100 Creepy Things and Events to Find in a Spooky House

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is a series of items, events and occurrences that could be found in a haunted, or otherwise creepy, house. Many of them are suitable for any setting or time period, whilst a few require settings having a technology equivalent to the 19th or 20th centuries depending, as they involve technology.

Not every encounter is immediately obvious as being disturbing; some of them will require players to be paying close attention. Others stand out more noticeably. Whether or not any of the encounters have a negative effect is up to the Game Master. The various items tend more to supernatural and cosmic horror than to gory horror, but there are a few examples of the latter.

There are one hundred items which can be chosen randomly using a d100, or required ones can be chosen. They are laid out in a table, with each entry having a name of what type of encounter it is, then details of the encounter.

This PDF supports Adobe layers and the page backgrounds and images can be disabled to make printing easier.

Here are some sample results:

  • Mist - This would normally found in a room that is already damp, especially those underground like a cellar or a basement. The floor of this room is covered in a strange mist to about a foot in depth. The mist behaves oddly; it seems to be roiling by itself and, when a character walks through it, is not as disturbed by their passage as would be expected. Light sources refract oddly from it, failing to penetrate the mist.
  • Mouse/Rat - A small shape, as of a mouse or rat, is briefly spotted scuttling out of sight, perhaps through a hole in the wall. During the brief moment in which it is visible, it seems somehow misshapen; the proportions may be wrong, it may have an odd number of limbs or a tail that seems prehensile, or it may not even seem to be rat- or mouse-shaped at all if thought upon, but instead something different, such as a scuttling humanoid form.
  • Music Box - An open music box springs to life as a character passes. There is a mirror on the lid, reflecting a dancing ballerina on the top. The music, although a familiar tune, is slightly discordant and faster than normal. The reflection of the ballerina in the mirror on the box's lid, however, seems to be slightly lagging behind the movement of the actual figure it is reflecting.
  • Newspaper - This is a fairly recent local newspaper. The vast majority of it reads as normal, and a character may have already read this and will recognise it as a genuine edition. If a character looks carefully enough, they will discover a disturbing obituary - their own.
  • Painting - All the portraits in this room have had the canvas rot away, leaving the gilt frames surrounding damp, fungal looking stains on the walls. On a closer look, the patches resemble screaming faces, their mouths open in agony.

One page is the front cover, one the front matter and one is ads.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
