- When a PC cast a spell, something uncanny happen : a plant dies, a dead bug comes back to life, the nearest electric socket starts to bleed, etc...

-Several people attack a sidewalk hotdog vendor and eat everything on his cart. Later that day a similar incident occurs, only this time at a trendy diner. This pattern of unexplained gluttony continues (and increases in frequency) over the next few days.

your image in your post OP is a piece of artwork by Theodore Kittelsen

-in an old decrepid building that for some reason (any reason) your pcs are exploring, they come across a bucket filled with murky water. On examination (of simply getting knocked over) it turns out the bucket is actually filled with thousands of human teeth. Go into an elaborate description of the scene. Give no further explanation. The authorities are not interested. There are no clues. Only questions.

-The players and an NPC or two come across the body of a woman who has no head. While examining it, it promplty snatches the nearest NPC and rips their head off, placing it on its one neck. The eyes open and it begins shrieking in the voice of the former owner of the head.

- -The phone rings. When someone picks it up, they hear a voice scream, "Oh God! It's ripping my flesh!" Oddly, the voice seems to come from the part that plugs into the wall, not the part you hold up against your head. Even more oddly, there seems to be a fair amount of ecstasy in the voice.

-A rabbit hops out of the rabbit hole, and pauses just outside the entrance, before a human arm pulls it back down the hole.

-Misplaced items start showing up in the PC's possession--they just find them, and the items aren't necessarily stuff they have misplaced. First it's odd socks, ballpoint pens, pencils, loose change, erasers, screws and bolts. Then it starts to be CDs, books--these things often have names written on them, so the PCs know it's not their stuff. A pair of pants. But then it's a pair of false teeth. And eyeglasses. And a pacemaker. And all the misplaced junk really wants to be in the same room.

This has several consequences: First, the PCs are up on mischief charges or murder charges (the pacemaker is pretty extreme). And second, the junk is assembling into something like a person. And when it can be a person, what kind of agenda does it have with regards to the PCs?

I am monitoring this thread for my unholy masters

-A dog or cat walks up to a lone PC (this works best with a single character that is separated from the group), seemingly begging for attention. If the PC pets or feeds the animal, it speaks to them in their native language, imparting some useful bit of info that is relevant to the current adventure, then runs off.

-One night when a PC is sleeping, they realise they can feel a number of things poking into their back - they awake to find that they are somehow inside their matress. Or, even better, they awaken at night to find something ELSE moving around inside their mattress.

Just to say : I'm currently writing a Delta Green sandbox campaign for my player group. The main threat is Nathan harmati, (and generally the whole Cult of transcendance). I'll use some of these through a "Demonic Vision" spell. If you have any tips and/or idea to pour in, please share ! back to our program :

-After a week of toothaches, while flossing a character finds what feels like a new row of teeth growing behind his first set.

-Finally, a classic from 1855. On the morning of February 8th, residents of southern Devon woke to a strange sight; a line of hoof-like prints in the snow, stretching more than 100 miles. The pacing between the prints was measured at 8.5", suggesting a bipedal creature, and were noted to pass over or through obstacles.

For once OP is not a fag. Bumpan.

-While walking through the city the PC's see someone getting torn apart by a horiffic monster when it catches sight of them it screams and flee's. Some time later they see it doing the same thing to someone or something they know is sufficiently more powerful than them that it could tear them apart yet again the monster flee's in terror when it see's them.

Thx, trying hard to fight the Paladin and MTG threads !

-A picture of a stranger having taken a self portrait of himself on a roll of your film (or on a memory card), smiling and holding an infant in your living room. You know that you did not take the camera out of the house or have guests over between the shot before and the shot afterwards and are good about locking the doors.Generally, "not yours" pictures always work

Great one but hard to use
-You wake up to find a complete stranger in your bed but they and everyone/everything else insists you've been married since highschool offering up photo's and the like to support it. He or she is very attractive, smart, has a great job and (if your PC tries it out) amazing in the sack. If the PC is persistent in looking for answers, their spouse takes them aside one day and in a pained voice asks them to "Please play along, just for a little bit more". They act like reasonable people and don't threaten to hurt or kill the PCs, but do try to convince them that their mysterious relationship is for the best for the time being.

>the PC's find a picture of a forest. The trees are all leafless. Everything is normal. Except the tree branches end in human hands.

Big one
You get a phone call from your Mother. Since her car has been in the shop, she asks you to go to the grocery store and pick up a few odds and ends for her. Bread, milk, cereal, and chicken breasts.

After writing down a small list you reluctantly get in the car and pick up the items at the store. The lady cashier makes an odd remark to you, "You know, we're in no danger of a milk shortage." Upon arriving at her house you knock several times. No answer. You decide to try the door. It opens. You place the grocery bag on the counter. Strange. There seems to be six other grocery bags, each with identical contents. In a couple, the chicken and the milk has gone bad. "Mom," you call out, but no answer. You make your way thru the kitchen and into the living room. Sitting on the couch, with her head cut off and neatly resting on her lap, is your Mother.

Naturally you call the police who come over to investigate. They mention that she has been dead for nearly a week. Furthermore, the police psychiatrist is at the scene and talks to you after you give your initial statement. Sitting on the front steps, you overhear the psychiatrist talking with the crime scene investigator. "It's not uncommon for people suffering from schizophrenia to get locked into a series of repetative behaviors," he says.

You think to yourself, "They can't be talking about me. Schitophrenia? Nah. Repetative behavior? Do they think I did this?" Suddenly your cell phone goes off. "Hello?"

"Hi hun, it's me. Could you stop at the store and pick up some chicken and milk. Ohh, and I need some bread and cereal too."

"No problem Mom. I'll be right over..."

Thread #5: Hospitals

This covers everything from dental clinics to hospitals to asylums. These aren't so much weird events, they rarely ever are, but make great plot hooks. Need to get some investigators together? Make a ruling that they must all create characters who are ill. (On that note, anyone know any adventures created about hospitals?) Here's a few basic ideas:

1. Whenever a particular nurse comes near, the investigator suffers a nose bleed, ear ache or a terrible pain in his head.

2. A particular person always seems to be waiting by the bed next to them but no one seems to know who they are. As frequently as they are escorted out of the building, they just seem to find their way back.

3. The bed they fall asleep on always seems to be damp or the mattress is stained with charcoal.

4. They go to sleep in one room and wake up in another, or they wake up on a gurney in the middle of the room.

5. A stain on the wall that the cleaners always scrub at but that never goes away. In fact, it seems to grow larger...

6. The television in the common area shows images of static-shrouded hell whenever a particular orderly, nurse, doctor or other patient walks past.

7. Whenever entering the first floor toilets, one always seems to exit the second floor toilets (hello Silent Hill).

8. The investigators check someone in for treatment, and when they return to check on him, the hospital is abandoned.

9. The investigators are completely ignored by staff, patients, and visitors, even if the investigators get right up in their face.

10. In one room, the wall paint changes color every night.

11: Muffled crying, laughing or mumbling can be heard from a cell. When investigated the cell is always empty.

12: A clock on the wall always skip 5 minutes around midnight. Maybe an emitted hanged himself at around this time...?

13. The next door private room to the investigators' ward contains a badly burnt man under police guard. Occasionally, he babbles in a language the investigators don't understand, though they may recognize it as something fairly obscure - say, Maltese. Overnight, he disappears, and the staff are unwilling to talk about him. Over the next couple of days, incomprehensible messages appear scratched or smeared on walls in the ward, the bathrooms etc. They are in Maltese.

14. A shaken-looking porter claims within player earshot to have seen the "Judas Pig" again in the steam corridors.

15. An investigator dreams of a tide of blood pouring into the corridor from a spot on the wall. Next morning, hospital cleaning staff are attempting to remove a small but stubborn stain from that very point.

16. There is a senile old man on the ward with the PCs. On one occasion, he gets out of bed when there are no staff nearby and wanders over to the nearest PC. Pointing at an NPC in another bed, he whispers conspiratorially, "They'll get him next." Then he goes back to bed and can't subsequently be engaged in coherent conversation. An hour or so later, the indicated NPC goes into cardiac arrest and dies despite the best efforts of the staff. The next day, the old man does the same thing again, but this time the person he indicates is one of the PCs...

17. The elevators in the giant city hospital don't show a floor 13 - such a superstitious omission isn't unusual, and the elevator doesn't appear to take any extra time getting between floors 12 and 14. However, of the floors are counted from outside, there doesn't appear to be one missing.

18: An inmate in a straightjacket is always rocking back and forth babbling to himself. It is impossible to get in touch with him. But whenever a particular pc comes near him he becomes silent, recoils in fear and whimpers.

19: In the bathroom, there is a message scratched in the wall. When you look into the mirror you see it says "help me"... or redrum if you prefer

20: One inmate is convinced every surface is covered in bugs. Not unusual... but whenever one of the pc´s come in the inmates cell he sees them too... but nobody else does

21:the patient -investigator seems to be forgoten by everyone -including nurses etc. and he has to make his way alone out of there,only to wake up again in the same bed the moment he reaches the door

22: A PC patient is admitted for some specific ailment - but the staff wants to treat something else entirely, with radical means. E.g. colostomy and kidney transplantation for retinal detachment or chemo-therapy for a dislocated shoulder...

23: A patient always has recent wounds in strange patterns on his back or other places he cant reach himself despite being in an isolation cell

24: Everytime the investigators hear about something weird having happened it was a particular persons watch. All attempts to contact or otherwise get in touch with this person fails as nobody knows where he lives or where he is. He is never at work when the pc´s are there.

-The hospital I work for has a building which DOES have a secret floor, the very top one. It's not numbered, and only one of the elevators goes that high. The only secrets it holds at the moment are pumps for the air conditioning and a single backup server, but I'm lobbying the management to put a genetics lab or a psychatric ward or SOMETHING worth keeping hidden up there.

We also have secret patients - people whose identities have to be kept secret because they're under police protection or hiding from an abusive partner. They have no records or documentation, and the only staff who know they're on-site are the doctors and nurses treating them. Even then, they may not know their real names.

There's also a series of tunnels, both for utilities (the hospital generators could power the entire central city in an emergency) and transporting cadavers to the university next door. They have weird geometric patterns painted on the walls, but so do most of the other hospital buildings that were constructed in the 1970s. One thing that'll surprise you about hospitals is how much hidden space they have - utility rooms, ducting and pneumatic delivery systems, alcoves for machinery that isn't used anymore, things like that. There are rooms where no-one has been for YEARS because only Facilities have the keys, and nothing in there has needed maintenance in that time.

Sadly, our morgue is about as un-spooky as it gets. Bright fluorescent lights, radio playing constantly, large open spaces - disappointing, really.

<Ed note: Not spooky but potentially useful, so I added it to the document>

25. A blood sample comes in for analysis from a private healthcare company. It has a weird, acrid odour that stings the eyes and nose. A spectroscope gives meaningless results, and microsope slides become cloudy and corroded. When quizzed about the sample, the company protests that they're paying to have questions answered, not asked.

26. One of the doctors is a miracle worker. It seems like there's no injury or disease he can't treat. His reputation is spreading across the city. The thing is, none of the hospital staff recognise his name or description, and he has no employment or clinic records in the hospital's filing system.

27. The hospital's emergency ward has a 'worst case scenario' room with protocols and vital supplies for pandemics and other full scale emergencies. At the back of this room is ANOTHER room, which has been locked as long as anyone can remember, and even the hospital's director doesn't have a key. The only identification on the door is a handwritten sign reading 'ROSENBERG SCENARIO - NO ADMITTANCE'.

28. Every nightshift at 1:17 in the morning, every clock in the hospital seems to skip forward 22 minutes. Outside clocks confirm the time is correct, somehow those 22 minutes have passed - but no-one can remember them.

29. Three identical interns, all brothers, express an interest in specialising in prenatal medicine. Shortly after they begin practicing in the maternity ward, medical checks reveal fetuses going MISSING from inside pregnant women...

30. A nurse makes a complaint to the medical ethics council - a surgeon she has been assisting with abortions hasn't been taking things out, he's been putting them IN.

31. One particular theatre is no longer used, because no matter what surgical procedure is being performed in there, the patient will die of an arterial blood clot in the left lung.

32. The hospital has been ordering ten times its usual supply of a rare blood type, all for use in treating a paticular patient. However, that patient isn't receiving treatment, and hasn't even been checked into the hospital in more than a year.

33: There is an old car in the parking lot. It belongs to a patient whose room lies directly above it. It is old, but in good shape. One night the patient dies. Next morning, the paint is peeling off. 2 days later and the windows show cracks. 2 weeks after, obvious rust stains appear....

34: One of the players are in the Nightwatch´s office. The red light blinks and the phone is ringing. Signal is coming from the morgue. But it's locked...

35: Hospital has had a number of complaints regarding surgical procedures that have gone wrong. These all share the same theme that a perfectly healthy organ has been removed in error. No record can be found of the disposal of the removed organs.

36: Hospital has suffered a spate of thefts over a short period of time. By working out what has been taken the PC's might get a clue as to what the intent of the thief is.

38. A new patient arrives and chats happily to the person on the bed beside them. Day by day, they lose a party of their anatomy and continue to quite happily explain that the doctors are making them better. (yay for Blackstone Chronicle references)

39. Awaken to find the walls water-stained and a one-inch puddle on the floor. Nobody else notices the fact that everything is damp.

40. Find yourself in a hospital with no memory of any ailment and a kidney removed.

41: You wake up in a psych ward. All attempts to persuade the workers to let you out fail and all but one of the inmates are useless. The one who is not is constantly looking at you. The only thing he will ever say is that "They came with us, they will take us away..." one day he suddenly says "They know. They are coming. They will take you next"

The next morning he has dissapeared.

42: The player is in the bed next to a psychiatric case who always awaken at night and screams about bugs all over the room. One day he is discharged and the player moved into his old bed. Afterwards, the player will wake up every night to find the room crawling....

Thread #4: The City

1. You walk down one street to find all of the street lamps begin flickering. In the flickering shadows you can see the shadows of hung corpses, jerking about as though dancing.

2. One traffic light shows all lights as green.

3. Footprints seem burned into the cement.

4. See a man dragging himself along into a storm water drain. When you get close, you see a stained silhouette of him.

5. Several people in the crowd have their heads twisted backward but they act just like they were normal.

6. An odd siren plays in the distance that stops all the people in their tracks, causing them to turn and head towards the source. The siren stops and they all resume doing what they were doing. It happens with increasing frequency, taking longer each time to stop.

7. You move into a new apartment, and introduce yourself to the neighbours. They act as though you've been there for years, and they don't like you much. In fact, everyone seems to know you, and hold a very low opinion of you.

8. You're walking down a side street, and everything goes silent. No traffic, no sirens, no music, no humming air conditioners. The only sound is your own breathing. Even the air is still. Then you round a corner and everything's normal again.

9. Every paving stone. curb or concrete block you set foot on cracks. So does every pane of glass you look through.

10. You start seeing your name scrawled on walls everywhere you go.

11. You can hear a tremendous thudding sound coming from the next street over, but when you reach it, there's nothing. The sound repeats throughout the day, separated from you by just one wall, or office building. Sometimes it comes from the other side of a bus stopped in traffic. No-one else seems to notice.

12. Your electricity gets cut off, because the power company thinks you're dead. Then the water, for the same reason. The post office begins returning your mail to sender. The bank closes your account. No matter how many calls you make or who you visit, you somehow keep getting officially listed as dead.

13. Every night as you return home, your neighbours all turn their lights out as you walk up the steps to the building.

14. Someone keeps sliding newspaper clippings of horrible crimes committed in your apartment under your door. No matter how many times you move, they always seem to know where you are, and somehow find fresh crimes to shock you with.

15. The sky is a weird brownish red, like blood stains, and the clouds are thick and redder, like blood clots (welcome to Adelaide).

16. Everytime they pass through one of the busiest streets, they find that there is more and more mould. At first it's just in the cracks of buildings and pavement, then it's thickly encrusting window panes and soon it will make doors hard to open, cover sections of pavement. No one else steps on or touches the mould nor do they acknowledge it as oddly thick.

17. A television set sits in an alley. It's a plasma screen. Oddly, no one steals it. The next day, there's an expensive DVD player in a trolley. The next day the handles are hung with jewellery. Anyone who steals one of the items, finds that it's jammed, filled with, some sort of odd material that seeps out during the night, looking oddly like snail trails.

18. All the street vendors refuse to talk to the characters. They'll pack up and silently leave if questioned.

19. The mall they go into has shops that change position and doors that never seem to be in the same place twice. The mall directory can never be found.

20. As you walk down a street, you notice the street lights are flickering. Looking down, you see the shadows of figures hanging from the shadows of the street lights, seeming to jerk and twitch as though electrocuted. As you pass one of the street lights, the hairs on your arms rise up and you start to fell warm...

21. You go into a clothing store which is unique for having its mannequins suspended from the ceiling, chat to the cheery store clerk and take some clothes into the clothing room. After trying on everything, you come out and find the place deserted and all the mannequins are no longer intact, but they still all hang from the ceiling, in menacing poses. What's more, there's a streak of thick red blood clotting on the ground, leading behind the counter.

22. All the windows on the apartment building you pass explode outward at the same time, creating a shower of glass that seems to drop down around you in slow motion.

23. You go into a book store and notice that all the words on the spines of each book seems to blur into each other. You just can't seem to distinguish any of the letters. What's worse, the letters seem to almost coalesce with letters on the spines of the other books.

24. Every photography-shop you pass has all the pictures in the display windows turned with the picture into the wall, except one, which is a picture of a young man with a disproportioned face. He looks ill or somehow odd. As you pass the shop his face seems to become grimmer and darker, and his eyes seem to follow you, same as the eyes in certain old paintings. Obviously just tricks of the light...

25. You pass by a construction site, where in work is being done on a waterline main or some such. The hole is quite wide and deep. There are two construction workers in an even deeper hole in the middle. They are bent over, and several machines are humming or otherwise making noise. Over the noise, you also seem to hear the sounds of muffled yelps or cries. Whenever the construction workers stop the machines, the yelps seem to stop also. Two other workers are doing work outside the deep hole, and both seem to be sweating quite profoundly. It's also a hot day, though.

26. It rains in your street; all day, every day.

27. The apartment where you live overlooks a funeral director's. Through the skylight, you can see a succession of autopsies on weirdly deformed people.

28. You see a succession of people enter an apartment building opposite where you live. You never see anyone come out.

29. The church near your home is filled with sounds of loud choir singing in another language. You can also here in the undertones, what sounds like an exhausted voice screaming for help, but it's hard to be sure if you truly hear it or if you just think you hear it.

30. A dumpster in an alley just across from you has an arm hanging out of it. When you go to check, you find it's just a mannequin. You start seeing mannequins about frequently, on park benches, sitting on the steps to apartments. One day, your old friend comes over, complaining of nightmares, and goes to sleep on your couch. You wake up to find a mannequin lying in place there.

31. Every time you come home, the phone in your apartment rings as you approach the door. But you can never open the door in time and no one ever leaves a message. Your caller ID says 'Private Name, Private Number'.

32. You wake in the middle of the night certain that someone is in the room with you. Lying there, silently, you can hear their breathing. You turn the light on but no one is there.

33. A helicopter seems to follow you all day, every day, buzzing high in the sky above.

34. Late one night, you've been out drinking and can't seem to catch a taxi home. They all ignore you, speeding by. As you decide to walk home, you notice that the buses aren't running either. And now the taxis stop passing you as well. So do the other cars. Now you notice there isn't another single person or car or bus or anything on the street around you. You are alone.

35. You try to pay for your groceries at the store and your wallet is empty but a stack of faded photographs. You hand the photographs to the checker, he accepts them and gives you 'change' in other, smaller snapshots. You see that his register is full of only photographs.

36. While driving at night you overtake a slowly moving hearse. After passing the car you check your rear view mirror and there's nothing behind you but open road. After a while the hearse is again in front of you.

36. Across the city, strange storefronts can be found in deserted back alleys. The store-fronts always have items from times in the past; old books, newspapers, clothes, etc. The windows are dusty but there is a dull light that burns inside and you think you can see someone moving around. The sign on the door reads "closed" and there is no response to any knocking ...

37. A street sign says 'You're in hell.'

38. You wake up every morning with a new scar somewhere in your body.

39. Contents of a carton of juice include human remains.

This thread kicks ass. Bumpan.

37. You find your flat mate pacing back and forth every time you get home as though waiting for something. One night, you wake up to the sound of his footsteps and, irritated, go out to tell him off. He's not there... He's not in his room either. The very next night ... the footsteps are in the hall. Then they're marching by your bed.

38. Children play hopscotch with skipping ropes, the handles of which are encrusted with grease and ash.

39. One day, it just starts snowing ash as you go about your business. On the radio you hear reports about fires rushing in from the north yet no one seems panicked. Everyone seems quite calm, melancholy, even, as they go about their business.

40. Every fortune telling machine you try tells you to watch your back.

41. Your friends and family starts calling you by a different name. You check your ID and find the same name there. You check with the officials and they confirm this, showing you a birth certificate, and also a death certificate.

40. Every night you see people you know on the evening news. They have been kidnapped, murdered, raped or abused. The next day, you see them at work or in the street, as if nothing has happened.

43. You pass a small gated park. It is dingy and in poor repair, the home of vagrants. At the center of the park is an equestrian statue dedicated to a General Ambrose (1851-1932). He is praised as “The Victor of the Battle of Mt. Holly and Liberator of New Jersey. Accepted the Surrender of Von Gartenlaube at Cape May, Nov. 11, 1917.” The statue’s base is tagged with graffiti mostly from a gang called “the Kings”.

Thread #3: Military Bases

1. When the investigator is alone, they will hear the faintly audible sound of a gun cocking.

2. A figure will walk around corners, just ahead of the investigators, saying: "Is someone there?" (San loss 1/2)

3. There will be an ops room where the walls are covered in pictures of an investigator, all their habits, whereabouts and significant others. A clipboard on a table will have a piece of paper with a map, an entry plan, and the words: "PUBLIC ENEMY NO#1, (investigator)". (san loss: depends on the player. Normal people will take more damage than paranoids. Oh, and the room will disappear after the investigator leaves)

4. A pleading, sobbing voice echoes through the halls, followed by a loud report. Any attempts to track down the source will fail.

5. A character goes unconcious and wakes to the sound of a spinning revolver. (san loss 0/1)

6. Gas-mask wearing men conduct regular sweeps of the hallways, disappearing as they come into view.

7. As an investigator opens a door, a long burst of gunfire is emptied. The investigator falls down. On to a torn up, bullet ridden corpse. (San loss 1/2)

8. All weapons immediately empty. All of them. Within a 10 mile radius.

9. A chuckle is heard, and a corpse falls from a skylight.

10. A computer shows a (fake) news broadcast of World War three, accompanied with pictures of the investigators pushing dead children into trucks, killing prisoners, and other such atrocities.

GET THAT SHIT AWAY FROM ME THE NIGHTMARES WERE ENOUGH!

11. Go into the main toilets and come out upstairs in the officers' quaters as though coming out of those toilets.

12. Doors lock themseles for no apparent reason.

13. The PC goes out and watches those on parade. Everyone seems to be watching the PC, staring at them and twisting their heads to see them, even if it's a physical impossibility to turn their heads that far.

14. Old air raid sirens sound but there are no air raid sirens in the military base.

15. Grenades randomly go off while the person is wearing them, even better if the military base has their new recruits wear belts with flashbangs or fake grenades.

16. The entire military base gets dysentry.

17. Everyone's socks are damp. Always damp. After awhile, they start getting trench foot.

18. People disappear randomly and are replaced by people from minority groups that the army doesn't regularly employ (homosexuals, women, etc.)

19. An important officer paces like a caged animal, talking to himself and sipping tea while twirling his gun.

20. People have decks of cards appear in their coat pocket. The Ace of Spades is always the first one drawn.

21. A black van with a small satellite dish stops in front of the investigator's bunker and stays there. Two heavily armed guards prevent anyone from getting close to the van.

22. The investigators are sent to the brig for being drunka nd disorderly on base. The next morning, they are the only ones left.

23. An old tank is on display at the entrance to the base. It's non-functional and is now just a shell, but from time to time the turret appears in a slightly different position than it was the day before.

24. Same as above, but sentries on duty near the tank have sworn that they've heard voices coming from inside, but the hatches have all been welded shut.

25. Security cameras in the corrdiors seem to follow certain people.

26. During an air raid drill the investigators enter an underground shelter. When the all clear sounds they find the entrance is blocked. The only way one is a small apparently unused tunnel that lead further underground....

27. All the food in the base goes foul overnight.

28. A group of solemn-looking children are escorted out the back of an old-fashioned truck and into the base, never to be seen again. None of the other officers admit to seeing them.

29. Carved into one of the placards is an Elder Sign.

30. The military base refuses to let anyone leave the base or contact the outside world for a few weeks and has a rotating shift of guards patrol the perimeter. During this time, turning on the television brings on static that shrouds some rather disturbing pictures, using the telephone means listening to weird static-like laughter that rises to a terrible, mechanical screeching sound, and anyone who leaves gets just out of sight before a terrible tearing sound is heard and an awful scream goes up.

31. The commanding officer locks himself in his room, gibbering to himself. If anyone goes in to fetch him, he commits suicide with his gun. His blood soaks into the wall, forming stains that cannot be removed.

32. The investigators return from a tour of duty to find that everyone in the base is mourning the grisly death of one of them. They will not register his existence and will soon hunt him down and bury him. Alive.

34. The base intercom system is going nuts with static and weird noises. If you listen carefully, you can hear garbled orders coming through, although none of the officers are giving them. Listen long and carefully enough and you can piece together what sounds like this very same base taking part in a desperate fight for survival against an unknown aggressor.

WHAT IS THIS WHAT'S GOING ON

35. Someone's been moving around in the barracks at night after lights-out, but no matter how many surprise bunk checks the officers make they can't find anyone out of place.

36. The chaplain begins service one Sunday morning, only to discover that the text in his bible has somehow reversed itself - it's printed entirely right-to-left, including the inscription his seminary mentor wrote inside the front cover. Later, a hand-written log book is found to have reversed as well. Then the instrument labels in a plane's cockpit.

37. An unmarked group of fighter jets set down for refueling and servicing. The canopies are painted black on the inside. Officers have orders to shoot anyone who tries to look inside.

38. Every compass on the base swings North-East for ten minutes.

39. Civilian contractors on the base for the afternoon complain that the drinking water 'tastes funny'. As they leave, one is having trouble breathing and the second has developed a painful rash on his mouth and hands.

40. A new commanding oficer sets the troops increasingly bizarre and pointless tasks. After a few days, these start to become dangerous as well as absurd.

41. Large quantities of new supplies start being shipped in unexpectedly. These are of a slightly worrying nature; decontamination equipment, NBC suits, body bags.

42. A transport helicopter crashes spectacularly nearby. Personnel sent out to deal with the disaster find that many of the bodies have peculiar malformations not caused by crash injuries.

43. The base is placed on high alert; all leave is cancelled and no-one is allowed on or off base. The next day, all contact with the outside world is lost, but the CO refuses to allow anyone off base to investigate. Next morning, all has returned to usual, and the alert is cancelled. The outside world seems not to have experienced anything of the previous day, and the date has been advanced only one day, not two...

44. Guards are alerted to frequent disturbances at the perimiter fence. When they get there, there is nothing to see except the signs of frantic digging outside the fence. The marks look like they were made by an enormous dog, but there are also traces of a mysterious tarry substance.

45. The player characters find that their kit is, without their knowledge, being replaced by obsolescent gear. No-one else seems to notice. Then letters start being delivered for soldiers who aren't posted here, with postmarks that seem to be years out of date.

46. Something nasty is found in one of their boots.

47. Every time they awake, the floor is freshly washed. Despite the temperature, it always seems to stay wet.

48. An underground floor fills up with water from a burst pipe that goes up to their waist. The officers demand everyone go about their business as normal. Unfortunately, there's something in the water ... a woman with long hair who just seems to float there. Anyone who attempts to reach her, well ... let's just say it's best not to try and reach her.

49. A PC wakes up to a room covered in words written in an Eldritch tongue and every night from that night on, he has to try to sleep with a high-up officer reading out the words each night.

The PCs are told to oversee the digging of a large trench by bulldozers on an isolated part of the base away from public view. Trucks drive up - the PCs help unload barrels of gasoline and drums of quicklime. Next to arrive are trucks containing heavy machine guns -The PCS have to set them up on tripods so they will sweep the edge of the trenches. A staff car turns up - A Five star General gets out along with two men in Black suits and sunglasses and makes a short speech - the substance of which is that sometimes a soldier has to obey orders without questioning them. The next vehicles that pull into sight are a line of buses, yellow school buses with shades drawn over the windows. The sound of the coach engines cannot quite mask the sound of children’s voices singing "There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name-o"...

43. Music room with baby grand piano has a piece of sheet music on the rest (keeper's choice, something old). Investigators examine room, little of interest is found. PC's go to another area.

Upon returning to the music room, they discover the first piece of sheet music on the floor covered in (goo of Keeper's choice) as well as on the piano keys [music roll to discover the keys are NOT the ones necessary to play the tune].

>>16561095
OP has file full of weird random encounter stuff.
Cool anon above starts posting his own stuff.

(49). I really like the idea of the stairway down leading to the attic, and the stairway up leading to the cellar. Alternatively, both lead to the attic during the day, and both lead to the cellar during the night.

50. A cold draft coming from or going to an important room in the house.

51. Dried blood in ceiling, ceiling thickness about 1,5 foot. Filled with optional ugliness(rib-cages?)

52. A chest in a room that emits a babies cries(babies abound in theese posts), that proves very difficult to open. When finally opened it contains thousands of flies, and a rotting baby(guh). The thing is, none of the flies will touch the baby whatsoever, which is why tehy burst out of the lid, they're all trying to get away from it.

53. In a room with particularly high ceiling, a chandelier, upon closer inspection, is ornamented with a great many milk-teeth.

54. A small, blank diary that mysteriously fills in a page everytime something is uncovered. The diary is always lost and then found again when this happens. The writing is increasingly erratic, and switches rfom ink to blood on the last page before it turns into runes, and the cover is suddenly bound with the skins of faces

55. If the investiagtors don't bring their own cups, the cups in the house bleed from the botoom into any liquid poured into them. Easy to see if drinking water, but with a black coffee, they're bound to taste it before seeing it.

56. Dusty inprint on window, of old serious-looking woman

The liquor in the liquor cabinet has been replaced with blood or other vile fluids.

A dinner is set at the table and the food is still warm.

Looking into the fireplace one can see what looks like a baby head, only to reveal upon closer inspection it is a porcelain doll's head. (SAN loss here)

Walking up the stairs seems to lead to the basement...

...Mirrors always reflect the person looking in it surrounded by dead friends and family members. They appear in the clothing and "state" their bodies were in when they died...Uncle Walter, of the Canadian Expeditionery Force is particularly horrifying. He died at Paashedale in an artillery attack...of course, they all want to talk to you, too!

An investigator falls asleep, only to wake at some unspecified hour in the night. They are shivering - it has become unseasonably cold, which is what has awoken them. All the windows have fogged over - and written in the condensation on one of the windows/a mirror are the words: "Get out of my house," or "Help me" - whichever seems spookier/more appropriate.

It is impossible to get a fire alight in one of the firegrates, however hard you try.

At night, shadows are thrown on a nearby wall by the lights of a window that doesn't exist (read your M.R. James, folks!).

The sounds of a telephone ringing or a toilet flushing are somethimes heard in the distance, even though the utilities were cut off years ago.

Wall voids are found to contain large numbers of rodent skeletons with peculiar deformities.

The mundane paintings on the wall undergo a horrible transformation at night. The paint becomes wet, warm, and drippy, and the subjects of the paintings change drastically. A portrait of a family member appears to become corpse-like or the features become alien & twisted. A painting of a ship becomes a picture of a wreckage with the dead crewmembers crawling out. A picture of an estate becomes a decrepid ruin, with various shadowy forms appearing in windows and seeming to move around. Sanity loss would be 1/1D6.

All doors on a certian level are perfectly normal, apart from one obscure worn warped bedroom door with 30+ knives stuck into it.

(inspired by the dog following post) Things that shouldn't be in a mansion appear randomly and stare at you (Herons, owls, wolves, occupied suits of armour, man in a gas mask with a notepad, your spouse, etc)

Barbed wire surrounds every single square window

When investigating from an upper floor, you notice outside there is a man preparing to burgle the place. Upon returing to the lower level, you find his lacerated arm, with a trail of blood leading off.

As a player tries to leave the mansion, have a voice call out "But I love you!" <editor's note - not really spooky so much as absolutely hilarious, at least the way I'd say it>

Pens or pencils scorch the paper rather than write on it.

A passage where the wooden wall is studded with thousands of human teeth embedded in the planks.

A pantry filled with genuine ancient Egyptian Canopic Jars, some of which have been opened.

What appears to be a substantial record collection but is, upon inspection, hundreds of copies of the same record over and over, only with labels and covers corresponding to other (rare and valuable) recordings. Are these all mis-labeled, or have the contents 'warped' en masse? And guess what's on the record player.

The TV is on all day, even if it's unplugged and the electricity is gone. The picture is paused, showing some character freezed in the middle of some movement (rising from a chair, turning around etc). The persons eyes are averted from those watching. No matter what the investigators do, the TV simply won't shut down.
When they leave and later return, they discover that the eyes of the person on the screen has changed slightly, even though the scene hasn't, and now is staring right at anybody looking at the screen.

Dead fish, squids or similar creatures are found in the most unusual places; the toilet, a bed, in the drainpipes, deskdrawers, or buried in the backyard.

The words in any books or magazines (come ...) start to change. At first it is only odd words in a sentence but as time goes on (come to me ...) they become more and more prounounced (come to me ... I) and the message (come to me ... I know what you fear ...) becomes clear.

Small fetish- like objects start turning up - a hank of cloth , a small carved stone head, a birds skull, a skein of blood soaked knotted wool, a wax effigy pierced with nails. The objects become grimmer and more surreal as the days pass -an eyeball with a razor blade embedded in it, a strangled puppy with one paw cut off, a large snake with what appear to be vestigal wings on its back, a severed childs hand clutching a porcelain doll's hand...They appear in unlikely places in locked and sealed rooms... in cups, in drawers, under pillows, on the mantlepiece...on some days only one is found, on others dozens appear in a single room

A door in the PC's house warps shut and no matter what the the PC does (short of taking a chainsaw to it), the door refuses to budge. The PC can hear noises behind it. Odd scuffling sounds. If he or she goes to look through the window, they notice that the window has been barricaded from the inside. Whenever he attempts to call the cops, his phone is barraged by static, whenever he attempts to go to the cops, disruptions and interventions occur, from a car tyre bursting, to seeing a child or family member running in panic from something -- though they never remember doing so.

Then one night, they hear someone who lives with them move about the flat. They hear a door creak open loudly, then slam shut.

The very next night, it's open a crack.

Thread #7: The Aquarium

Because aquariums can be scary places.

1. Strange glowing eggs appear overnight in the tropical fish tank. When a marine biologist is called in, she goes pale and refuses to identify them.

2. Cuttlefish begin communicating with each other using combinations of tentacle postures and color changes never before documented.

3. An octopus that lost a tentacle in a fight is regrowing two more in its place. According to one witness, both of them have retractable barbed hooks.

4. The water has a faint luminescence visible only in darkness. Tracking down the protozoan or algae responsible is proving difficult.

5. One of the custodians is developing webbing between his fingers and toes and scales on his back. At the same time a sturgeon in one of the tanks appears to be growing hands, feet, and hair

6. Something is eating the Moray Eels. Well, the insides anyway

7. One of the pebbles on the bottom of the tank looks uncannily like a fingerbone, but it's just too far away to be sure.

8. Dr. Moore, who just got back from a collection trip to the south seas, has been acting strange lately. He's keeps his office door locked all the time. When standing outside the door you could swear he's talking to someone, but the only thing in his office is the tank holding the one exotic fish he brought back.

9. The pipes underneath the tanks which supply water to the tanks have begun to glow. No one is sure why.

10. Jenny, the nutritionist who creates the "diets" for the fish, has begun using an odd meat. No one is sure what she is using, but the fish are looking better than ever.

11. Every fish in the store/lab except the one(s) in the experimental tank, die.

12. Any fish placed in the experimental tank comes back to life.

13. Any bits of scenery placed into the experimental tank quickly become twisted, deformed, and overgrown with an unknown algae.

14. Removed from the water, the algae dries up instantly, becoming a powdery dust so brittle and light-weight that it immediately becomes airborne.

15. The airborne dust, when inhaled by humans induces a powerful hallucinogenic trance-state.

16: One of the aquariums are empty in the morning, save for the fish´s young who have grown dramatically. There is no sign of the adults.

17: The dolphins of the aquarium have become depressed and frightened. One has tried jumping out of the tank onto dry land, and another is consistently banging its head against the glass.

18: All the fish avoid a particular corner of their tank.

19. Walking past a tank, out of the corner of your eye you see what appears to be a mermaid. Turning, you only see a large tail disappearing behind a rock.

20. Three days in a row, three different people attempt to drown themselves in a tank, each claiming they want to return to the ocean.

21. You can "hear" the fish of a certain tank talking to you, whispering the secrets of the aquarium staff and tourists.

22. The sharks become agitated when a particular individual nears their tanks; some go so far as to bash themselves against the glass, seemingly wanting to attack this individual.

23. Early during your tour of the aquarium you see a small nondescript fish. In each tank you view from then on you see the same fish, and each time you see it, it has additional qualities. At first it is larger, then moreso. It has three eyes, then four. Now it is the size of a small dog and it always swims to you when you approach. When you return home, the fish is in your aquarium and has eaten all your other fish.

24. An octopus is spelling out words with pebbles on the bottom of his tank. He needs his mouth washed out with soap.

25. Horseshoe crab (Polyphemus occidentalis among others) autopsies reveal an un-identifyable oily coloured metal cube at the base of the spine. When another is removed from the tank for disection the remaining specimins array themselves uniformly in the tank and stare coldly at the researcher who swears later (after some valium) that some of their tails were glowing like angler fishes lures.
Once releived of his duties the senior marine biologist assumes responsibility for the research. He is found dead the next day with puncture marks in his ankle. Obviously poisoned his veins are standing out and are an unnaturally rich colour. The only clue is the silver residue around the wound(s).

26. The water in the main tank has gotten cloudily opaque and cold. When a workman lowers a ladder into it in order to check the valves, it drops away out of sight and never hits the bottom. Later, everything returns to normal.

27. The director has a tank in a private room holding fish that fit no known standard of taxonomy, brought back fifty years ago from a tropical island no-one has been able to find since. They eat only human flesh, which he obtains through an arrangement with a local medical school.

28. All the tanks suddenly overflow. The water continues pouring until the halls are waist-deep. And the sharks are mysteriously gone from their tank.

29. The caretaker is obsessed with mermaids. He's collected every scrap of legend about them he could find. Now his mind has snapped and he's decided it's time to make one of his own, using the dolphins and one of the university tour groups as raw materials.

30. The sculptor that the aquarium hired to sculpt and design the seascape and terrrain of the huge new massive southern pacific wing has been having terrible dreams of late. As he draws upn them for inspiration, he sculpts and builds up a sunken city environment that most people feel is stunning, alien and beautiful.

But once in a while, guests see the display and go mad, some try to climb into the tank, others claim to be bale to read the glyphs that are carved into the faux ruins, and still others simply become entranced and have to be forcibly removed from the exhibit. Most often, people are last seen by the exhibit, then go missing for ever more.

Of course the artist does not know that he has tapped into a primal, and terible, alien consciousness. When an investigation eventually takes place, it may require someone to enter the massive pool to get a close up of the sculpts and artwork. Strange behavior by the aquatic animals, strangely affected aquarium guests.

It turns out that the entire thing is simply an elaborate gateway to the actual sunken city, and is a hideous design of some obscure water god...

-Thread #1 – Tropical Island

This is a thread devoted to creating a 'grab bag' of weird events to help establish creepiness in a given terrain. I welcome other people to create their own "weird events for X" terrain threads and contribute here.

I've listed recommended sanity losses for certain ones.

1. The island isn't on any maps.

2. The coconuts on the island's have blood in them. (SAN Loss 0/1)

3. The radios don't pick up any transmissions

4. The radios pick up really OLD transmissions

5. The radios contact the appropriate authorites but they say everyone is dead.

6. Mysterious noises in the jungle like animal growling

7. Some disturbingly shaped jewelry is found and ritual items.

8. (From my Lost thread) Carvings are found on a cave, and are added too each night.

9. The constellations are unrecognizable

10. During the night you swear the constellations are TALKING to you.

(SAN Loss 1/2, more if they reveal anything disturbing)

11. Shrunken heads are found somewhere on the island.

12. One of the Shrunken heads is yours (San Loss 1/2)

13. You find a strange unrecognizable footprints on the ground

14. The Footprint is Godzilla sized (San loss 1/2)

15. Cloud formations take the form of monsters

16. The cloud formations act out your companions grizzly demise and only you see it (San loss 1/2)

17. The Volcano has clearly paths to it for sacrifice. The chains for the sacrifice have fresh blood though.

18. The island's rumblings have a regular occurance...only later do you realize the island is breathing (San Loss 3/6)

All of the fish around the island are strange, unless someone makes a biology roll. Every variety of sea life around the island has been extinct for hundreds of millions of years. (San 0/1d2).

You find your OWN footprints in a place you've never been.

You swear you just saw a strange looking head pop out of the surrounding water for a second.

You hear branches and trees snapping in the thick jungle as if something were coming towards you, but when its about to burst into your view nothing happens.

An supposedly extinct volcano on the island rumbles.

Exploration of an extinct volcano on the island finds that it is hollow with <insert something here> hidden within it.

26. The island has a pirate's cove on it. The place is filled with "cursed" heathen gold.It makes the holder covetous of it.

27. The underground 'river' that supplies the character's water comes from an idol to the Great Old One's mouth and has no underground source to it. [San Loss 1/2]

28. The water contains the souls of the dead who can be seen in its reflection. [San Loss 2/4]

29. The trees on the island are routinely savaged by something Big. The problem is, no matter how new they are, you can find no trace of it.

30. The player's find pictures of previous victims and it includes their own face.
[San Loss 1/4]

31) At night, something shadowy lurks just beyond the campfire light, and can only be seen out of the corner of your eye.

32) Something leaps from tree-branch to tree-branch, shadowing your movements through the forest; if you try to look directly at it, it disappears.

33) If you hunt an animal for food, the moment you turn your back on your kill it disappears.

34) Voices from your past call out to you from the forest.

35) The trails in the forest shift and change as you walk along them. You turn to find the path blocked by trees, or a clearing where it was once impassible due to vines.

36) There is no insect life on the island. None at all.

37) One day a plague of crabs crawls from the water and starts to methodically cross the island from one side to the other, so many crabs that the crowd is literally covered by them. (This actually happens every year at Christmas Island, but for people who aren't aware of it, it could be pretty damn spooky.)

38 ) One day a particularly hideous species of toad is found squatting on the doorstep of the investigators' hut. The next moring two or three toads are found in a damp corner of the hut. The next night the investigator gets up, and puts their bare feet down to a floor that moves - when they recover from the shock they discover that the floor of the hut is covered in toads, and thousands of more are outside... (Inspired by the cane toad plague in Northern New South Wales.) Because the toads are poisonous, dead animals that have unwittingly eaten them turn up dead - sometimes litterally faling out of the sky, or floating belly-up beside the investigators' boat...

39) A bay or beach where sharks seem to congregate in suspiciously large numbers.

40) Lianas, bamboo and other trees that grow overnight, and which bear over-large fruits that when cut open, fester and decay obscenely quickly...

41) Mould begins to grow on everything. Bed linen, walls, books, even skin...

42) A cut which never heals and which festers in the heat. In dreams the cut grows to a size where it threatens to split the investigator open and send their entrails spilling in a steaming heap onto the group in front of their terrified eyes...

Ruined buildings are found on the island, which seem to be buildings familiar to at least one of the characters, but abandoned to the jungle for many years.

A ramshackle hut turns out to be an abandoned church. Inside on the altar is a bible. The bible turns out to contain a number of chapters that it shouldn't; the Book of Esau, The Gospel of Thaddeus, The Letter of St. Paul to the Carcosans... On close inspection, the familiar chapters are also wrong in puzzling and often disturbing ways; Noah's Ark washes up on Mount Everest, God demands that Abraham cannibalise rather than just sacrifice Isaac, David defeats Goliath by poisoning him, Christ turns water into blood.

Occasionally, when the weather is extremely clear, another island can be seen, but it is never in quite the same place.

Most of the fruit on the island is durrian; it is edible, but smells like rotten flesh when cut.

A whale beaches itself on the island and dies, rapidly rotting and spreading the stench of corruption far and wide. Any natural scientist present knows that whale beachings are all but unknown in this area.

There is something in the sandy beaches. Either something small and sharp that burrows up through a person's boot into their body, giant Dhole-like creatures who can stand water or perhaps the sand covers the body of a great, heaving shoggoth who gets awoken if the investigators tread over it during the day.

The interior of the island is filled with giant slabs of rock, many of them with one side inexplicably carved flat.

In the center of the island is a hole that drops straight down.

The voices of children, their words elongated, the syllables strange, echo around any camp fires that the PCs make.

A ship is seen randomly sailing around one of the sides.

A rusted out tank, car or plane can be found. It appears to have been cut in half (or in the case of the tank, perhaps torn in half would be

- Every few days, on a specific location on the beach, waves of dead fish are washed ashore. They're dead before they're beached, though for no apparent reason- Ocassionally large sharks and dolphins are found, too.

-One day, an ancient ship beaches itself on the island - It's obviously a very old make of ship, but not worn by age like it should be, nor is it even in the right ocean (Vikings in the pacific, for example). There's no crew aboard, though everything else is relatively intact (There's still fresh food in the mess, even).

-Observant investigators who keep track of the stars will start to notice that their positions in the sky changes drastically from night to night, as though the island is moving.

- A Douglas DC2 Sky Chief is found crashed in the center of the island. Foliage is draped around the outside of the aircraft and vines choke the engines, but the aircraft itself appears to have sustained little damage. Inside the aircraft is in mint condition, but there are no bodies. The windscreens are still intact but the instrumentation appear to have been deliberately smashed. The radio is more or less intact, and the players can repair it with little effort, but when they do all the can get are old radio signals from the 1930's. If they persist in trying to get an outside signal they will eventually hear a Hearst Wire News Service report about the unexpected loss of a Royal Dutch Airlines flight, the investigators are listed as among the missing and presumed dead.

Try reading, dumbass.

- A series of Quonset Huts, decrepit with age and ruined almost beyond habitation, are found in a small clearing. Within each of them lies broken furniture, tattered clothing, dark brown stains that could only be dried blood, shell casings litter the floor and claw marks can be found scattered about the place. It's obvious that a fierce battle was fought here but there's no evidence of any bodies or survivors. On the top of an overturned table is a single word, Croatoan, written in blood. (San Loss 0/1)

- In a shaded grotto near a shallow pool lies an ancient stone altar. Atop the altar is an idol carved of a strange obsidian stone. The altar is of a great warrior wearing a feathered headdress and bedecked in the regalia of the local natives. The most interesting aspect of the statue however, is the fact that it bears a striking likeness to one of the investigators, right down to any birthmarks and tattoos he or she may have. (San Loss 0/1d3)

Investigators stumble across natives of the island standing at the shoreline in a trance late at night, staring out over the ocean and chanting under their breath.

Several nights later, one of the investigators wakes to find himself on the beach staring out into the distance among the seemingly hypnotized natives.

Thread #6: The Farm

A farmhouse surrounded by open spaces in the middle of the rural countryside is the ideal place for a stressed investigator to relax, don't you agree?

1. A hard-boiled egg with breakfast is the right way to start the day. Except that when these eggs are cracked open, they contain eyes rather than yolks. Or if you were playing in a modern setting it could be tied to a plan to grow replacement human organs (eyes) in chicken eggs. A next step from just harvesting animal organs for xenotransplants. There may not be any mythos involvement at all, but it could still be a really creepy investigation.

2. Farmer McGee down the road has the best bacon in the area. So good in fact, that people are willing to riot and maim or kill if it's the only way to get some.

3. A tanker truck with a sign lettered in no recognisable alphabet shows up with a work order from the local council ordering that the storage cisterns of all residences on tank water be treated with chemicals. They won't say what chemicals, but they're armed and pushy enough to physically restrain anyone who gets in their way.

4. Plants usually grow towards the sun. Every plant within sight of the house seems to be growing in that direction.

5. The nearest neighbour has a fattening shed, where pigs are force-fed for slaughter. And pig screams often do sound like human screams. They usually don't have words in them, though...

6. The animals start eating each other.

7. The farm has a colony of semi-feral cats the farmer tolerates because they kill rats. Lately, the vermin they've been leaving on the door step have been getting stranger and stranger.

8. No-one remembers planting that field of vines in the shady gully behind the far pasture. Everyone's a little surprised that it seems to be growing a crop of weird animals.

9. There's a special shed where only a very specific herd of dairy cows are milked. The fluid, and it doesn't look like anything dairy-related, is taken away in an unmarked van with smoked-glass windows by a driver who never gets out of the vehicle.

10. A decades-old photo of workmen bringing in a successful harvest shows a pyramid in the centre of the field, with bloody animal carcases suspended by ropes looped over the crown.

11: The plough often digs up small fossils or maybe old arrowheads. But what is this strange mechanism that came up? And why is it glowing...

12: Nobody ever goes near the open septic tank. The stench is dreadful. Though one of the farmhands claim to have seen something moving down there. And the cat is missing...


13: A strange species of mushroom has begun growing on the inside of the barn. Worse yet, now it is also growing on some of the pigs who live in there...

14: 2 words: Crop circles.

15: The rats are getting bigger and bigger. The cat is beginning to have deep scratches on its snout and has stopped trying to get into the hole at the far end of the stables...

16 –All the farmhands seem curiously inbred – no, on closer examination they are exactly identical in every way

17 –At night strange lights flash from the top of the feed silo and ominous groanings and howlings sound from within

18 – The apple cheeked farmers wife serves you with home cookin’ – when you open the piecrust maggots and cockroaches spill forth in a squirming mass…

19 –One animal is clearly being fattened up for a special occasion – enquiries only lead to half mumbled explanations about an “offerin’”

20 – The blowsy overdeveloped daughter in the thin, worn out cotton dress has a strange scar, birthmark or appendage somewhere on her body

21- The wheat in one field dies overnight –the entire hundred acres is replaced by a strange red mould heaped and clumped in bizarre shapes, metres thick…

22- At lambing time all the lambs are born with two heads…

23- All the farm dogs prowl menacingly before one specific outbuilding...any attempt to enter is met with a savage, almost, rabid attack by the pack…

24- In one stable the horses simultaneously smash their heads against the stall walls, until they have dashed their brains out, and collapse kicking and screaming as they die…

25- One of the stable hands takes a sickle and blinds all the horses in the stable with it (“Why me?”)

26- The farmer orders a small humped, wooded feature in a field to be ploughed under…it is found to be a Stone Age Long Barrow, whose occupants resent being disturbed (or red Indian burial site for our American readers…)

27- One morning the hex sign on the barn is found to have spontaneously combusted, scarring a strange unknown symbol into the woodwork…then things begin to get weird.

28- The farm is suddenly overrun with snakes –thousands of them forming a writhing carpet of serpents which covers the entire farmyard…

29- An old woman who lives in a cottage in nearby woods asks for a handout at the Farm gate one day. She is refused, and stalks off muttering in a strange archaic language. Within days the butter will not churn, the prize pig dies, the hens will not lay and the farm is infested with fleas as big as beetles. One of the farm hands suggests, “swimming the witch, then having us a burning…”

30- All the children on the farm begin to make identical straw dollies and talk about “He who walks behind the rows…”

-10 tapes found in the Occult Underground; some are still circulating. Some have the keys to ancient secrets. Some are Beta-Max.

Ten tapes found, over the course of fifteen years, in various hidey-holes of the OU.

1.) "The Knife Fight" -- security camera tape from the Fox Hills Mall, Culver City, CA. Seen from above and behind all six people involved, the incident took place in May, 2000, after closing hours, on Memorial Day. Six combatants had a six-way knife fight which lasted over an hour (63 minutes, 11 seconds); the choreography involved was almost surreal, provided such choreography was actually involved. No blood was drawn until the end of the 64th minute mark, when the first one to enter the 'scene' flipped the blade across four throats and landed the blade into the sternum of the fifth. No one was monitoring the cameras that night, and thusly, no arrests were made. None of the combatants involved had faces until they fell to the floor, dead -- they were exact duplicates of each other, except the last man standing has an eye patch.

2.) "Dixie's Trux Stoppe" -- Chicago, IL. truck stop's camera, overlooking the parking lot where the long-haulers stop their rigs to buy breakfast, speed and local working girls. A truck labelled 'S & J Hauling' pulls up, roughly four minutes to midnight, October 30th, 1997, and the driver dismounts, checks the rig, and unlocks the rear door to the trailer he's hauling. Three minutes later, and a dozen men dressed in SCUBA diving suits fall to the ground on the top of the rig, and crawl into the back; all evidence points to them arriving from above the rig. They seemed to fall from somewhere out of frame, but some witnesses who wander into the camera's range of video are seen looking to the distant overhead skies, and looking around in confusion. Five minutes after the divers arrival, the driver enters the rig, and departs.

Oh man, this seems to be universal for all hospitals. Hospital messenger here from Finland - the one I'm working in is undergoing some repairs, so floors 3, 4 and 6 of the so called ''old-side'' of the building are off-limits and the wards moved temporary to different sides of the building.
This doesn't mean I don't have to go through them from time to time to get something from those floors' supply rooms or something similar... And because the air-vents are without covers, you can almost always hear echoes from the surrounding floors, occasional laughter, sound of people talking and just air, flowing forth.
I hate it there. There's also this thin plastic everywhere, hanging from the ceiling, rustling, just as you are opening one of the cupboards.
Few weeks ago? Some fuck decided it was a good idea to put a medical mannequin to the middle of the hallway, right when you get off the elevator.

3.) "The Taser Incident" -- Los Alamos, NM. New Year's Eve, 1993. Cashier working at a register for a Quick-E-Mart stops his crossword puzzle at approximately 9 PM, and opens his lunch bag, removing a taser. The taser is then used on the next forteen people who enter. The tape skips forward briefly, to show the cashier is having a tea party, with the store closed up, and the cash drawer slowly smoldering, cash still inside it. The fourteen customers are lashed to a park bench, dragged in from outside, and are being force-fed ice cream and what can only be assumed to be the cashier's blood and fingers, in joint-sized sections. At the end of the four hour ordeal, the cashier departs, dropping a sheaf of papers from under the counter. On all of them is the single word: "SLEEPLESSNESS". He departs without his fingertips, but the door's lock is visibly moved into a 'locked' position by the man. How he does it without fingers isn't defined exactly.

4.) "Hang-Gliding 101" -- New York City, NY. Atop the Empire State Building, a man on the afternoon of September 11th, 2003, jumped from the observation deck wearing a hand-made hang-glider. Deploying the wings before security can stop his noon-time suicide, they scream (soundlessly; no audio) as he leaps from the building. All involved parties look over the roof, and then sharply look to their right, seeing something approaching. Seconds later, five men wearing similar hang-gliders fly through the deck's safety screens, kicking wildly at anyone nearby, before flying back off the building. The attack takes less than five seconds. It is not, as far as documentation, repeated.

5.) "Baby Carriage" -- Detroit, MI. Crosswalk-mounted street camera, circa 2002, July 8th, 4PM. A woman with a large, rather outdated, baby carriage abruptly stops pushing it, while trying to beat a crosswalk light, abandoning the contents and carriage in one shot. Moments later, a Chevy Suburban hits the carriage and is nearly flipped completely over it by the impact. Estimated speed of the Suburban is approximately ninety five miles per hour. The carriage then rolls away, unattended, past the camera's view, dismaying onlookers even further than the Suburban's crash.

6.) "Bullet Catching Biker" -- Interstate 5, WA, near Everett. Dashboard-mounted camera for a police cruiser; the digital camera has a fairly wide angle and some sounds are audible. The tape begins with a standard-issue traffic stop for a rather tall biker, wearing a red leather jacket and knee boots with spurs. Abruptly, the biker becomes audibly hostile, and falls to the ground, clutching his chest. The state trooper leans over the body, weapon ready but not yet drawn. CPR is administered while the officer calls in backup and medical support; before the arrival of the backup, the biker stands up when the officer is momentarily distracted by traffic, and withdraws a hunting knife, and advances menacingly. The officer spins on his heel, and fires eight shots in three seconds. The biker makes a fast strike outwards with his left hand, slowly opening it afterwards, with all eight rounds clearly visible and relatively undeformed. The cop then runs into oncoming traffic, with an accompanyingly loud 'splat' sound. The biker departs with no further odd activity.

7.) "Traffic Runner" -- Compton, CA. Undated tape evidence, misfiled as a stolen VCR cleaning tape. During a videotaped gang initiation, a young black man (identified on the tape as 'Vasa') is asked to show his loyalty to the gang by shooting a man selling oranges at an off-ramp. After several minutes of discussion as to the methodology, the gunman jumps from the driver's side of the Toyota Tercel, cameraman trailing him. The man selling oranges is shot to death, and the gunman then turns on the cameraman, shakily discharging another round. The camera then drops, but shows the gunman fleeing on foot, through traffic, and at four different points, jumping onto the hoods of moving cars, nimbly avoiding the Tercel's other gunners. Tape ends abruptly (possibly run over).

8.) "Money Bomb" -- Grand Island, NE. AAt a CitiBank security camera, there are five people in the bank (as customers) and twice that as cashiers and support staff. During the lunchbreak (roughly 11:300 AM, June 19th, 1992) two figures (tape is heavily blurred; some assume video trickery is involved), and threaten the staff and clients with long-handled shovels. No money is removed, but wallets are collected; all the contents are poured into a wastepaper basket, and then hurled into the vault's open door. Seconds later, all the money in the vault abruptly flies outwards, blowing out the windows of the bank, shattering the lense to the camera. No damage is done beyond some minor cuts and the robbers escape in the intense confusion.

9.) "Ghost Fight" -- New Delhi, India. During the filming of a wedding ceremony on Ghandi's birthday (October 2nd, 1990), strange ghost-like apparition of American Southwest Indians and some sort of law enforcement officials appear, during the initial speech. The camera operator is speechless, left mute, for the duration of the three hour proceedings. During this time, the ghosts of what can be assumed to be American Indians and Old West sheriffs plays out eight times, in sequence. The fight begins with rifle fire exchanged from behind guests (who don't seem to notice the spirits) and ends with a pitched pistol battle, crossing repeatedly in front of the camera. It ends with a tomahawk to the temple of the last remaining lawman, who is abruptly scalped, but is still alive, feebly crawling away. Tape ends with the battery dying on the camera.


10.) "Homeless Dance Number" -- location unknown, time/date unknown. The camera's operator is clearly audible, as is some sort of strange, haunting music (some claim it is Beethoven played backwards). The dialogue is repeated below, with the view in brackets.

<camera shakes slightly, as a tripod(?) is deployed, for steadying purposes>
".. set up yet?"
"Yeah, we're good. How many tonight?"
<pause as the camera skips forward a moment, the tripod moved to a window, looking to a broad parking lot, ringed in what appear to be shopping carts>
".. two, maybe three hundred. More than last time. Way more."
"They gonna do it?"
<a cigarette is passed in front of the camera, to the operator>
<drag is inhaled>
"Yeah."
<voice is heard off-screen>

"Chips and dips are here. We got beer?"
"We gots the beer, pretty lady. You wanna watch them?"
<pause, something muttered>
"They're weird, yeah. But, it is kind of cool."
<someone says something, spoken rapidly, hushed tones>
"What?"
"... starting. Look!"
<camera focus goes out for a moment, zooming into the parking lot below; all the lights in the room are turned off, and all voices go silent>
"... I think it'll be better than last time. There's, like, way more than before."
<something below moves, shadows flickering>
"Cue the lights."
<someone snickers off-camera>
"Dude. This is so cool."
"Shut up."
"... ay."
<in the parking lot below, three hundred or more homeless and vagrant-types are gathering into a rough circle, as the music continues to warble from somewhere off-screen>
<camera shakes; an apology is muttered>
"Shh!"
<camera shakes again; the picture is now in focus: in the parking lot below, the homeless have paired off in what could be described as the beginning of a massive square-dance. Within minutes, it evolves into a full-scale ballroom dance, then a foxtrot, then a minuet, a swing-dance competition and a flamenco-style dance>
<during the dances below, questions are raised as to the style in use; answers are provided from one of five different people in the room with the camera>
>music fades<

"They're done?"
"Yeah. They usually do a few others, but they haven't done that.. what was it? Spanish one."
"Flamenco."
"Yeah. That's new."
"Been watching long?"
"Yeah. When it was two of them, doing a ballroom-thing."
"When was that?"
"Two weeks ago. Every other night, they get together, and do this."
"Ever wanted to catch them at it, like down in the parking lot?"
"No."
"How come? You afraid they'll give you homeless diseases?"
"No."
<camera shakes; sounds of someone being slapped twice -- not for damage, more for effect>
"What did you say it was?"
<female voice, chuckling>
"Dude. What the hell is with the slappin' and all?"
"You had it comin'. We don't break their parties up. No."
<muttered commentary off-screen>
<the homeless have departed, scattering quietly>
"What was that?"
"I said it's 'mysterious and reassuring'. That's what we call it."
<tape ends>

-iI the science fiction community there is a group of writers who are actually aliens. You know who they are, spewing out that hard-sf all about enlightened alien races. Their mission is to convince us that aliens are a good thing...Enlightened forms of life awaiting peaceful contact and to lead us to the stars. Their only opposition has been a group of hollywood execs who insist "the evil alien invaders getting there asses kicked is good bank". I guess Hollywood isn't all bad.

-A mysterious serial killer is visiting hospitals the world over, painlessly ending the lives of the terminally ill.

The story is always the same, regardless from where in the world it comes. A tall, bulky man (though some say it's really a woman) in a white immaculate business suit is observed at a hospital, going into or coming out of the rooms of patients in comas, braindead or riddled with cancer, just as if he had every right to do so. Nobody ever checks on what he is doing. The patient visited will always be found dead by the next person entering the room; there is no discernible cause of death (even in such cases when the illness could be the source of death, evidence that it actually was is lacking), and the deceased always look as if they died happily in their sleep.

Reports of the Angel of Death, as the man has been dubbed, have come from all continents.

-Hopscotch is a remnant of qabbalistic teaching, much as Ring Around the Rosie is a memory of the Black Death. Children jump from square to square, climbing up the truncated Tree of Life design they've drawn on the sidwalk, rising from the mundane to the divine. Then they travel back down. This is the essence of initiatory traditions: leaving the world behind to commune with the Godhead, then bringing the wisdom back to the world when you return. How much more clear can it be?

-There's a kid in South China who talks to demons via the internet. If you give him a new computer system, twice as good as the one he last had, he'll give you one of their e-mail addresses. This gets expensive fast, but luckily the more powerful systems go down in price fast too.

-There is a man in Southern California who, when he listens to music, everything around him falls into sync with the beat of the music. And by everything, I mean everything.

-I saw someone raid the storeroom at Radio Shack last night, after his boss left at 9. He said he was rummaging for materials that he can use to prevent the fountain from spitting up goat’s blood again.

-Crystals...Bloody Crystals
Crystals...a load of bollocks, as you well know. Cute, but no real power, and a total waste of time. At least, that’s what we thought until the shop exploded.
It was one of those oh so tacky little places that sold crystals, tarot cards and incense sticks to ageing hippies at inflated prices, alongside badly made resin models of busty barbarian princesses...
Last Sunday morning it was reduced to a tattered ruin as every single crystal in the shop launched itself, pointy end first, away from the centre of the building. I've looked at the damn thing, and it's like Swiss cheese. I'm surprised the its still standing....
Apparently the shop clerks disappeared, and recently we've been getting reports of a man with "diamonds for eyes" wandering the old city at night.
Looks like its time to read Beowulf again. There’s a new Grendel in town.

-If you collect enough coins produced in the same year, by the same mint, to pay for an international phone call, and feed them into a payphone also produced that same year, your call will be connected to the number you dialed on the same month, day, and hour, but in the year you selected. Talk quick, the phone burns-out in less than a minute, and some explode.

-Trap someone's breath between two mirrors, one backed with mercury, the other with silver. Until the mirrors are parted, or the mercury wears off, that person's words can be dimly sensed by placing the silver-backed mirror to your forehead. If you speak while the mercury-backed side rests under your chin the person whose breath is contained will hear you faintly.

-Certain bodiless spirits can perceive the material world through only one segment of the visual spectrum. Different orders of these spirits see through different colors. Persons dressed in the color a spirit can see attract their special attention, while those dressed in black avoid their notice all-together. This explains much about religious garb, but what's Johnny Cash trying to avoid?


-Just why is the relationship between America and Britan so strong?

In Alexandria, there used to stand a pair of columns, put up in 1600 B.C.E. One fell down, and eventually ended up in London.

It's brother, which stood in place well into the 19th Century, was given to the Free Masons of New York, who re-erected it in New York City's Central Park, making a Masonic event of it.

The year Cleopatra's Needle was re-errected was 1881, a palendrome: two columns on the flanks, with a pair of upright "infinities" in the center. Thus was the "special relationship" between America and England forged. The two cities are mystically joined, proxies of each other.

-"The Lord Of The Flies" wasn't written as a children's novel, or a treatise on ethics, or any of that shit. It's an analogy of the future and our past. We're all the cosmic debris from a crashed airliner and we're splitting into two groups; the technocrats and the savages. You really don't want to know what Piggy symbolises - or who the rescuing officer is at the end.

-There's a secret language that all animals share. You can take courses in it at the local college, if you know who to ask to get registered, but the homework is a bitch.

-There's a book that was written in the dark ages that contains 101 rituals of mystick significance and details of ancient horrors trapped away. The roleplaying industry is based around a cabal that found this book and has been attempting to get the rituals out into the public eye, but they split years ago and now compete with each other.

-Everybody in the occult underground will, with appropriate prompting, tell you about their surefire method for winning the lottery (though, of course, they won't explain how it works). So why aren't they rich?

The truth is, the real magick that the lottery provides has nothing to do with winning the jackpot, it's about the magick of the numbers themselves.

The lottery gives you a three digit number and a four digit number each day, right? What else has seven digits split into three, then four? That's right, it's a phone number. The lottery is a telephone oracle. Whoever is on the end of the line when you call that number knows something that you need to know, though sometimes getting the prophecy out of them can be difficult. It helps if you have a winning ticket, I believe.

If you watch every State of the Union Adress since it's been filmed and available on tape, you'll see that halfway through--exactly halfway through--the President always says the same word. Most say it under their breath during the standing ovations, but some are forced to work it into the speech itself.

What's the word? You don't want to know.

-There's this black cat with a white 'mask' round its eyes that's always at my bedroom window every night and won't go away until I give him a bowl of cream. But I live on the freakin' eighth story and the fire escape is by the living room window!

-You ever noticed about Japanese music? Y'know, them cartoons they have and everything - the CDs they sell out there? It's all rock metal. You ever notice that? And synthesisers. When was the last time you ever saw a synthesiser being used? And that other music... J-Pop, whatever they call it - it's really backwards. It's more like Blondie on helium than anything nowadays.

And that's the whole point; it's at least twenty years out of date. That's the deal, man, Japan isn't part of this world. The guy I used to work with in the Florida Mall; he used to be in the Navy - worked out of Okinawa - and he said that back in the 70s something happened that made Japan *stick*. That's how he put it.
Oh sure, your watch still works and everything, but them people are still living in the 1980s.

But here's the kicker. If they were making all that electronic wizardry back in the 80s... then what would they be building if they get put back into the real time?

-Burger King's been hiring some guy out in Wyoming as a 'security consultant'. He's been on their pay-roll since '86. That's eighteen-eighty-six.

A certain chinese vase contains the spirit of Ghengis Khan. The warrior spirit contained in the vase causes it to materialise in the nearby location of certain fights between good guys and bad guys. Unfortunatly, the vase is always humorously almost knocked over by the bad guys, forcing the good guy to play a strange game of trying to keep the vase from breaking. the hero does this because they know that if the spirit is ever released, it will punish the world for continually using it as a comic prop.

In the countryside, every orchard has a man with a assault rifle guarding it. It's his job to keep menstruating or pregnant women from coming within sight of the orchard or all the fruits there goes sour and rotten... vegetables prefer growing for women more than men though.

After coming from a funeral, dont ask the owners to sprinkle you with clear water. Take off all your clothes while under the roof and sleep there for the night. Within seven days the house you visited will be haunted by the spirit of the person whose funeral you attended.

What you know: A Filipino invented the flourescent light bulb and the Moon Rover used for the Lunar landings. What you heard: His last invention was a coffee machine that every astronaut in the world today is terrified to leave Earth without. It was pattented in 2009.

-When you live in a bright place, you get used to light, and it starts affecting you less. When you live in a dark place, you get used to dark, and it starts affecting you less. When you live in a violent place, youn get used to violence, and it starts affecting you less.

And when you skydive enough, you get used to gravity, and it starts affecting you less.

This is nowhere near as pleasant as it sounds.

-Halloween Hodown. Because you can't spell "Halloween" without "fnord."

The 666th frame of every Halloween-themed movie, cartoon, or TV special depicts a basement with a corpse moldering in the corner; these frames are often removed from the final film, but one can find them on occasion. There's a Videomancer who collects them and puts them in order based on the age of the film they're from. He says the corpse is obviously moving from frame to frame.

"Fun size" candy is made to proportions found in occult theorum; f'rex, a fun-size Snickers bar has the exact mass of the alchemical formula for a universal acid. It's all a matter of substituting one substance for the other.

Here's a ritual I heard about: Go out and trick-or-treat. Count up how many calories are in the things you get (yes, that includes stickers, toothbrushes, or those dumbass Jack Trick anti-Halloween comics) and keep the tally on a sheet of graphite paper. In about 30 minutes or less, eat all the stuff you've picked up (yes, that includes stickers, toothbrushes, or said stupid comics). When the 30 minutes is up, if you've got the calculations right (to the nearest 100 calories) and ate fast enough, you'll vomit up nuggets of gold, one gram per 100 calories.

Every transaction you pay for by card is collected on a database. There are people who read this daily, and laugh about what you purchase. They also do their best to construct an amalgamation of everything you buy in order to test the theory that "You are What You Buy". These purchase-created people are slowly replacing the originals.

- The government orchestrated the whole wire-tapping scandal to distract America from the fact that every single citizen has an invisible ghost made entirely of eyes floating directly behind them right now. The spell only works on people who are actual citizens, though, hence the recent illegal immigration debacle.

A few elite dentists keep the fragments of anything they extract and sometimes trade certain specimens for ritual purposes. These rituals can make the caster stronger, tougher, faster, smarter, or more spiritually powerful. Why do you think they're always saying you should get your wisdom teeth pulled?

-Every "disorder" and "syndrome" doctors have mentioned since the 70s is actually just the effect of a sort of broad-band mind control system. Rather than take over the world, the people who control this machine decided to make gobs of money off of it. The pills for various problems block the influence of the mind control transmitter, but only for a short time. An unintended plus is that the right dose of Ritalin will make you immune to hypnosis.

Oh man, throw away those coupons. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's no such thing as a thirty-percent-free lunch. They just take it from you... in other ways... Same goes for sale items. Believe me, buying that stuff just lets them get you, strips away your protections. Why do you think poor people buy stuff on sale, but stay poor? Now, if you wanna get the deal you can't resist, make sure you negotiate it yourself, in person. You see a deal you like, take the coupon to a different retailer, force 'em to honor it. Or go to the original place, but leave the coupon at home, and then argue with them that everyone in the damn city got the flier, so why not give you the deal without the coupon? As long as you negotiate for the sale price, you've earned your discount and they can't exploit you - that's why the retailers get so irritated when you try it.

There are seven words in every Gideon's Bible - y'know, the one they stuff in every hotel room - that can't be found in any other bible. If you repeat those seven words to yourself while grasping the doorknob to your room, the door will open to any hotel room in the world. Of course, if you want to control where you're going, you'll need to know the Gideon's Key - one more inserted word, unique to each copy, that acts as an index for each room.

The last battle will be fought between kudzu and melaleuca - the two plant species that seek to cover the earth at the expense of all life. They both have a sinister intelligence incoherent to our understanding, and they are in constant competition. Humanity's only hope is to play them against each other. Kudzu's winning right now - that's why there's been such a glut of melaleuca tea-tree oil products in response.

God created man. Noah built a boat. Jesus was a carpenter. Making things is sacred. Emeril L agasse is likely the world's most famous chef. The rapture is coming, and we are doomed to drown in garlic, wine and our own inanity.

-The "infographic" on the front page of USA Today. Ever notice how you're just... drawn to look at it? Once you do, you'll be oblivious to the paranormal until the next day's paper arrives. Luckily, once you know about it, the infographic won't affect you... so you're okay now. By the way, the same message of attraction, suggestion and repression is embedded in every Garfield comic strip. I mean, how else is that thing still around?

Y'know how KFC isn't Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore... just KFC? The Knowledge Flayers Council bought out the chain and changed the name so they could apply their sympathetic magic, and now every one of those joints is an altar attuned to their cause... while the unsuspecting masses worship. Of course, before they could do it, they had to kill off the Colonel first... and at two hundred and fifty years old, he must have had a couple tricks up his sleeve. But they got him, and to the victor goes the spoils.
There's a hougan in Fairbanks - hell of a taxidermist - bit of a joker too. His work is real life-like, but don't piss him off. Ninety percent of the nocturnal animal break-ins in Fairbanks are stuffed bears, breaking out.

Hey, scary dudes!

Got anything for creepy carnivals?

-Who is the man in the box?

A man (or woman, depending on the tale-teller) is rumoured to be living at the poles. He spends approximately six months at the Antarctic pole, then six at the Arctic pole. To get from one to the other he is transported in a private cargo plane, re-fuelled in flight by a 'military' fuel transport. The man himself is transported in a matte black box made from hardened plastic and a seamless fiberglass shell. This box is guarded by a mixed UN force of a dozen soldiers from all over the world. When they arrive at the destination pole, they leave the box on the permafrost and quickly evacuate the area.

Some claim that the man is performing some sort of ritual that requires the almost nonexistent amount of sunlight during the polar nights. This ritual, they say, will plunge the world into eternal night once it is complete.

Others believe that this man is the only thing standing between our civilisation and a catastrophic pole shift which will wipe most forms of higher life from the planet.

Some claim that he's Dracula. But they're foolish, as most of the occult underground is in agreement that Dracula died on August 14, 1969 on a farm in New York state.

-There's this weirdo who hangs out at the gas station where I work overnights and he says the damnedest things...

Hey, did you hear that Elton John is going to rewrite the lyrics to another one of his songs when Elizabeth II finally kicks it (you know, like he did with Candle in the Wind). My money says it's either going to be Crocodile Rock or Rocket Man.

Those zombie slasher movies have almost nothing to do with Voodoo...they do have an awful close similarity to certain Native American myths about the Wendigo (a spirit that possesses its victims and causes them to hunger for the flesh of their fellow humans). No coincidence that the maker of the best zombie movies, George Romero, set his movies in the American Upper Midwest, where the Wendigo legend has its home....

-You ever seen someone die on camera?

A snuff film is a recording of the actual murder of human being that is subsequently passed around for entertainment purposes. Suicides and accidents don't count. According to the MPAA, the FCC, the FBI and the ever-lovin' Snopes.com, there's no such thing as a snuff film. Yes, this includes Faces of Death Anything you think might count is faked, falsified, or not made for that purpose, such as those tasteless videos you find on shock sites.

This is a lie.

There are, as best as anyone can tell, between 30-40 snuff films floating around out there. The earliest is a silent film on decaying nitrate celluloid, simply titled La mort d'une fille, and bears the date of 1896.

The latest, judging by the hairstyles and the presence of a "Frankie Says Relax" t-shirt, was probably made in 1983 or 1984 and is on Betamax.

The films vary in violence, but they all include seemingly ritualized sex, followed by the slaying of a girl with dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes who appears to be around 19 years old.

That's right...every film has the exact same girl in it.

-They say the gods of old are gone but I heard they just changed. Their stories are told in modern mediums. If you want to know who these gods are, America celebrates them every year, on Thanksgiving day.

-Stoplights are alive...and they carry grudges...

You ever notice there are some stoplights that seem to know you're there? They always seem to respond a bit quicker, move traffic a bit faster, and none of them have one of those control boxes nearby.

Now look at this: it's a map of laylines for this region, found it on the net. See where they cross intersections here, here, here, here, and here? There's one of those quick stoplights at each one.

Every other stoplight has a control box, I've checked. But wait, it gets even weirder. So the day after I put all these pieces together I'm driving back from work, right? This guy totally cuts me off and flies through the intersection a second after it turns red. I'm in my car fuming and it's like the light just won't change.

But a block ahead, I see the arrow turn red and that asshole can't make his turn. He's the only one at the light, and our signal's still not changing. But then his light turns green, and half-way through his turn a semi flies in from the right and rips right through the car! Serious, just like on Real TV!

But here's what's weird: both intersections are on the layline, and the semi's light was still green when the asshole's arrow changed.

I tell ya, I'm never running a red light again.

-Whats a state line REALLY mean?

A friend of mine was into some bad stuff, you know...stuff that you do 7-10 for. Anyway, one night he got caught and him and his friends took off. They made it to their car and started driving. After 20 minutes they made it passed the state limits just to see the other cops standing on the other side ...thats when things got weird. They officers just stood there...not taking a step. The ones chasing them stopped..right on the state line. (We figured at least) One officer tried to move forward but the others stop him looking a bit frightened. After a few hours both sides took off. weird i know, I've heard of state lines before but these cops had a look of real horror to them. After doing some research and using one of those GPS direction finder things, he found out he was inside the state lines. Which made us think. What came first...these lines or our states?

Another note of worth is after doing some testing with these lines. It seems at certain times of the night they take longer to cross...signs farther apart, driving time, etc. Maybe they grow and shrink to some kind of time measurement. If they do we haven't figure out their connection yet.

-People will say things to machines that they’d never dream of telling to a person. After all, it’s not like MessageBank is really listening...

The Lanh Thuc Demons captured a god back in the late 80s. They keep it buried at a crossroads somewhere near Oodnadatta, but every time they teleport a little bit of it escapes.

Astral parasites lay their eggs in human pineal glands. It’s one of the major causes of migranes.

There’s a town in Switzerland that’s been powered by a perpetual motion machine since 1534. I think its name was something like Jus-Saint-Alma.

-A fistful of true words from Australia...

Mobile phone towers are only laid along ley lines. They are placed to focus and redirect the magical energies of the world (The 'phone networks are only a cover story. What you think is your friend talking to you are actually the demons that cluster around concentrated magickal energy.) Anyway, that's why the privatization of Telstra is such a big deal- imagine all that power focused on one corporation or CEO.

There are hidden messages in the patterns of bus seats.

If you're walking through the Rocks in Sydney barefoot as dawn breaks on Australia Day, you'll go back in time. Problem is, being a convict in 19th century Sydney is pretty dull and there's no way back.

You can learn the lingo of trees and street lights. But they're rude bastards and don't talk back without payment. What they want, now that's the hard part.

Public transports are alive, and feast on each other. That's why buses thrive in Brisbane and are weak, half-rusted things in Sydney where trains dominate. Beware trams- only the fiercest survived the purges until the '70s, and fled to Melbourne where none will touch them.

The Great Court of the University of Queensland is a mirror for the city's health. If ever the grass vanishes entirely, Brisbane will fall. It's like the Tower of London, but without the ravens.

-Those at the top of the occult heap have come to some pretty big conclusions on their way up there. Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re any more reliable.

Of course the moon landings were faked. The moon is alive, asleep and dreaming the Earth. We wouldn’t dare try to go there, in case we wake it up.

There really were giants in the earth in those days. The Behemoth, Kraken, Leviathan and so on were all swimming the seas even after we massacred the dragons and the jotun. Moby Dick was the last nail in the coffin – the symbolic killing of the Leviathan re-wrote history so we only remembered them as old stories.

Some Australian otherspaces have been growing seriously friggin’ huge by consuming other ones. Soon one of them is going to come for this world.

One of the tiny countries in west Africa, I forget which, has been ruled by an Unspeakable Servant for the past 238 years. Whenever the current ‘ruler’ needs to ‘die’, it just kills the successor, takes him over and keeps right on going.

-In winter of 1944, with overtaxed supply lines in the Ardennes, a German medic had completely run out of plasma, bandages and antiseptic. During one particularly bad round of mortar fire, his encampment suddenly became a bloodbath. The survivors claimed to hear, above the screams and barked commands of their Lieutenant, someone cackling with almost girlish glee.

The medic made his rounds during the fire, in almost complete darkness as he had so many times before, but never this short on supplies.

The bombardment moved to other ends of the line, most men dropped off to sleep in the still dark hours of the morning - New Year's Day, 1945.

The men awoke at first light with screams. They discovered that their bandages were not typical bandages at all, but hunks and strips of human flesh. Several men had been given fresh blood transfusions, with no blood supplies available. Each treated man was almost completely covered, head-to-toe, with the maroon stain of blood.

The medic was found, sitting on an ammunition tin, staring off into space. When one man approached him, tapped him on the shoulder, his tunic fell off to reveal all skin, muscle, and sinew had been stripped from his torso and his body almost completely dried of blood. In one hand was a scalpel, and in the other, a blood transfusion vial.

None of the men treated for wounds that night, in that camp, saw the end of January, 1945. A notebook containing the location of each patient's grave was last known to be in the possession of a 20-year old man named John Mann, who has lived in California for longer than anyone can remember.

-There are some things that even the Occult Underground doesn't like to think about

There's this videotape going around... no, not the one with a well. It's a shlock monster movie, but there's this guy in every scene begging you to set him free. If you watch the movie until the last scene, he gets to swap places with you.

Have you seen how angry people get over money? The only reason that we don't remember the time before money is that the Atlanteans changed our memories to better control us.

Forget crabs. Some hookers give you Astral Parasites.

Bumping this great thread.

In the medieval period, the Polish believed in something called a "polish plait", which was a lock of hair that they allowed to be encrusted with all of the filth and lice from their bodies, and never be washed. They believed that it would protect them from harm by absorbing their internal illnesses, and depositing them outside of the body.

This is common knowledge. What isn't is that there is a much easier way to imbue the evil in yourself into something that you can then cut out and throw away.

-The "Haunted House" is usually the lamest ride at the carnival. It's only occasionally good for a laugh and NEVER actually scary. Unless you are one of the few who know that at every town the carnival sets up in, one customer who goes into the house alone never comes out.
- One of the "test your strength" hammer games is run by one of the last descendants of an Aztec high priest. He uses the strength test the way his ancestors used that rubber ball hoop game - to find athletically superior people to use as sacrifices.
- No one has every won a prize off the guy who guesses your weight or age. He always knows the customer's exact weight and age. In fact (though he doesn't mention it, of course) he knows every customer's exact date of birth.
- There is an awful smell around the portable toilets. But not the one you would expect. Sometimes there are traces of blood under the seats if you look closely.
- The Tarot reader is amazingly accurate. Unfortunately, her "death" card actually means death - often before the customer who sees it leaves the carnival.

-The carnival has every right to be here; all of their permits are in order. However, if you were to ask around down at the permit office, you would find that no-one remembers anyone from the carnival actually applying for or being granted those permits - not even those officials whose signatures are on them.
-Any investigators hoping to find a string of disappearances or unexplained murders following the carnival around will be disappointed. In fact, anyone trying to find any record of the carnival before they pitched their tents here is likely to come up empty-handed.

Archieved.

In a small village in Yugoslavia, there lived a man for whom all folklore was real... As long as it was a wives' tale. A tale told to him by his wife.

In 1988, his wife was killed. We know it was violent. She died in his arms. He has not been seen since.

What do you suppose she said?

I have found this thread a good read.

Tank you for posting, good anon.

>>16561686
nothing quite like the rest of this thread, but I've got two creepypastas from /x/, with a kind of carnival theme.
I can post them if you want...

Do it.

They say "you can't take it with you". And they're sort of right. Material goods can't be taken with you.

But your body... well, you might not be so quick to sign that "organ donor" card if you learned the fate of those who enter the afterlife without an intact corpse...

...or what happens to those who end up with the donated organs as transplants later on.
