The Screaming Skulls: Guardian Spirits or Poltergeists-in-Waiting?
Description
English folklore is full of peculiarities. The legends of the so-called screaming skulls are definitely among them.
These are skulls kept in mansions and farmhouses, sometimes considered to be guardians of the property. Legends abound of the violent deeds done to the owners of the skulls.
But many of these stories come with hauntings attached if the skulls are disturbed. Sometimes the skulls even repeatedly return, no matter how often they're removed or even destroyed.
Given our focus this month on ghosts and poltergeists, let's explore some legends of screaming skulls in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
