A friend of mine ran a game of Cthulhu. He invited the two players round to
his room, where they habitually played. They sat and gamed for a bit.

He'd rigged threads running from his chair, behind the copious numbers of
posters on his wall, to a huge stack of Jolt Cola cans on his windowsill.
When the poltergeist attacked the players, all the cans fell over.
Apparently, they 'freaked a bit'.

And later on, when the pyrokinetic poltereist attacked, he leaned back
slightly in his chair, got an aerosol can, squirted it, lit it... and they
'freaked a bit' again.

Joe.
