Goal:
The Player Characters (PCs)
seek to resolve the unfinished busi-
ness of the three spirits haunting the
mansion.
-
Raven Ridge
-
a notorious Victorian
mansion built in the 1870’s - will
soon be demolished to make way for
new homes. You have been asked
to investigate years of rumors about
strange goings on in the house.
Exploring the House:
upon enter-
ing or re-entering a room, roll for a
random encounter on the chart below.
Each spirit has a unique encounter
chart keyed to them that might also
be rolled on – Each specific encounter
occurs once.

Killer, 10-12 The Entity

Equipment for the pending construc-
tion work is set up. Both hand and motorized

A thin tome here recounts
the tale of The Killer

Fainting couch,
plush chairs, and a grand piano
4 Greenhouse:
Shattered glass roof. Rusted containers. Brown
standing water. The Victim is buried six feet
beneath the soil in the central flower plot
5
Kitchen:
Old and new utensils. A long oak
dining table. A pot of boiling water flings itself
at a PC - the stove is cold to the touch
6 Lar-
der:
Upon approaching the PCs hear a pained
meow from somewhere in the larder. In a high
cabinet is the corpse of a cat. It has been dead
for weeks
A five year old girl died in the house in
1932 of an accidental overdose of medi-
cine given by her well-meaning uncle.
Unable to face up to his mistake, he
buried the child underneath the then un-
finished greenhouse. She cannot perceive
The Killer and is afraid of The Entity.

To have her bones
discovered and a proper burial promised.

She guides the PCs to where the
book in the study is hidden.

ization, Strange Noises, Minor Telekine-

voicemail. All that can be heard is a little
girl’s unintelligible whispers
4 -
A piece
of paper and an old wax crayon. The Vic-
tim attempts to send messages through
their use
5 -
The piano in the parlor is
heard playing a hesitant tune. If a PC
investigates the room the sound stops
6 -
A child’s rubber ball is seen at the room’s
threshold. It rolls as though intelligently
controlled just outside the greenhouse
where it stops short
Demon, Evil Spirit, Extra-dimensional
- whatever The Entity truly is it means
harm to all humans. It was called to this
land in a time before the settlers and
lingers still. It feeds on the other spirit’s
misery.
Unfinished Business:
The Entity can
be banished by way of a long forgotten
incantation. Both The Victim and The
Killer know this.

PCs gain resistance against and can see
supernatural forces in the house.

Electronic Manipulation, Shadow Ma-
nipulation, Possession
The Victim:
Random Hauntings – [Roll 1d6] 1 -
The mansion’s second owner was a
dapper man-about-town who was
secretly a serial killer with a pen-
chant for assaulting women. He was
caught hiding one of his victims and
shot by pursuers. He died two weeks
later in the mansion - a slow, pain-
ful death by infection. He cannot
perceive The Victim, and envies The
Entity; defending a female PC from it
to preserve “his” plaything.
Unfinished Business:
The Killer can
only pass on if shot by same gun that
mortally wounded him (It is in the
Foyer).
Boon:
The Killer offers to share the
incantation in return for permitting
him to possess the body of a PC. He
keeps his word, but then attacks the
party and cannot be stopped until the
body he inhabits is dead.
