[UA] Screams from Nowhere

[Gregory Paul Stolze]

Just as I was about to sign off, I had an idea for a "Screams from Nowhere"
UA scenario.  The backstory is... it's a hoax.  Some sick punko hid five or
six loudspeakers in hollow trees, thickets, underground... or maybe up in
the tops of trees where a human would be obvious.  He just rotates the
signal through different speakers to keep people distracted.  There's
nothing paranormal going on at all.

Hm... there's the seed.  How does it grow?  Maybe he's doing it as a
distraction so he can break into houses while the police are off searching.
 Or maybe he's just a bastard.  

Perhaps the conflict with the PCs arises when various occult investigators
show up and start to squabble among themselves.  

Anyone else got an idea on where to go with this?  I'd really like to see
more UA scenarios where the paranormal element turns out to be a red
herring.  (Scully/Scooby scenarios instead of Mulder ones.)  Granted, they
are a lot harder to write.

It's an honor just to be nominated.
