A distressed Skyrim player almost had a “mini-heart attack” when they opened up their inventory in the game to find a horrific Glenmoril witch’s head staring back at them, seemingly forgetting all about how they placed it there during one of the game’s many quests. It’s been more than 13 years since Skyrim was released and, in that time, many people consider the RPG developed by Bethesda Game Studios to be a masterpiece in every aspect.
The fifth major game in the Elder Scrolls series is set 200 years after its predecessor and follows a Dragonborn on a quest to defeat a dragon called Alduin The World-Eater who is destined to destroy the world. The environments in Skyrim have also remained popular with fans due to its rugged continent littered with hundreds of quests, ripe for players to pick from. Even though Skyrim is a game teeming with disturbing events, one player had an unexpected fright after doing something as simple as opening their in-game inventory.
Posting on Reddit, user Don_Pe came across a frightening experience while checking their Dragonborn’s in-game inventory in Skyrim. Seemingly forgetting all about what they had in there, Don_Pe stated that they almost had a “mini-heart attack” after coming across a severed head of an old woman staring back at them. However, this wasn’t just any random old woman’s head, but rather the head of a Glenmoril Witch. The Glenmoril Wyrd, or the Witches of Glenmoril, are a Coven of five witches in Skyrim that have knowledge of how to cure lycanthropy. Players can meet the witches during Skyrim‘s Companion quest, Blood’s Honor, which has the Harbinger Kodlak task the player with getting a Glenmoril witch’s head.
