They say that ghosts and the like don’t exist and that when a person dies he just passes on quietly not bothering another soul, so to speak. Well, did you ever hear about the skull that walked? Two bothers, Arthur and Carl live on an estate at the top of a hill. Carl and his wife Lucille were digging a hole near the entrance of the estate to plant some poplar trees. The gardener spots them and warns them that they are digging on an old Indian burial ground, which is said to be cursed. They dig up a skull but there is no other part of the skeleton in the hole. Carl doesn’t believe in superstition and takes the skull in to the house and soon strange things begin to happen.

The Story is 20 minutes long then you are taken in to the green room for a sample of the next drama to be presented by Mystery Playhouse called Death in the Doghouse.
