in the theories and conspiracies behind it. What happened? Because we know something happened. Police investigators got their hands in, started to investigate all these different theories.
And I think that's the most confusing part is that so many of these theories are realistic, actually give you a proper answer. And then it turns out, based on how everything went that day, that it was debunked. And so how can you debunk all the things that make sense and have no answers left? It's just so weird.
Yeah, it's very, very weird.
Yeah. But I do love the idea of somewhere in the government, there's a room, right? We always picture a conspiracy board with the red string strewn all over the place. Maybe their theories have gotten so convoluted that the webs start to leap off the board onto a board across the room. And so it's a three-dimensional web. You're like, there's just one guy in there with a bunch of cigarettes and he's just, he doesn't know what to do. Yeah.
You're off the deep end at that point. He's got it all. If you have strings on a board going to another board, come on. At that point, how much is reaching?
Right. All of it. All of it from the beginning, but I love it. All right, now as we dive into this case, as always, I want to give a huge shout out to our supportive task force members over at redwebpod.com. Of course, we got this week's buff scientist of the week. We got Zakeem Johnson and, of course, Alfredo's hit list, the Squonks. We all love them, but he wants to melt them. We got Azrael, Heather Stalkup, Clint from PS3, and Zarathustra, just to name a few. They're all scurrying now through the hallways. Follow the puddles.
I'm telling you, man, I'm saying, and look, now that we had, you know, our March mystery madness and, you know, there's a lot of you out there that took the squonks out. You chose otherwise. So maybe you're built for this.
