Spolier
I had expected to see a body, the one the "skin of a dead man" came from. This was partly because I had conflated this game with another one, but also because I thought there was a "spooky surprise".Speaking to another player, I see there’s two ways to interpret “skin of a dead man”. I read it as meaning that he’d put on a “costume” in the form of a fine suit of clothes that made him appear to be someone else. Maybe clothes from goodwill, maybe from a relative. Other players may have interpreted that as literal and got a shock.
