Screaming Skulls
Ghosts in skulls are said to haunt a number of places, particularly
in England. While the skulls might not be physically attached to bodies,
they seem to be emotionally attached to houses where they wish to
continue to live in spirit. When the skulls are removed from the house
, either through burial or some disposal effort, the skulls protest with
hauntings and poltergeist activity.
Many so-called screaming skulls belong to victims of religious persecution
during the 16th century Reformation incited by King Henry VIII or from
Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads during the English Civil War in the mid-17th
century. Other skulls are from people who lost their heads in various
violent episodes, such as murders.
