TALE8 OF HORROR.
A F,w Storle, of th, Unaaay Skull,
of Murdtrad Mon and Woman.
From Note* and Queries.
Thera la a akull, aald to be that of a
negro murdered by hla maator, a Ro
man Catholic priest, at Bettlacombe
houae, near Brldport, In Doraetahlre.
Several attempta, It la aald, have been
made to bufy or otherwlao dlapoae of
thla akull, with the Invariable reaulta
of dreadful acreams proceeding from
the grave, unaccountable dlaturbancea
about the houae, and other equally un
pleasant occurrence*. An account of
the houae and akull, on the authority
of Dr. Richard Garnett, will be found
In Ingram'a "Haunted Home, and
Family Legends," aecond aertea, page
19. In the eame volume, at page (9,
la a notice of another haunted houae,
Burton Agnea hall, near Bridlington.
Here the ekull li that of a lady of the
Boynton family, who waa at
tacked and murdered by two ruffian
ly mendicant.* In the sixteenth century.
Before ahe expired ahe Implored her
alatera to preaerva her akull In the fam
ily mansion, which waa then being
built. This waa not done at first, but
finally the alatera were compelled to
comply with this strange request by
the noises, resembling claps of thun
der, which resounded through the
house every night until the akull waa
taken front the grave. Several at
tempta have been made to bury It, with
the same results oa at Bettlacombe.
At page 257 le a rathe, unsatisfactory
account of a akull, aald to be that of a
murdered heiress, kept at Tunstead
farmhouse, near Chapel-en-le-Frlth,
Derbyshire.
"The Skull House" la the title of one
of Roby's "Traditions of Lancashire."
The houae referred to Is Worsley, or,
ns It Is sometimes called, Wnrdley hall,
an ancient building about aeven mllea
weit frojc Manchester. It was an old
aeat of the Downes family, of which
o member who lived In the seventeenth
century appears to have been In the
habit of tlrst getting more wins Into
hla akull than was good for him, and
then brawling with his brother sons
of llellal In the I,ondon streets. In
one of these nocturnal rambles he was
killed, amt hla head was sent to his sla
ters as an announcement of his fate.
They In vain tried to bury It. and were
only able to'secure respite from tho
haunting* by placing It In a nlcho on
the staircase of the hall.
The peculiarly horrible disturbances
at Hinton Sumpner Manor house In
1770 have been nnrrnted In more thnn
one collection of ghost stories. The
fullest account Is to be found In Tho
Gentleman's Magazine for November
and December, IS72. It Is there men
tioned that when the house was being
taken down (In 1797) "there was found
by the workmen, under the floor of
one of the rooms, a small skull, said
lo be that of a monkey; but the mat
ter was never brought forward by any
regular Inquiry, or professional opinion
resorted to as to the peal nnture of the
skull."
