[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 3018420, member: 40076"] Terrifying things? -A burned out room, this one room (small, barely as big as a prison cell), and everything in it, has been completely destroyed long ago by a fire . When the players open the door, a cloud of ash and smoke rolls out, then dissipates. The next time the player who opened the door tries to get any sleep, he will be visited by an apparition in his dreams, a boy of no more than 12 who intones something along the lines of "You were in my room. Don't go into my room. You stay out of my room, and I'll stay out of yours." Messing with people's dreams is always conductive to terror. I used to have one player dream in 8-bit Nintendo games... which always had some minor involvement with the day ahead. Then, one day, he dreamed of Chrono trigger, which i forgot was a 16 bit game... he was freaked out all day. -A spider web with a disproportionately large bone in it (Like a selection of chicken bones being held up by the spider webs) -One room that is immaculately clean. Im-maculate. No dust, no cobwebs, nothing... though a filthy rag sits on a small table at the end of it, it's stained with years of dust, and a large stain the familiar color of dried blood... -A yellowed, dust and cobweb covered painting hanging on the wall in the first room they enter. It's of some creepy old woman with the piercing eyes that follow you around the room. Three or so rooms later, there is... the same paiting? every couple of rooms they enter has the exact same painting, if they ever decide to backtrack, the painting won't be in the older rooms, but will show up in places that it hadn't previously been... -a bathroom. This alone should suprise any player, as [u]no[/u] place has bathrooms. [/QUOTE]
