The Elk Skull

An email was sent to John Zaffis from a man who bought this skull for his mother from a gift shop. His mother saw the skull, which appears to be from an elk, in the store and absolutely had to have it. She was unsure as to why, but she wanted to own the skull at all costs. Her son gave it to her as a gift. The family lived in an old house, and had a few unexplained occurrences through the years, but nothing of a sinister or scary nature.

Shortly after bringing the skull into the home, the woman began to experience strange things in her home. She was being awoken repeatedly throughout the night and would see a man standing in her room. He would stand over her in bed and hold her down. The woman had the strong impression that the man wanted to have sex with her. His mother began to see black forms around the house and finally told her son that she thought it might be related to bringing the skull into the home.

Her son contacted John and asked if he could send the skull, as the family did not want it in their house anymore. John agreed, and the skull was shipped to John's museum. Following the removal of the skull from the home, all phenomenon ceased in the home
