 Maybe you're part of one of those big paranormal research societies that have their own TV show, top of the line equipment, and everything. Maybe you're an aspiring director who's noticed the boom of paranormal TV shows lately and decided to cash in the time is right for your art. Or maybe you and your friends just decided that messing around in someplace that's supposed to be haunted sounded like a fun way to spend an evening, especially when there may or may not be beer involved. Whatever the reason may be, you've decided to go

GHOST HUNTING




Choose your haunting, or let he RNG pick for you:

1. Setting Up: You're on location, and the locals have told you about the place's super creepy history and why it's definitely haunted. It's time to start unpacking your gear and encountering some ghosts. You just noticed that the clouds in the sky are forming an X over the location - just like the electrical tape X's you used to mark locations for your infrared cameras! - so you know you're going to get a lot of activity tonight.

2. YOU GUYS WHAT WAS THAT NOISE: There's no way that was just the building settling, and wind definitely doesn't make a sound like that! Clearly, something paranormal is afoot (a spooky, disembodied foot) here.

3. Era Cues: One of the best ways to draw out ghosts is through the use of stimuli from the era in which they died - so put on some oldschool jazz, light up a cigar, and start cooking some down-home southern cuisine. It's for science!

4. EVP Time: Your completely uncalibrated EMF detector just started spiking, and you may or may not have felt a cold breeze just now, so the spirits must be with you! Switch on that tape recorder and start asking them some questions, and maybe you'll be able to pick their responses out of the background noise (what is "pareidolia," anyway?)

5. Motion Detector Mayhem: The device you bought to make a horrific racket if anything moves is making a horrific racket, and what could possibly move in an empty, dark room where your teammates totally haven't been except for a ghost? You haven't even seen any huge moths since you began this investigation, so it has to be something paranormal!

6. COME AT ME BRO: Provoking the ghosts is a really good idea. Shouting and posturing at the air like a tough guy makes you look cool, and it's always the best way to-- oh god, did something just scratch you?!

7. The Infrared Camera Just Caught Something: Or maybe it was the ultraviolet camera, or hell, maybe even the regular old visible light camera. Either way, it definitely wasn't one of your teammates sneaking off to take a leak or a smoke without telling anyone else like it was the last four times, because everyone is finally present and accounted for. Which leaves only one thing it could be...

8. That Object Just Moved!: Despite the fact that you finally wised up and placed the trigger object far away from anything that you could trip over or hit with your camera, it just fell over. And that piece of concrete that just landed next to your foot? It totally didn't come from the ceiling - it had to have been thrown by something.

9. Possession: Suddenly, one of your teammates can't quite seem to remember his last name, and is talking about how he'll "scuttle your legs" - or maybe he's talking about how this place fills him with demonic rage, or just acting dumber than usual. Either way, he's obviously been possessed by an entity!

10. Other/Pick One: Choose your own haunting.

The night was going so-so. It wasn't that Ronan thought the whole idea was a load of bull like other people might (he'd been witness to things weirder and more frightening than ghosts), but nothing was happening and it was enough to make him angry. He frowned down at the recorder in his hands that was meant to capture EVPs like it held the answers to his questions. It didn't. It didn't seem to be holding much of anything, actually, except the voices of two very much alive people. Either this place wasn't really haunted or-

"Maybe the ghosts are cowards," he said out loud, looking up. "Too pathetic to do anything to even prove that they're here. I'd like to see them try to do something to scare us."

For a moment, nothing happened. Then what felt like fingernails or something sharper dragged down the back of his neck, just above the hooks and claws of the tattoo that covered his back, concealed by his black muscle tee. He flinched, immediately regretted it, and turned an accusing look to his companion.

"Shit. Cut it out, man," he said. As if Prompto was the one who'd touched him instead of a ghost.

He'd only known the other guy a few weeks, so Ronan wasn't entirely sure if Prompto would try to pull his leg or not. There were a few things he was sure of though; that Prompto was easier on the eyes than any single guy had the right to be, and that he was the sort of bubbly and happy (usually) that reminded Ronan of Matthew, his younger brother.

He was also pretty sure this abandoned inn was creepier than it had any right to be, but he wasn't about to admit to that out loud. 'Ronan Lynch' and 'coward' never went in the same sentence. He reserved his fear for far worse things, like the shit that resided in his head. Those things could (and had) actually hurt him if given the chance.

"Dude, wasn't me!" Prompto held his hands up in surrender and stepped back away from Ronan. He wasn't entirely sure what wasn't him, but he knew enough to know he'd just been standing around waiting for something to happen. He hadn't actually made something happen. Besides, until his hands were in the air they'd been busy rubbing his own arms because of a sudden chill.

"What even happened? And are you sure pissing off whatever's lurking is the best way to go?" He'd heard that sometimes antagonising ghosts was a good way to get a reaction. But what about being nice? Maybe offer them a cookie or something? Do you like pie, ghosts? Lets have a slice!

He touched the back of his neck. He could feel the vaguely raised lines of scratches, but if he thought about it there wasn't really any logical explanation for how they'd gotten there. Still, instead of giving in to fear, he eyed Prompto for a moment.

"Something scratched me," Ronan said. That sure was a sign if there ever was one, but he wasn't going to run away screaming. "Why? Are you scared?" His tone was somewhere between sincerely questioning and nasty. Prompto didn't deserve his attitude, but that kind of thing had never stopped Ronan before.

Across the room, something rattled or fell over or both, and Ronan's head whipped around to stare in that direction. He'd way prefer those kinds of interactions than bodily harm, if he was being honest. "I think I made it feel insecure."

Prompto held up his hands, and his nails that were clearly too short to scratch anyone, mainly because of a habit of nibbling on them when he was nervous. Like now. That little finger was looking like it could do with a nibble... Though Ronan's tone distracted him for the moment. He looked hurt by it and the accusation, stubbornness made him straighten up.

"Me, scared? No way... AH!" His bravado lasted for as long as it took for something to bang behind him and Prompto spun around with a yelp, looking for the source. "It's making me feel insecure! What does it even want?" Okay, so the reason they were there at all was to see if the place was haunted. But Prompto hadn't actually believed they'd find anything. It was supposed to just be a bit of fun, like on those tv shows. This was nothing like the tv shows...

If Ronan were someone else, he probably would have laughed. But not in the face of real paranormal activity. That was enough to balance him out. He might have come across as cruel, but just wait; the moment something indirectly or directly threatened Prompto, Ronan would bristle and come to his defense.

"What could the dead want? Revenge, if they're angry. To send a message, if they're lonely. To fuck with people, if they're petty." He felt like this was a petty ghost. Or maybe an angry one, considering how he'd taunted it.

After a moment, he added, thoughtful and far too calm, "Do you think we've got any evidence?"
