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.
