Haunted house

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 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!

Benedict Fox | The Last Case of Benedict Fox | OTA

[companionsgrasp]

[any scenario is good; bonus points if you wanna go with Lovecraftian vibes since that suits this boy. character info in journal. ota!]

[cawsforconcern]

[ooc: y/n for a creature companion? totally down for eldritch horrors. incidentally, never heard of this game before but man, it's going on the wishlist 👀)

[companionsgrasp]

[ yes! a raven is the least strangest creature he's ever talked to. he would be welcome for extra company. also i may be quite biased but i totally recommend the game for anyone who loves lovecraftian visuals, it's VERY pretty! if you have an xbox it should still be on game pass. but it's really beautiful on a computer. ]

[Benedict hadn't expected the place to be so big. It was more like a small castle than a house, in fact. It was only one of the unexpected surprises waiting for him on this case. The client's representative hadn't shown as promised to give him access to the building so instead Benedict found himself searching for an entrance on his own. Which turned out fine because a side door used for more discreet matters was left unlocked and he had slipped inside.

That still left him with only partial information; he had hoped to ask questions about the case upon arrival to gather more preliminary knowledge. Instead he was left to explore on his own--and yet somewhere, somehow, along the way he'd picked up a tail. He couldn't believe he was being followed by a big black bird and yet there it was. A raven. Honestly, he wasn't even going to wonder how it got into the place.

The castle creaked as he continued forward, and there was no mistaking the creepy vibe throughout the passageways. He felt as though he were going to run into more than just the bird the longer he explored. A low groan--that which could have easily been the shifting of the structure or the melancholy moan of a forsaken soul--sounded through the dark hallways. Benedict paused to check whether he could hear it again and pinpoint its origin.

After a moment of nothing, he glanced back at the curious bird and said somewhat facetiously.]

I don't suppose you have any idea what that was? No? How about a hint of which direction to go?

[It wasn't the building itself that had Matthew on edge. At the heart of the Dreaming was a castle of unparalleled grandeur, a shifting labyrinth of suites and cavernous halls, of endless libraries filled with unwritten masterpieces and dark basements housing forgotten horrors - and it was home away from home, for the raven of Dream.

He just couldn't figure out what the hell he was doing here.

His business in the waking world had been simple: a message delivered, a payment made, another nervous mortal left clutching a boon and wondering if they dared fall asleep that night. It should have been a simple journey back home, down the witherways; a turn of the head, a twist of the wing, a sliding between spaces-

Some vague sense of wrongness had kicked in around the time he found himself squeezing between a window's iron bars instead, like a warning shout so distant it was little more than a wordless exhale by the time it reached him. Then it was gone altogether, leaving him standing on dusty floors, blinking up at shrouded portraits that made him feel like a schoolboy under the stern eye of some long-dead principal. Or maybe a sparrow under a cat's.

Matthew's instincts were weird, these days. The raven ones were at least an understandable strangeness - it was hard to feel disgusted about the urge to peck at a dead thing's eyes when it came with a hunger so deep and natural it was stamped on his very definitions. The other stuff - the stuff that came with being not just a raven but a dream, and of the Dreaming, and beholden to Dream - was a lot harder to get his head around. The best guess he could make was that he was here because someone had wanted him here; and the only person who could (who should) be able to want him somewhere like this was the boss himself. So it had to be the boss, right? It had to be Dream.

What am I doing here?

Shh. Don't worry. It doesn't matter.

...Right.

He'd been so relieved to see another person, he'd thrown the usual protocols aside; wasn't exactly easy to skulk around out of sight indoors and, for whatever reason, the guy had taken one good look at him and kept right on going with barely more than a raised eyebrow. Whoever he was, the man moved like he knew what he was doing, and that was good enough for Matthew. Any second now there'd be some clue, some lighthouse in his soul beaming down mystical knowledge, and then he could say a silent sayonara to the walking vest and get out of this creepy maze of gloomy hallways and their creepy fucking noises.

Bristling and uneasy on the heels of the man, distracted by the confused tumult of his thoughts and some decidedly unpleasant groaning sounds, the unexpected questions provoked a careless response.]

What do I look like to you, the tour guide? [in the brief and ringing silence following his too-loud words, Matthew blinked; and grimaced as best as a bird could grimace; and half-raised his wings in preparation to make for higher ground as he started stepping back] ...Well, crap. Alright, don't freak out-

I'd love some kind of 'we must reach the centre of this cursed whatever for the sake of the world' scenario.

Chrissy Cunningham | Stranger Things

[bubblegumheart]

[Maybe she's the ghost haunting the house or the amusement park or the school. Maybe she's been dragged semi-willingly by friends to a haunted house or abandoned amusement park or sketchy cabin in the woods. As always, assumed CR is wonderful.]

[crisantemo]

[ she regularly deals with ghosts/demons, she was practically raised amongst them, and is also kind eldritch herself. so down for any and all scenarios, this is her thing. ]

[Down with any of the prompts!
For Twisted Wonderland muses, we can do the event that's going on right now.]

Fushiguro Megumi | JJK | OTA

[His life is a horror film, he can handle it (probably) ]

Fu Hua | Honkai Impact 3rd | OTA

[pearlofshenzhou]

[Okay with all the prompts, she will punch a ghost. They are not safe from her, she probably got dragged in for ghost hunting fun times but there's a real one.]

Aether/Abyss Prince | Genshin Impact | OTA

[stationaryviator]

[He probably tagged along with some friends who decided to investigate a paranormal location so they all don't end up dead, and is screaming on the inside considering this is just a bad idea. I'm alright with all prompts!]

[Witches are essentially mediums. It's right up his alley.]

[graveling]

[There'd been rumors about the house at the end of Hilltop Road for years. It was the sort of place kids dared one another to sneak into, but recently the rumors had taken a turn. Lights on in the attic, movement in the yard. Dogs walked past it seem to grow nervous, or in some cases aggressive.

Perhaps some witch ought to investigate.]

[witchfactor]

[There was a fine line between superstition and supernatural threats. Shawn knew about this supposedly haunted place. He had even been dared to go in there as a kid. It was just an old house, rundown and smelling funny. He hadn't thought about it in years. Until today. The rumors about actual supernatural sighting had been spread about. Coupled with the disappearance of an Innocent he had been tried to find, it seemed to be an excellent place to start. He walked in through the rotten doors and headed to the living room. Years of neglect and vandalism had left the remaining furniture in shambles. He sat down onto the floor and picked out a few things. A scrying crystal, a few candles, a book to make notes in and his trusted Book of Shadows. He set up a small ritual area and waited.]

1F, roll with me~

[the_cupbearer]

"I know, I know it's not October yet but it's just a Saturday."

A Saturday in early September that had dawned cool and drizzly, perfect weather for a warm coffee and a day spent pretending it was fall. Ganymede had even made coffee for them both before suggesting they take a drive--anywhere, in or out of the city, so long as they were together and they'd ever been there before. The huge old abandoned house, half grown over with vines and lichen seemed like something worth investigating to Ganymede, which is why they'd stopped.

"What do you think, go in or not?"

Re: 1F, roll with me~

[professionalriot]

"It's not just a Saturday." He says with a lazy smile. "It's a Saturday with you."

There was a huge difference. A Saturday alone was very different from a Saturday spent exploring with his love. He loved that when he said let's just drive Ganymede said yes. He didn't have to beg for it.

Ash leaned forward over the steering wheel and looked over at the house.

"Yeah. I think we go in. Really cool architecture. Very Gatsby."
