The Bamileke of Cameroon exhume and honor the skulls of their ancestors with singing and dancing two years after the initial burial. They believe the skulls hold the ancestral spirit. And the ancestral spirit has the power to bring good or bad fortune. So the exhumed skulls are often kept close to family members, such as inside the floor of the home.
