100 Creepy Things and Events to Encounter Outdoors

This is a series of creepy items, events and occurrences that could be found in the outdoors. Some of the encounters are best suited for urban areas, others for the countryside and some will work in both, as long as it isn't inside a 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.

Here are some sample results:

• Couple A couple can be seen some distance away from the character(s), who may be sat on a bench or standing up somewhere. From a distance, and on a second look, something appears very wrong. Initially, it looks like they are kissing; on a second glance, it appears that one of them is actually biting the other, on the face and neck, tearing pieces of flesh off and swallowing them. Should the character(s) approach them, they are seen to be simply kissing, which could cause problems if they were approached with a violent response.
• Deserted Area The character(s) are in a part of a town or city that is peculiarly deserted. The streets and buildings nearby are full of life, pedestrians and cars, but the area they are actually in has no pedestrians, no passing traffic and no cars parked on the street, despite there being plenty of parking spaces available. The buildings all seen to be unoccupied and, possibly as a consequence of the area being deserted, are also rundown.
• Dew This could also be seen after a frost. The dew on a nearby field has a wide path through it, as if something has dragged along the ground. The path left is far too wide to have been a person, and it is continuous, as if something has slithered across the grass.
