Not going to lie, its interesting to hear that the skull/head is the focal item in the west while in the east, it’s hair.
Of course this is not a whole generalization but rather some neat to notice of what is deemed integral in spooky tales. You don’t hear about gyrating hip bones or even neck bones being focal items lol its just not as cool as the head, hands, or a femur lol
A skull lies at the heart of a weird fiction horror tale called Adelbrand's Skull by Alvin Johnson in his short story collection, The Battle of the Wild Turkey and other tales. It's the only supernatural story in the collection; a historical novelette-length piece set in Denmark. It has an almost Edgar Allan Poe / H.P. Lovecraft vibe to it. A lost gem. And worth the $25 you'd have to pay for it for one of the only two remaining copies seen on eBay. ⚡💀⚡
Note to self: If I ever find a skull in a house. Leave it.
Nice! I like that the first skull turned out to have an even more interesting story than anyone expected... not just spooky but ancient!
SCREAMING SKULLS FTW!!

Yikes. I couldn't help but imagine the screaming skulls would sound like the Aztec death whistle. Haunting.
I LOVE creepy stories. I would almost pay to come across a skull that actually 😱 🤣
Great post. Really enjoyed that.
Speaking of cool skull stories...
