Hi, I saw this posted on a paranormal messageboard

Scroll down a bit to Hermitage Castle. It tells of William de Soulis, 
a Scottish baron. He was killed in a a big pot of molten lead. I 
remember the Bloody Baron's description that he had splotches of 
silvery blood stains. What if the stains aren't blood and really 
molten lead? I think in SS/PS, Nick tells Harry he never asked the 
Baron exactly how he died. Maybe being "The Bloody Baron" is cooler 
than being "The Molten Lead Splattered Baron"? lol
