There are a number of country houses across the UK which profess to contain skulls which get very grumpy if they are taken away. If folklore is to be believed they scream and wail, causing no end of supernatural shenanigans and frightening the horses until they are put back. Or sometimes, when they put themselves back.

They were even the subject of a 1958 American horror film so terrifying that it came with a unique special offer for its audiences.

Dare you pry into the secrets of the Screaming Skulls of British folklore…?
