it wasnt the reason i was afraid of skeletons. i had a dream where i got killed by one in real life and it wasnt anything like in the quest.
my uncle (who is sadly dead) at the time had a scary ox skull in his house (i called it a yak). which scared me a ton. i didnt want my friends to see it because it was so scary. but i still dont know where my fear of skeletons came from, maybe the dream? maybe the ox?
