S1Ep1: "The Screaming Skull" - This is the main feature, where you will join us as we delve into the world of Captain Braddock, a practical and seasoned seafarer who inherits a house from a doctor friend, whose wife passed away under mysterious circumstances. But as he begins to settle into his new home, he discovers a bandbox containing the top half of a skull. As he tries to unravel the mystery of the skull, he is haunted by strange and unexplainable occurrences. He recounts his tale of terror and obsession over one long evening to an unnamed visitor, in a monologue that moves from a narrative of past events to a dramatization of what is happening in the house as he speaks.

Extras "The Screaming Skull Suite" composed by Aryeh Bagheri- This piece was created to accompany the episode of the same name. It evokes the sense of being alone in a house by the sea, during a storm. The eerie theme for the ghost itself came as we first read the tale, and the beautiful highlands theme for Captain Braddock came about during the first recording sessions

"The Backstairs: The Screaming Skull" - This is a bonus episode where you'll get to explore the behind the scenes storyline of the haunted mansion, Zariya Hollow. Join us as we take you on a journey into the forbidden corners of the backstairs where the spirits of the dead guard the dangerous artifact that can foretell the future and recall the past. Listen to the story of Bettiscombe Manor, told by a voice from the past, and uncover the secrets that have been buried for too long.
