Across England, legends tell of “screaming skulls,” which are
human remains said to bring disaster if moved from their resting
place. In Dorset, a skull defies removal with deadly
consequences; in Derbyshire, “Dickie” halted a railway project;
in Yorkshire, Anne’s head demanded to stay within her beloved
home; and in Manchester, one cast into a moat unleashed a storm.
Whether relics of Celtic head-worship, tools of folk medicine, or
grim mementos of an age steeped in mortality, the stories agree
on one rule: disturb the skulls at your peril.
