[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 405869, member: 386"] I ran a pretty creepy adventure once. It had a reclusive Baron living in a small keep in an out-of-the-way area of the kingdom. A Hag was plaguing his lands, and he could not kill her. There was also a ghost haunting his keep. She lived in the one ruined tower. The Baron came to the PC's aid, and freaked them out quite a bit while they stayed at his keep. The ghost made them wonder what was going on (they blamed the Baron for her death). Then one of the players read a "damned tome", and went slightly insane. (Great timing!) The real story was that the Baron's father was abusive, and the Baron's mother called on the Hag to kill/abuse the Baron. When the Baron's father learned about this, he killed her in her room (the ruined tower). Shortly after, the Hag killed him, but still plagued the lands, since the child was now the Baron. Nothing particularly new, or even that interesting, but it worked pretty well with the right mood.
