A screaming skull is a paranormal object, a human skull which per legend speaks, screams, or otherwise haunts its environs. The legend is most found in England and other English-speaking regions. The Bettiscombe screaming skull of Dorset, England, is attested at least as early as 1897 in the book The Haunted Homes and Family Traditions of Great Britain. That book details an alleged visit to Bettiscombe in 1883 by curiosity-seekers to investigate a skull which, according to legend, was of an African slave once owned by the owner of the house. The slave had supposedly died determined to be buried in his homeland, and any attempt to bury his skull elsewhere would cause the skull to scream aloud.

  • El Screaming Skull (traducido literalmente al español como Cráneo que Grita) es una criatura sobrenatural del folklore inglés. Generalmente se encuentran en casas, y según las leyendas, los cráneos no deben ser sacados de su lugar de descanso, pues el hacerlo provocará fenómenos de tipo poltergeist. Un Screaming Skull no es un objeto animado ni un fantasma, sino una mezcla de ambos. (es)

  • Un teschio urlante è un oggetto paranormale, un teschio umano che secondo le leggende parla, urla o altrimenti ossessiona i suoi dintorni. Questo genere di leggenda si trova maggiormente in Inghilterra e in altre regioni di lingua inglese. Il teschio urlante di Bettiscombe nel Dorset, in Inghilterra, è attestato almeno nel 1897 nel libro The Haunted Homes and Family Traditions of Great Britain. Quel libro descrive in dettaglio una presunta visita a Bettiscombe nel 1883 da parte di chi cercava curiosità per indagare su un teschio che, secondo la leggenda, era di uno schiavo africano un tempo di proprietà del proprietario della casa. Si suppone che lo schiavo fosse morto determinato ad essere seppellito nella sua terra natale e qualsiasi tentativo di seppellire il cranio altrove avrebbe fatto urlare il cranio ad alta voce. (it)
