[UA] re: screams from nowhere

Sorry to be late, summer examinations are very time 
demanding... By the way, hello and welcome to all newcomers 
(Sasha and Eric, and perhaps some others).

Harder they are, but I think they are useful to keep the 
unnatural events *really* unnatural. If every scenarios of 
your campaign is about supernatural stuff, it cease to be 
unnatural to become normal and boring. 

And what about a false hoax a la "frighteners"? First, 
the PC investigate on a unnatural event. Then they discover 
this is a hoax. But the hoax is here to conceal a real 
unnatural event... Like: PC have to investigate on a 
haunted house, then they found basic freakshow mechanisms 
that make scary voices and ghostly lights. This stuff was 
placed here by a XXXomancer experimentating in the basement 
(or the attic) thinking: I can make weird sounds and lights 
since this mansion is known as an haunted house, and if 
someone come investigating, she'll soon discover that this 
is simply a hoax... and won't think there's a real sorcerer 
in the basement.
