Haunted House Meme!


Haunted House Meme

Everyone knows to stay away from the large empty house on the hill. It’s haunted. But maybe you’re seeking a thrill, or maybe you’re searching for something lost or locked away. Maybe you are the ghost haunting the old building. Maybe your car has stalled, and the house on the hill is the only building for miles. But is it empty, or is there something waiting?

Leave a comment with your character's name, fandom, any preferences you have, and what brought your character to this haunted location.
Feel free to play any level of leisurely exploration of creepy buildings or intense survival horror!


The Haunted Building
1. Haunted House
2. Haunted Sanitarium
3. Haunted School
4. Haunted Mansion/Castle
5. Abandoned Island (was it plague or something worse which caused it to be abandoned?)
6. Haunted Amusement Park
7. Choose your own haunted location!

The Haunting
A. Ghosts. Creepy, tragic, and possibly violent, they’ve got unfinished business in this world and you’re the unsuspecting victims who have just become the targets for their wrath.
B. Creatures. Unearthly monsters summoned from a hell-dimension or mutations created by a mad scientist, this is their house now, and they are fascinated and hungry.
C. The People in the Walls. Someone—or several someones—have been living in this house. They’re no longer human anymore, and their sanity has been frayed to the very edge. They’ve been surviving on mice and bats until now. But now you're here, and don't you look delicious?
D. The House Itself. Maybe it was built evil, or maybe it became evil after the horrible deeds that were committed in it. The very walls of the house are soaked with blood, and the house is angry, and hungry. It has you now, and it doesn’t plan to let you out.
E. The Cabin in the Woods Experiment. None of this is natural phenomena. You don’t know it yet, but you’re part of a larger experiment. You’re the rats in the maze, and the scientists are observing—and toying with—your every move.
F. Choose your own horror movie plot!

To say Vivi was excited to be exploring another haunted house was the understatement of the century. The last one they had stumbled into had heaps of paranormal activity! Those cute purple singing ghosts, the candles that had lit themselves, the moving portraits, the mysterious skeleton ghost who had chased them through the manor, only to pause when she defended Arthur...

Of course it was probably going to be nowhere near as cool as that, but it was still worth checking out! She bobbed her head to the music in the van, watching the creepy scenery as they approached their destination. "We nearly there yet Arthur? I can't wait to see what's in store for us this time!"

Meanwhile Arthur was not looking forward to this. With all of the creepy things that happened last time, he was hoping they'd take a break. No such luck when it came to Vivi. She had found another haunted house to go to and he couldn't tell her no. He shivered as he watched the tall dead trees pass them by as they drove up toward the house.

"Y-Yeah...but I wish we weren't," He lamented. The house on the hill was almost in front of them now. He swallowed and pulled around the fountain in front of the house. He shook his head as he looked up at the creepy windows. He swore it looked like the house was a face.

"Y-You sure you really wanna go in there? I have a bad feeling about this..."

Jack crossed his arms over his chest and looked up at the ship in front of him with a frown. He honestly couldn't see what was wrong with the damn thing, it looked like any other ship in the bay. ...Well. Almost like any other ship, there was a distinct quietness about this where the others had crew bustling around them almost constantly, this one was empty. The only movement the gentle sway of her sails in the wind, no signs of life at all.

If the crews who had fled her screaming were to be believed, that was exactly the problem. The ship was unowned, nobody even wanted to claim it. Occasionally a crew tried, but they barely even started to sail out of the bay before they were practically leaping from the rigging to get away from the ghosts.

Ghosts. Jack held his share of suspicions, of course he did, what pirate didn't, but ghosts? There had to be another explanation, and he was determined to find out what it was. The ship was good, well maintained despite the lack of interest, it hadn't even suffered all that much raiding - one crew had decided to try and take the cannons once, and they'd all been returned the very next day. The whole crew refused to talk about it, much to Jack's chagrin. He'd had the same problem with every crew or pirate on the whole island who'd ever encountered the ship, they either couldn't or wouldn't tell him what they'd experienced, only that they never wanted to experience it again - decidedly unhelpful for anybody planning an attempt of their own.

"So, the crew have agreed that if we can stay on the ship overnight, they'll believe it's safe to sail in. One night and the ship's ours, I can hardly imagine it'll be that difficult." he said out loud as he heard footsteps behind him, it was probably a little sad that he recognised Vane's footsteps by sound, but he'd been trailing after the man for so long it was second nature by now.
