Here’s a riddle from The Bone Choir
The Bone Choir
In a crypt beneath a monastery, visitors heard choral singing—
harmonies too pure to be human.
What produced the sound?
Answer:
Wind flowing through rows of hollow skulls.
Explanation:
The “choral singing” was not supernatural but acoustic. Wind moving through a row of hollow skulls would set up resonant vibrations in each cavity—much like air passing through organ pipes or panpipes. Different skull shapes and sizes produce different pitches, and when the wind flows through many of them together the individual tones blend into pure, harmonic chords that can sound like a choir echoing through the crypt.
