  Sometimes you want your players to feel like something dangerous is going on, but in reality its just a mundane occurrence. Below are 100 spooky and 
  unnerving, yet harmless encounters to intrigue your players! The term “Mundane” is meant here to mean “non-threatening” rather than “non-magical,” 
  though some of the results are certainly non-magical. Some results may not be very spooky, but I tried to make many of them interesting enough that 
  a GM could use them to create a mini-quest on the fly if the PCs got really interested in the encounter.
  Roll a d100 on the table below to get started! 
  A birds nest sits in a crack in the wall. It has three warm eggs inside
  A body hangs by its neck from a chandelier
  A broken weapon lies discarded here. It has been sundered by 
  something of great strength
  A cage containing the bones of a child hangs from the ceiling
  A ceiling tile falls, narrowly missing the party
  A chess board set up in an alcove with a half-finished game laid out
  A chicken pecks at the floor
  A circle of carefully stacked stones have been arranged in the middle 
  of the hallway
  A corpse lies on the floor. The word “SEVEN” has been carved into 
  its skull
  A crudely drawn image of a vulture deeply unsettles the PCs
  A curious rat trails the party
  A dead cow lies on the floor. It is clearly rotten but has no smell
  A deep thumping approaches the party until it sounds like it is in 
  the room with them, then stops
  A delicious dessert sits on a wooden stool
  A faded sign advertising “Hot Meat Pies” leans against the wall
  A frog with a ribbon tied around its neck hops across the floor
  A fungus growing along the floor rapidly dies as the PCs approach it
  A gold chamber pot with still-warm feces
  A group of rats gnaw at the head of an Orc. The body is nowhere to 
  be found
  A head with its lips sewn shut lies on the floor
  A large cobweb hangs in the corner. A PC sees the name of a loved 
  one written in it, but when he looks back the name is gone
  A large spider crawls out of a PC’s ear
  A large, flaming spider screeches as it races about. It is soon killed 
  by the flames
  A lone moth flits around a torch. It seems to pass through solid 
  materials and will slowly fade from sight
  A loose stone reveals the bones of a child
  A mask rests on a table. After a moment, it sighs, whispering “You’re 
  not perfect”, before crumbling into dust

  A pack and its contents lie strewn across the ground
  A pair of glowing lights are visible in the distance, but fade as the 
  PCs approach
  A PC feels a hand in his pouch, but nothing is missing
  A PC finds a slip of paper with his name on it
  A PC finds himself unconsciously flipping a coin and nervously 
  checking the outcome
  A PC has a flash of a vision in which the other PCs are stone statues
  A PC hears a horrid, cacophonous roar which fills his ears and 
  reverberates off the walls. No one else hears this
  A PC hears whispering right behind him, but there is no one there
  A PC splashes into a puddle that was not there an instant before. He 
  is soaked in stale water
  A pigeon lands on a PC’s shoulder. It has a message tied to its foot 
  which reads “Trust no one,” written in the PC’s handwriting
  A rat gnaws at a bone nearby and suddenly a hawk swoops down, 
  grabs it, and vanishes around a corner
  A severed hand covered in stitches lies on the floor
  A sheet of music is pinned to the wall with a dagger
  A shield lies on the ground here, ripped into two pieces by something 
  of immense strength
  A single strawberry grows in a pot of earth
  A skeletal foot seems to be partially embedded into the wall
  A small flower grows in a crack in the floor
  A small ray of light reaches through a crack in the ceiling
  A spider covered in spines scurries away
  A suit of armor crumples to the ground with a human sounding sigh
  A tarnished silver key hangs from a ring on the wall
  A throbbing spider nest the size of a cat is attached to the ceiling. 
  Several spiders run across it
  A timid voice whispers a PC’s name before laughing and fading
  A vile liquid bubbles and seeps up from one of the tile-stones
  A wall stone has been shifted, revealing a natural cave entrance
  A zombie with no arms or lower jaw follows the party
  All of the PCs speak in unison “It is done,” and feel elated

  An arrow sticks from a chink in the wall
  An old ring sits in a crack in the floor
  An old trail of blood leads away, as if a body were dragged. It stops 
  suddenly
  Bloody footprints left by a large creature lead down the hall, and 
  slowly fade
  Dried petals of an unidentifiable flower litter the floor
  Hundreds of insects swarm a corpse
  One by one, the lights in the room go out
  One PC has a vision of the other PCs being murdered one by one. 
  The killer wears the PC’s face and a smile
  Several headless corpses lie around a chopping block. Their heads 
  are nowhere to be found
  Statues of guards flank a bricked up doorway
  The distinct skittering of tiny paws can be heard for a moment
  The dust is thick in the air here, and the PCs feel the need to cough
  The eyes of a moth-eaten painting lazily follow the PCs
  The floor here is crawling with maggots
  The name of someone dear to one of the PCs is scratched into a wall
  The ground beneath the PCs’ feet suddenly becomes extremely
  sticky
  The lights dim and it appears as if the PCs are moving through a 
  field of stars for a moment
  The party leader gets a whiff of the perfume a loved one used to wear
  The party leader suddenly knows the identity of a killer who
  committed a crime here long ago
  The PCs can hear heavy breathing
  The PCs feel a sudden chill here
  The PCs find that they have all drawn their weapons unconsciously
  The PCs have been idly talking about an old friend before
  remembering that they know no one by that name
  The PCs hear the lonely howl of a single wolf
  The PCs hear the sounds of a massive metal blade being dragged 
  across the ground. It slowly fades into the distance regardless of the 
  PCs’ actions
  The PCs hear the sounds of drums. Drums, in the deep. They fade 
  as the PCs move
  The PCs suddenly realize that their footfalls have been completely 
  silent for several minutes. As soon as they do so, their footsteps can 
  be heard again
  The remains of an adventurer are pinned to the wall with daggers

  The smell of the sea is overwhelmingly strong in a corner of the room
  The sound of a conversation the PCs had earlier can be clearly heard 
  from behind a door
  The sound of hurried footsteps echo, and suddenly stop
  The sound of shattering pottery echoes from around a corner. If the 
  PCs investigate they find a broken vase and no one in sight
  The sound of singing floats from a doorway and fades
  The torch here seems to be burning a strange color. It returns to 
  normal as soon as the PCs interact with it
  The wall has been carved away, and a large standing stone has been 
  placed in the newly formed alcove. It is covered in strange writing
  There is a box here faintly emitting a sweet aroma. It is filled with 
  decaying fruit
  There is a desk and a pair of chairs here. One of the chairs is 
  covered in dried blood
  There is a locked box here, filled with tiny slips of paper with names 
  on them. Approximately half the names are crossed out
  There is a pile of teeth here
  There is a scroll here describing the trial and messy execution of one 
  of the PCs
  There is an empty net here on the ground, ripped and torn to
  shreds
  Thin metallic shavings form an intricate pattern in the floor
  Two ancient corpses embrace one another
  Two cats chase each other and run past the PCs
  Water drips slowly from the ceiling, but it distinctly smells like
  blood
  What appears to be the carcass of a rat lies on the floor. As the PCs 
  approach, it suddenly springs into action and darts away
  When a PC steps on a certain stone he hears a click, but nothing 
  happens
