The voice seems to come from a small bundle hung up in a tree. At first it appears to be a particularly frayed, bear bag hanging spinning slowly in the breeze. Tied to the limb like overripe fruit. On closer inspection by the light of the lantern though it is revealed to be young woman's severed head. The face is twisted by tortured death and hysterical fear. It stops spinning upon locking eyes with Zokon, but continues (somehow) to sing.

♬ "Oh! ladies, see! the groom's arrived
He's caught himself a pale, new bride!" ♬

The party notes the presence of horses beyond, but there is no light. The head hangs at eye-level 60' away (just inside the edge of where the lantern's cone of light is brightest).

knowledge (arcana) DC 24:
Someone has magicked the head turning it into a sort of sentry. They magicked it to speak as well via magic mouth. The DC is slightly higher to account for what is hopefully your character's unfamiliarity with this relatively rare spell.
