Episode 79, The Screaming Skulls of England

What happens when a human skull decides it lives with you now? This week, we travel through England’s bizarre folklore of “screaming skulls”—human remains said to bring storms, strange noises, bad luck, and outright chaos whenever someone tries to remove them from the homes they’ve claimed as their own. From Theophilus Brome and Bettiscombe Manor to Wardley Hall, Burton Agnes, Calgarth, and the wonderfully unhinged legend of Dickie, we separate documented history from centuries of supernatural storytelling and ask why these skulls were kept in English homes in the first place. The lesson? If the creepy old skull has been sitting peacefully in the house for 300 years, don’t be the asshole who decides to move it.Supercast: https://somethingwicked.supercast.com/Merch Store: https://www.bonfire.com/store/something-wicked/?srsltid=AfmBOoqoUZ9E0oqklh7qvVprdsHNbpHO9mDDqftrMWOKmld8JzAX4BI7⁠⁠⁠Music for Episode and Spotify Link for Nocturne: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/artist/7JH36pwH9KwngcIFkeGSyE?si=dD46JbWZSjmIDHm4CEisaQWebsite: https://www.podpage.com/something-wicked/⁠⁠Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/745031373149930Commercial\outro music\sound transitions: https://pixabay.com/⁠
