#he had immense psychic talent like Marissa and Lucy

[redrobin-detective]

I’ve never seen this talked about but I found this a truly interesting bit of Skull lore. When he was alive it was a good century before the Problem started and ghosts were generally thought as fanciful.

But Skull could clearly see them, enough to be able to ward them off while making the bone glass. It gives so much context as to how and why Skull ended up with Bickerstaff and possibly explains how he’s able to communicate in the modern day.

I think Skull had been another ‘once in a generation’ psychic talent like Marissa and Lucy had been. Hell, Marissa has proven that with enough talent one could see spirits pre-problem. Skull’s innate talent from when he was alive is the reason he’s able to talk to Lucy, another talented Listener. Does Skull even know how incredible it was to see spirits before it was a nation wide problem???

#lockwood and co #lockwood & co #skull in the jar #I cant believe no one is talking about this #Skull is probably THE reason the bone glass was made bc he's the onyl one who could see and interact with ghosts #its implied pre-problem no one believed in ghosts so it was like a Big Deal #I dont think its just bc Skull was young #he had immense psychic talent like Marissa and Lucy #and THAT is the reason he's a type 3 and able to talk #I think there are ghosts who maintain intelligence #but to speak to the living you had to have had talent upon death
