Spoilers for those that want to do the head search...

Your dialog box would have told you that you were looking at an apparition of a beggar, that did not say anything, and was pointing to his neck, or something to that effect....Just go check that crate out. When you do, grab the skull, and find another cell that it appears to belong in. Then grab a particular item that the ghost wants, and put it with the head. Then you need some holy water. Then, follow the ghost to a prize, but be wary of a fight ahead.
