Welcome back, fellow dread-heads, to Walking Dread, the daily podcast that chills you to the bone! Today's tale takes us to the spooky halls of Burton Agnes Hall, where a daring robbery unleashes a horrifying curse.

Our story follows Annabelle, a woman driven by desperation, not fear. She scoffs at the legends of a screaming skull hidden within the old mansion. All she sees are dollar signs, shimmering jewels promising escape from poverty. But beware listeners, greed can have a nasty bite! Annabelle snatches the skull, thinking she's outsmarted superstition. Boy, is she wrong! The skull unleashes a bone-chilling scream, and suddenly Annabelle is running for her life, haunted by the wails of a vengeful spirit.

London offers no escape. Tormented and terrified, Annabelle realizes the only way to silence the screams is to return the skull. But breaking a curse doesn't mean escaping it. Get ready for the twist, folks! Annabelle's reflection reveals a horrifying truth – she's become a skull herself! Now trapped as a spectral guardian, she's doomed to forever warn others about the dangers of disturbing the peace.

So join us, brave listeners, as we explore Burton Agnes Hall, where whispers of Annabelle's silent scream echo through the halls, reminding us that some treasures are best left undisturbed.
